A Boeing 777 landed at Chicago O’Hare Airport (668 m elevation) where the pressure is 98.8 kPa. Assume that the landing speed is 196.4 mi/hr. This 777 wing has a coefficient of drag of 0.034 and its wing area is 429.1 m2. What is the drag at the point where the aircraft just lands on the ground? Note that these conditions are non-standard so use altitude to calculate temperature then use the pressure given to calculate density.

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)?
