An office building to be constructed in Houston will be subjected to wind loads. The probability that the wind speed will exceed 100 miles per hour (mph) is 0.01% in any year. If the building subjected to wind speeds exceeding 100 mph, the damage will be $65,000. No damage occurs when the wind speed is less than 100 mph. To protect the building against winds of 100 mph or more, the engineers have determined that an additional capital investment of $35,000 is required. When the building is subjected to wind speeds in excess of 100 mph, the building damage is estimated to be $6,000. Use Decision Tree Analysis determine the best of the following alternatives: A. B. No additional investment for wind load damage $35,000 investment for wind load damage Assume a design life of 20 years and a yearly interest rate of 10 percent (See Engineering Economics Reference). You must draw the Decision Tree (with all pertinent information). Present detailed calculations to support your results.

To remedy the traffic situation at a busy intersection in Quezon City, two plans are being considered. Plan A is to build a complete clover-leaf costing PhP 100M which would provide for all the needs during the next 30 years. Maintenance costs are estimated to be PhP 200,000 a year for the first 15 years, and PhP 300,000 a year for the next 15 years. Plan B is to build a partial clover-leaf at a cost of PhP 70M which would be sufficient for the next 15 years. At the end of 15 years, the clover-leaf will be completed at an estimated cost of PhP 50M. Maintenance would cost PhP 120,000 a year during the first 15 years and PhP 220,000 a year during the next 15 years. If money is worth 10%, which of the two plans would you recommend and at what cost (PW)?

g = 10 m/s^2 * %3D Write your complete justification of the answer on your paper. (To accept your answer, you should write it as .0 just one-digit below the comma and without unit): A block slides on a rough horizontal surface from point A to point B. A force (magnitude P=2.0 N) acts on the block between A and B, as shown. Points A and B are 1.5 m apart. If the kinetic energies of the block at A and B are 5.0 J and 4.0 J, respectively, how much work is done on the block by the force of friction as the block moves from A to B? 40° A
