Plese help m Read the following case and discuss how you would respond to the situation.
PROBLEM:

You have been assigned the position of Environmental Engineer for one of several local
robotics manufacturers whose water discharges flow into a lake in a flourishing tourist area.
Although all the robotics companies in the area are marginally profitable, they compete for
the same customers. Included in your responsibilities is the monitoring of water and air
discharges
at your plant and the periodic preparation of reports to be submitted to the Department of
Natural Resources. You have just prepared a report that indicates that the
level of pollution in the plant's water discharges slightly exceeds the legal limitations. Your
boss, the Plant Manager, says you should regard the excess as a mere
"technicality," and he asks you to "adjust" the data so that the plant appears to be in
compliance. He says that the slight excess is not going to endanger human or fish
life any more than if the plant were in compliance. On the other hand, he says, solving the
problem would require a very heavy investment in new equipment. He
explains, "We can't afford new equipment. It might even cost a few jobs. It will set us
behind our competitors. Besides the bad publicity we'd get, it might scare off
some of the tourist industry, making it worse for everybody."

1) How do you think you should respond to your boss's request? Explain :

2) Define the problem :

3) what are the possible results of decision?

4) is there any information about the situation that is not obvious or available in the paragraph?

5) what are the ethical issues to consider in this situation

6) How did you decide to handle the situation what did you decide to do?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. shine a pencil-thin beam of light on a mirror perpendicular to its surface. (if you don't have a laser light as suggested in the video, you can make a narrow beam from a flashlight by making a cone from black construction paper and taping it over the face of the flashlight.) how does the light reflect? how does the relationship of incident to reflected ray relate to the reflection of water waves moving perpendicular to a barrier? 2. shine a pencil-thin beam of light on a mirror standing on a sheet of paper on the table (or floor) so that you can mark the incident ray and reflected ray. (you can support the mirror from the back by taping it to a wooden block.) 3. mark a line on the paper representing the reflective surface. (the reflective surface of a mirror is usually the back edge.) 4. draw a dashed line perpendicular to the mirror surface at a point where the incident and reflected ray meet. this perpendicular is called a normal to the surface. 5. measure the angles between the rays and the normal. the angle of incidence is the angle formed by the incident ray and the normal to the surface. the angle formed by the reflected ray and normal is called the angle of reflection (r). what is the angle of incidence? what is the angle of reflection? 6. repeat for several different angles. (see report sheet for details.) what appears to be the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection? in science 1204, what was the relationship for these two angles made by the reflection of waves in a ripple tank? 7. roll a ball bearing so that it hits a fixed, hard surface (a metal plate) at several angles (including head-on). observe the way in which the ball bearing reflects. what generalization can you make about how a ball bearing reflects from a wall? have you proved that light can only behave like a wave?

Which statement best describes copper? a. it has a low resistance and prevents charges from moving freely. b it has a high resistance and allows charges to move freely. c. it has a high resistance and prevents charges from moving freely. d. it has a low resistance and allows charges to move freely

8.29 two streams containing pyridine and acetic acid at 25°c are mixed and fed into a heat exchanger. due to the heat-of-mixing effect, it is desired to reduce the temperature after mixing to 25°c using a stream of chilled ethylene glycol as indicated in the diagram. calculate the mass flow rate of ethylene glycol needed. the heat capacity of ethylene glycol at these conditions is approximately 2.8 kj/(kg k), and the enthalpy change of mixing (δmixh) is given below.
