To build your race car you need a part what can be bought on the public market for 250 EUR per piece. Your plan is to sell 1000 race cars the next five years. If you will manufacture the part by yourself, you need an investment of 400.000 EUR for the installation. Furthermore, you need to pay 20.000 EUR per year for the machine operator. The material costs are 50 EUR per piece. The machine cannot be sold after the usage. What is the cost of one piece of the own manufactured parts? Give answer as one whole number

During last year acceleration a top speed of 100 km/h was reached. Due to big improvements in the new drivetrain, the new vehicle reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. The aerodynamics chief has some worries about the stability of the rear wing bracing due to the higher aerodynamics load. Given the geometry below, by how much % does the bearing force in point A change in comparison to last year? (The aerodynamic package did not change and therefore some values can be assumed for both vehicles). Give answer rounded to one decimal place.

CL=3.8     CD=1.2     A=1 m²     rho=1.1 kg/m³     L1=50 mm     L2= 100 mm     H1= 125 mm     H2= 165mm

You would like to drink a cup of very hot coffee with milk early in the morning, but you
are in a hurry and have only 5 minutes until you have to leave for work. At which time
after brewing should you add the cold milk to the coffee and stir in order to decrease the
temperature of the mixture as much as possible:
a) 0 minutes (immediately),
b) 2 minutes, or
c) 4 minutes?
Suppose that the stirring can be done instantaneously and that you need the last one
minute for drinking.

brew temperature C = 80 ◦C, temperature of milk = M = 10 ◦C, room temperature
0 = 20 ◦C, volume of coffee VC = 300 ml, volume of milk VM = 100 ml, specific heat
capacity of coffee cC = 4180 J/(kgK), specific heat capacity of milk cM = 3500 J/(kgK).

Please enter only the letter of the corresponding answer
