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 = 4.2(10)² lbf

???? = 45°

Wilson Partners manufactures thermocouples for remote temperature monitoring of electronics applications. The current system has a fixed cost of $400,000 per year and a variable cost of $10 per unit. Wilson sells the units for $14 each. A newly proposed system will add on-board features that allow the revenue to increase to $16 per unit, but the fixed cost will now be $600,000 per year. The variable cost of the new system will be based on a $48 per hour rate with 0.2 hour dedicated to produce each unit. Determine the annual breakeven quantity for the (a) current system, and (b) proposed system.
