1. A cylindrical log has diameter 12 inches. A wedge is cut from the log by making two planar cuts that go
entirely through the log. The first is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder, and the plane of the second
cut forms a 45° angle with the plane of the first cut. The intersection of these two planes has exactly one
point in common with the log. The number of cubic inches in the wedge can be expressed as nπ, where n
is a positive integer. Find n.

3. A factory operates at 0.8 power factor lagging and has a monthly demand of 750 kVA. The monthly
power rate is 8.50 per kVA. To improve the power factor 250 kVA capacitors are installed in which there
is negligible power loss. The installed cost of equipment is 20,000 pesos and fixed charges are estimated
at 10% per year. Calculate the annual saving effected using capacitors.

5. Brought about by the entry of more than 700 MW of capacity in 2016 and expected additional
capacity of 1,260 MW by end of 2018, Mindanao has started to experience a power supply situation with
ample margin.

In view of this, the Department of Energy (DOE) has declared the launch of the Wholesale Electricity
Spot Market (WESM) in Mindanao through DOE DC2017-05-0009. Similar to its function for the Luzon
and Visayas grids, the WESM would be the venue for efficient scheduling, dispatch, and settlement of
energy withdrawal and injections in the Mindanao grid.

The commercial operation of the WESM in the Mindanao grid started on ____ at 005-hour dispatch
