A cone-shaped part is to be fabricated using stereolithography. The radius of the cone at its base = 35 mm and its height = 40 mm. The layer thickness = 0.20 mm. The diameter of the laser beam = 0.22 mm, and the beam is moved across the surface of the photopolymer at a velocity of 500 mm/s. Compute an estimate for the time required to build the part, if 10 s are lost each layer to lower the height of the platform that holds the part. Neglect post-curing time.

Stanislaw Timber Company owns 9,000 acres of timberland purchased in 2003 at a cost of $1,400 per acre. At the time of purchase, the land without the timber was valued at $400 per acre. In 2004, Stanislaw built fire lanes and roads, with a life of 30 years, at a cost of $84,000. Every year, Stanislaw sprays to prevent disease at a cost of $3,000 per year and spends $7,000 to maintain the fire lanes and roads. During 2005, Stanislaw selectively logged and sold 700,000 board feet of timber, of the estimated 3,500,000 board feet. In 2006, Stanislaw planted new seedlings to replace the trees cut at a cost of $100,000. Instructions (a) Determine the depreciation expense and the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2005. (b) Stanislaw has not logged since 2005. If Stanislaw logged and sold 900,000 board feet of timber in 2016, when the timber cruise (appraiser) estimated 5,000,000 board feet, determine the cost of timber sold related to depletion for 2016.

Referring back to Figure 10.8 on page 293, and assuming that the MRPL curve represents the marginal social benefit from the employment of a factor, and that the price of the factor represents its marginal social cost (i.e. assuming no externalities), show that a monopsony will employ less than the Pareto optimal amount of factors.

The two axes of an x-y positioning table are each driven by a stepping motor connected to a leadscrew with a 4:1 gear reduction. The number of step angles on each stepping motor is 200. Each leadscrew has a pitch = 5.0 mm and provides an axis range = 400.0 mm. There are 16 bits in each binary register used by the controller to store position data for the two axes. (a) What is the controlresolution of each axis? (b) What are the required rotational speeds and corresponding pulse train frequencies of each stepping motor in order to drive the table at 600 mm/min in a straight line from point (25,25) to point (300,150)? Ignore acceleration.
