Wo companies, ajax co. and boho inc., were negotiating a merger. in the course of the negotiations, an ajax representative told her contemporary at boho that a patent was pending in relation to a certain invention. she reasonably believed the statement to be true. the following week, the ajax representative learned that the patent was not yet pending. in reality, the application was about to be filed with the u. s. patent office but had not been filed already. to avoid potential legal issues, should the ajax representative correct the information about the patent?

An engine, weighing 3000 n, is supported on a pedestal mount. it has been observed that the engine induces vibration into the surrounding area through its pedestal at the maximum operating speed. determine the stiffness of the dynamic vibration absorber spring in (n/m) that will reduce the vibration when mounted on the pedestal. the magnitude of the exciting force is 250 n, and the amplitude of motion of the auxiliary mass is to be limited to 2 mm note: in this question type-in right numbers, no decimals, no fractions, no unit. approximate to right number if needed
