2.2.12 In the design of an electromechanical product, 12 com- ponents are to be stacked into a cylindrical casing in a manner that minimizes the impact of shocks. One end of the casing is designated as the bottom and the other end is the top. a. If all components are different, how many different designs are possible

479,001,600 different designs are possible

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we want to know in how many ways 12 elements can be arranged.

Number of possible arrangements of x elements:

The number of possible arrangments of x elements is given by:

In this question:

12 elements. So

479,001,600 different designs are possible

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
