Regional Maritime University (RMU) campus has 200 classrooms and 400 faculty offices. The classrooms are equipped with 12 fluorescent tubes, each consuming 110 W, including the electricity used by the ballasts. The faculty offices, on average, have half as many tubes. The campus is open 240 days a year. The classrooms and faculty offices are not occupied an average of 4 h a day, but the lights are kept on. If the unit cost of electricity is GHC 0.082/kWh, determine how much the campus will save a year if the lights in the classrooms and faculty offices are turned off during unoccupied periods.

A large GEO satellite requires a total of 12 kW to operate its communication systems and 1.5 kW for housekeeping purposes. The solar cells on the satellite are mounted on two large sails that rotate to face the sun at all times. The efficiency of the solar cells is 36% at BOL and 33% at EOL. Using an average incident solar flux density of 1.36 kW/m² calculate the area of each solar sail to meet the power requirements at the end of the satellite's life. How much power is generated BOL? The solar arrays are 2.0 m wide. How long are they?
