5. Two processes can be used for producing a polymer that reduces friction loss in engines. Process T will have a first cost of $750,000, an operating cost of $60,000 per year, and a salvage value of $80,000 after its 2-year life. Process W will have a first cost of $1,350,000, an operating cost of $25,000 per year, and a $120,000 salvage value after its 4-year life. Process W will also require updating at the end of year 2 at a cost of $90,000. Which process should be selected on the basis of a future worth analysis at an interest rate of 12% per year?

A cube made of an alloy with dimensions of 50mm×50mm×50mm is placed intoa pressure chamber and subjected to a pressure of 80 MPa. If the modulus ofelasticity of the alloy is 200 GPa and Poisson’s ratio is 0.30, what will be thelength of each side of the cube, assuming that the material remains within theelastic region?
A coarse aggregate sample was dried in an oven for 1.5 hours before it was immersed in water for 24 hours then rolled in an absorbent cloth to dry the surfaces of the aggregate. The weight in this condition is found to be 3002 g. It was transferred to a density basket to determine its weight in water which was recorded to be 1910 g. it was then poured in a drying pan and dried in the oven. The weight after drying was 2965 g.

•Sam, the strawberry producer, has had complaints from the produce company that his strawberries are damaged during transit. Sam would like to know the force required to damage the strawberries if they are stacked three deep in their container. •The damage occurs on the bottom layer at the interface with the parallel surface of the container and also at the point of contact between the layers of strawberries. •An hydrostatic bulk compression test on a sample of Sam's strawberries indicates an average bulk modulus of 225 psi. Testing of specimens from Sam's strawberry crop shows a compression modulus E of 200 psi. The average strawberry diameter is 1.25 inches and the axial deformation due to the damage in transit averages 0.23 inches. The modulus of elasticity for Sam's variety of strawberries is reported to be 130 psi. •Estimate the force Sam's strawberries may be encountering during transit. (Hertz method)
