question 206

Multiple Choice

Table 10.23
The Terminal Company is attempting to balance its assembly line of high-voltage electrical connectors. The desired output
for the line is 50 connectors per hour, and the information on the work elements for this assembly line is as follows.
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | } \hline \begin{array} { c } \text { Work } \\\text { Elements }\end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Time } \\( \mathrm { sec } ) \end{array} & \begin{array} { c } \text { Immediate } \\\text { Predecessor(s) }\end{array} \\\hline \text { A } & 40 & - - \\\text { B } & 36 & \text { A } \\\text { C } & 20 & \text { A } \\\text { D } & 2 & \text { A } \\\text { E } & 30 & \text { B, C } \\\text { F } & 34 & \text { D } \\\text { G } & 35 & \text { E } \\\text { H } & 5 & \text { F } \\\text { I } & 15 & \text { E, H } \\\text { J } & 40 & \text { H } \\\text { K } & 38 & \text { G, I, J } \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Use the information from Table 10.23, and the longest work- element rule to balance this line. What work elements are included in the first station?

• A) A only
• B) A and B only
• C) A and C only
• D) A and D only

Definitions:

Doublet

A pair of closely spaced lines or signals observed in spectroscopy, indicating the splitting of a spectral line into two components.

NMR Data

Data derived from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, utilized to identify the configuration of molecules.

Quartet

A signal in NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy indicating the presence of three equivalent protons coupled to the observed nucleus, typically resulting in a pattern of four peaks.

Singlet

A term in spectroscopy describing a state with all electron spins paired, resulting in no net electron spin.
