Question 37

An automated cutter is supplied with 4.0 kJ of energy. Its Sankey diagram has three output arrows. The table gives the widths of two of the output arrows and the input arrow.

Energy transferArrow width
input to the cutter80 mm
to thermal energy stores18 mm
by sound waves2 mm

The third output transfers energy mechanically to the cutting blade. To make one cut, the blade moves 6.0 mm against a constant resistive force of 25 kN25\ \mathrm{kN}25 kN.

Calculate the maximum number of complete cuts that the cutter can make using the energy supplied.
