Lola entered into a written contract to buy a car from Park Motors. During the negotiations, the sales representative said that the car had a two-year full warranty. The written contract included a provision that stated, “This writing is the full and final expression of the parties’ agreement; anything said before signing or while signing is irrelevant.” The written contract did not include a warranty. Two months after Lola took delivery of the car, she discovered that the transmission needed to be replaced. Lola claimed that it was covered by the full warranty. Will Lola be able to present evidence as to the sales representative’s statements concerning the warranty?

Asim Plumbers agrees to purchase all of its sump pump requirements from Sumner Sump Pump, Inc. These two businesses have had similar agreements the last three years, and Asim’s requirements have averaged 100 sump pumps per year. This year there was an unusually wet spring and Asim’s requirements doubled to 200 sump pumps. Because of the high demand for sump pumps, the market price of the pumps triples.

What is the most likely result?

Two identical 10-kg spheres are attached to the light rigid rod, which rotates in the horizontal plane centered at O. If the spheres are subjected to tangential forces of 10 N, and the rod is subjected to a couple moment M = (8t) N·m, where t is in seconds, select the best answer for the speed of the spheres at the instant t = 4 s. The system starts from rest. Neglect the size of the spheres.
