On January 1, 2016, Burleson Corporation’s projected benefit obligation was $30 million. During 2016 pension benefits paid by the trustee were$4 million. Service cost for 2016 is $12 million. Pension plan assets (at fair value) increased during 2016 by$6 million as expected. At the end of 2016, there was no prior service cost and a negligible balance in net loss–AOCI. The actuary’s discount rate was 10%. Required: Determine the amount of the projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2016.

Skydivers, flying over sea-level ground, typically jump at about 8000 ft altitude and free-fall spread-eagled until they open their chutes at about 2000 ft. They take about 10 s to reach terminal velocity. Estimate how many seconds of free-fall they enjoy if (a) they fall spread-eagled or (b) they fall feet first? Assume a total skydiver weight of 220 lbf.

A fluid with a density of 2000 kg/m$^{3}$ flows steadily between two flat plates. The bottom plate is fixed and the top one moves at a constant speed in the x direction. The velocity is $\mathrm{V=0.20 y \hat{i} m / s}$ where y is in meters. The acceleration of gravity is $\mathrm{g}=-9.8 \hat{\mathbf{j}} \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$. The only nonzero shear stresses, $\tau_{y x}=\tau_{x y}$, are constant throughout the flow with a value of 5 N/m$^{2}$. The normal stress at the origin (x = y = 0) is s $\sigma_{x x}=-100 \mathrm{kPa}$. Use the x and y components of the equations of motion to determine the normal stress throughout the fluid. Assume that $\sigma_{x x}=\sigma_{y y}$.
