The force F goes through the origin of the xy-coordinate system and makes an angle ???? with the horizontal, as shown in Figure 12.25. Points A and B are at the coordinates indicated on the figure in units of feet. Calculate the moment of F about points A and B, assigning positive values to counterclockwise moments.

F = 7 450 lbf

???? = 330°

Develop a spreadsheet that will determine the average monthly cost of operating 215 individual air-conditioning units in a manufacturing facility. Each unit is rated at 24 000 Btu/h. Consider EER values from 7.0 to 11.0 in increments of 0.5 and prepare a table of monthly costs versus EER. The electrical rate structure is as follows:

First 5 000 kWh = 11.0¢/kWh Next 15 000 kWh = 8.5¢/kWh Over 20 000 kWh = 8.0¢/kWh Assume that the units run an average of eight hours per day on weekdays and 10 hours on Saturdays (closed Sunday). Use a 31-day month beginning on a Monday.
