A manufacturing company produces steel housings for electrical equipment. The main component part is a steel trough that is made out of 14-gauge steel coil. Steel troughs are produced using a 250-ton progressive punch press that puts two 90° forms in the flat steel to make the trough. The distance from one side of the form to the other is critical for weatherproofing. The width of the trough is specified to be between 8.4 inches and 8.5 inches. n=49 (values below)

An artist is making a sculpture consisting of three oblique triangular prisms that support a cube to
install in a park in San Francisco. He is going to make the sculpture out of bronze and needs to know
how much bronze to order and how much it is going to cost. He can order bronze for $1.13 per pound
from a local supply yard. The bronze weighs 541 pounds per cubic foot. Each triangular prism has a
height of 6 ft and a base area of 4 ft?. The cube that will go on top will have a side length of 3 ft.
1. What is the volume of the sculpture?
2. What is the total cost of the bronze?
A 120 lb., 55-year-old female lifts a box with weight of 18 pounds from a position on the floor to a conveyor whose surface height is 25 inches from the floor. She lifts this box at a rate of four lifts per minute. The box, which has cutout handles at a distance of 7 inches from the floor, begins in a position 45 degrees to the right at a distance of 12 inches and ends directly
in front of her at a forward distance of 18 inches. The worker performs this task constantly for 6 hours per day.
Calculate the FIRWL and FILI for the start position.
