Determine the specifications (unstretched length and spring constant) for the elastic cord to be used at a bungee-jumping facility. Participants are to jump from a platform 150 ft above the ground. When they rebound, they must avoid an obstacle that extends 15 ft below the point at which they jumped. In determining the specifications for the cord, establish reasonable safety limits for the minimum distances by which participants must avoid the ground and obstacle. Account for the fact that participants will have different weights and heights. If necessary, specify a maximum allowable weight for participants. Write a brief report presenting your analyses and making a design recommendation for the specification of the cord.

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)?
