He submits a report to his boss indicating the cost breakdown of the foundation and framing work based on the soil analysis and loading specifications for the building. The total came to N25, 000. His boss then told him to do whatever it takes to get that figure down to N20, 000. Engr. Tunde should 8. Adjust the analysis and specifications figures somewhat in order to cut cost. b. Redo the soil tests to try to get better figures and revise the framing design to minimize material costs while meeting the design specifications €, Notify dhe inspéction authorities that his boss was trying to get him to behave dishonestly.

Q is the flow through the value per unit valve opening, \V, is the volume of oil (fluid) in the system. K is the bulk modulus of oil (fluid). Mis the mass of the load. A is the cross sectional area and the leakage co-efficient. The flow transfer functions for the system when the actuator position is fed back to the valve by means of a one to one linkage. If 4p = pressure difference aeross the piston AL Q=QrQL+Q B. Q=AsX+Lap+ 4 NOTE (kdv = vdp) © Q=AsKtvdp + D. Q=AsK +s + 7.
