The following questions (35 – 36) are related with the information below: On January 1, 2010, Hampton purchased equipment at a cost of $400,000. The installation cost is $20,000. The equipment has a 10 year life and an expected salvage value at the end of 10 years of $20,000. On January 1st, 2011, Hampton revised the useful life of the computers to a total of 14 years to replace the original assumption of 10 years and the salvage value to $30,000. What is the annual depreciation expense for year 2010? (3 points. Please write positive value as $xx,xxx and negative value as -$xx,xxx) 

Which is a source of cash? (2 points)

Q5. (20 pts) In the following cable system, mass at B is 70 kg and mass at C is 25 kg. What magnitude of the force P is required to maintain the equilibrium at the given position? Your solution must include FBDs.

Q1. (20 pts) Identify the zero-force members in the following truss.  

Under the most recent SCOTUS decisions, “fighting words” are narrowly limited to unambiguous invitations to brawl that are specifically directed from one person to another.

In Bigelow v. Virginia, the SCOTUS held:

Freedom of speech was born in ancient Athens, where aristocratic rulers allowed certain classes of citizens to speak without fear of punishment.

Problem 1 [15 points] Consider two discrete-time LTI systems with input-output relationships $$S_1: y_1[n] = x[n – 2] \quad \text{and} \quad S_2: y_2[n] = \sum_{k = -\infty}^{n} x[k]$$We place them in cascade to form a composite system:$$x[n] \rightarrow \boxed{S_1} \rightarrow \boxed{S_2} \rightarrow y[n]$$We input a periodic signal \(x[n]\) to this cascade, which has Fourier series coefficients \(\{a_k\}\). Letting \(\{b_k\}\) be the Fourier series coefficients for the output \(y[n]\), give an expression for \(b_k\) in terms of \(a_k\). (You do not need to consider \(k = 0\).) Problem 2 [15 points] An LTI system has a frequency response$$H(j\omega) = \frac{3 + j\omega}{jw(2 + j\omega)}.$$If the output of the system is$$y(t) = e^{-2t}u(t),$$determine the input \(x(t)\) being applied to the system. Problem 3 [35 points] Consider a periodic signal $$x(t) = 2 + \sin\left(\frac{2\omega_0t}{3}+\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + e^{j\left(\omega_0t+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)}$$ (a) [15 pts] Determine the period. And hence find the Fourier Series coefficients \(\{a_k\}\) of \(x(t)\).    (Hint: Use Euler’s equations) (b) [10 pts] Determine the Fourier Transform of \(x(t)\). (c) [10 pts] Use Parseval’s relation (of CTFS) to determine the overall average power \(P_{\infty}\) of \(x(t)\). Problem 4 [35 points] Consider an LTI system. Given an input signal,$$x(t) = \frac{\sin(\pi t)}{\pi t},$$the corresponding output signal is,$$y(t) = \left(\frac{\sin(3t)}{\pi t}\right)^2$$ (a) [15 pts] Determine and plot the spectrum of both \(X(j\omega)\) and \(Y(j\omega)\). Make sure you mark all the key points (both frequency and amplitude). (b) [15 pts] If \(x_1(t) = \cos(\pi t) + \sin(2 \pi t)\) is fed to the same system, determine the corresponding output signal \(y_1(t)\)? (c) [5 pts] If we think of this system as a low-pass filter, what is the cut-off frequency?

The SCOUTS, in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell, held that a tasteless parody of Jerry Falwell was protected as free speech even though it contained a false statement of fact.
