The 10-kg uniform rod is pinned at end A. If it is subjected to a couple moment of 50 N#m, determine the smallest angle u for equilibrium. The spring is unstretched when u = 0°, and has a stiffness of k = 60 N>m.

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?

A12 mm diameter shaft runs in a plain cylindrical bush 30 mm long that is located in an 18 mm diameter hole in a housing. the shaft-inner bush fit is h8 f and the outer bush-housing fit is h7-p6. make a fully cimensioned sketch of the bush with tolerances. find the maximum and minimum clearance or interference for both fits on the inner and outer diameters of the bush
