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?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
