12. A solar-thermal power plant (Tonapah, for example) might cost $2B to build and operate over its 20 year lifetime. Assume it generates 100 MW for 8 hours a day; assume it is always sunny during the days:
a) How much must be charged wholesale for generation of this electricity, just to cover that initial cost?
Please compute the cost in $/kW-hr, which is the wholesale consumer cost that is quoted. Note for a
natural gas power plant, this wholesale cost is $0.05/kW-hr, approximately. Make any simplifying econ.
assumptions postulates as are helpful.

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).

You are your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. you apply a horizontal force of 252 n in the negative x direction to try and move the 56 kg refrigerator. the coefficient of static friction is 0.61. (a) how much static frictional force does the floor exert on the refrigerator? give both magnitude (in n) and direction. magnitude n direction (b) what maximum force (in n) do you need to apply before the refrigerator starts to move?
