please solve this perfectly. subject: : Project Planning, Management & Engineering Economics. A road building contractor has received a major highway construction contract that will require 50,000 m3 of crushed stone each year for 5 years. The needed stone can be obtained from a quarry for S5.80/m3. As an alternative, the contractor has decided to try and purchase the quarry. He believes that if he owned the quarry, the stone would only cost him $4.30/m3. He thinks he could resell the quarry at-the end of 5 years for $40,000. If the contractor uses a 10% interest rate, evaluate how much would he be willing to pay for the quarry?

For the beam shown, the magnitude of the concentrated load is P = 28 kN, the magnitude of the couple is Mg = 200 kN-m, and the beam lengths are a = 4.8 m and b= 14.4 m. (a) derive equations for the shear force V and the bending moment M for any location in the beam. Place the origin at point. A. (b) use the derived functions to plot the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam. Use your diagrams to determine the magnitudes of the maximum shear force and the maximum bending moment. Note that answers may be positive or negative. Here, "maximum" refers to the largest magnitude value, but you should enter your shear force and bending moment with the correct sign, using the sign convention presented in Section 7.2 of the textbook. If the magnitudes of the largest positive and largest negative values are the same, enter a positive number. P a MB B b C X
