Ariver flows from north to south at 8 km/h. a boat is to cross this river from west to east at a speed of 20 km/h (speed of the boat with respect to the earth/ground). at what angle (in degrees) must the boat be pointed upstream such that it will proceed directly across the river (hint: find the speed of the boat with respect to water/river)? a 288 b. 21.8 c. 326 d. 30.2

The ivanpah solar thermal power plant cost $2.2 billion to build. the gross plant electric output is 392 mw, and the net output is 377 mw. the planned capacity factor was 27.4%, but the actual capacity factor in 2016 was 20.5%. at best the plant thermal efficiency appears to be 18%. in addition, for the daily startup process, the solar plant also burned 1.3x10^12 btu of natural gas in 2016. the cost of natural gas in 2016 was about $2.5 per million btu. assuming a levelized annual fixed charge rate of 7%, determine (a) the capital cost (c/kwh) and (b) the fuel cost (e/k wh) for the electricity in 2016.
