Which of the following statements is true about cutting speed for reaming operations on the lathe? POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
Cutting speed for reaming is higher than other holemaking operations.
Smaller diameter reamers require lower cutting speeds.
Operators should decrease cutting speed with greater depth.
Cutting speed for reaming is about half of that for drilling.

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)?

Two slings are used to lift a girder of length l and uniform weight per unit length. what is the best position for the slings if the bending moment due to the weight of the girder is to be kept to a minimum?
