Acantilever beam of length l = 70 in is made from two side-by-side structural-steel channels of size 3 in weighing 5.0 lbf/ft. the beam supports a uniform external distributed load of w = 6 lbf/in and a point load of f = 170 lbf at the end. including the weight of the channels, use castigliano's theorem to find the magnitude of deflection at a.

Two technicians are discussing the intake air temperature (iat) sensor. technician a says that the computer uses the iat sensor as a backup to the engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor. technician b says that the powertrain control module (pcm) will subtract the calculated amount of fuel if the air measures hot. who is correct

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)?
