In filling bags of nitrogen fertilizer, it is desired to hold the average overfill to as low a value as possible. The lower specification limit is 22.00 kg (48.50 lb), the popu-lation mean weight of the bags is 22.73 kg (50.11 lb), and the population standard deviation is 0.80 kg (1.76 lb). What percentage of the bags contains less than 22 kg? If it is permissible for 5% of the bags to be below 22 kg, what would be the average weight? Assume a normal distribution.

Asingle-geared blanking press has a stroke of 200 mm and a rated capacity of 320 kn. a cam driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. the camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6: 1 ratio. the total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction a) estimate the maximum energy fluctuation b) find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 1.2 m and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10

For a gate width of 2 m into the paper, determine the force required to hold the gate abc at its location.

Analyze the factors that influence the choice between the following pairs of processes to make the products indicated: i) sand casting versus die casting of an electric-motor housing ii) thread rolling versus machining of a bolt for high-strength application. (co3/c5)
