By the time of Edison's death in 1931, his inventions had dramatically changed people’s lives. Electricity became a staple in people’s homes. In tribute to him, electric lights were dimmed for one minute a few days after his death. Edison contributed to a range of fields. Many of his inventions were aimed at improving communication. His phonograph was a huge development in recorded audio, and his kinetograph and kinetoscope were some of the earliest moving images. His ideas would go on to inspire inventors for years to come. Which statement would the author of this passage most likely agree with?We should be grateful for Edison not only for what he invented but also because he inspired others to invent. BEdison is falsely credited for many products he did not invent. Edison devoted too much time to improving communication and should have spent more time on other fields. Electricity would have become a stable even without Edison’s inventions.

Ashielded metal arc-welding operation is accomplished in a work cell by a fitter and a welder. the fitter takes 5.5 min to load components into the welding fixture at the beginning of the work cycle, and 1.5 min to unload the completed weldment at the end of the cycle. the total ength of the weld seams 1200 mm, and the travel speed used by the welder averages 300 mm/min. every 600 mm of seam length, the welding stick must be changed, which takes 0.8 min. while the fitter is working, the welder is idle (resting): and while the welder is working the fitter is idle. (a) determine the average arc-on time as a fraction of the work cycle time. (b) how much improvement in arc-on time would result if the welder used flux-cored arc welding (manually operated), given that the spool of weld wire must be changed every 10 weldments, and it takes the welder 5.0 min to accomplish the change? (c) what are the production rates for these two cases (weldments completed per hour)? attach your work and solutions.
