Next, it will be sliced into wafers 0.8 mm thick using a cut-off saw with a kerf = 0.5 mm. The wafer thus produced will be used to fabricate as many IC chips as possible for the personal computer market. Each IC has a market value to the company of $108. Each chip is square with 17 mm on a side. The processable area of each wafer is defined by a diameter = 265 mm.

That means that packing the products is done via the use of machines. The packing machine spews out 1 pack of chicken nuggets per 5 seconds. A conveyor belt is then used to send the packed nuggets in the next process. The length of the conveyor belt is 10 meters long. Design a conveyor wheel that will deliver the nuggets from the packing machine to the next process in 5 seconds. You can use any size of the belt wheel and motor speed.arrow_forward
