A turbine started from rest to 180 rpm in 6 min. at a constant acceleration. Find the number of revolutions that it makes within the elapse time.


Solution:

wo = 0

wf = 180 rpm

t = 6 min

wf = wo + αt

180 = 0 + α (6)

α = 30 rev/s2

wf2 = wo2 + 2 α θ

1802 = 0 + 2 (30) θ

θ = 540 revolutions

The cost of equipment is P500,000 and the cost of installation is P30,000. If the salvage value is 10% of the cost of equipment at the end of 5 years, determine the book value at the end of the fourth year. Use straight line method.


Solution:

Cost of equipment = P500,000

Installation cost = P30,000

First Cost = 500,000 + 30,000

First Cost = 530,000

Salvage value = 50,000 @ +

da = 96000

D4= 96000 (4)

D4 = 384000

B4 = F.C. – D4

B4 = 530,000 – 384,000

B4 = P 146,000
