Paul Sabin organized Sabin Electronics 10 years ago to produce and sell several electronic devices on which he had secured patents. Although the company has been fairly profitable, it is now experiencing a severe cash shortage. For this reason, it is requesting a $590,000 long-term loan from Gulfport State Bank, $145,000 of which will be used to bolster the Cash account and $445,000 of which will be used to modernize equipment. The company’s financial statements for the two most recent years follow:

A 1.25 lbs. measuring tape became dislodged from the belt of a worker on the 48th floor of a building under construction and fell approximately 460 feet hitting another worker who was delivering materials to the project. The worker who was struck and killed was not wearing a hard hat but had one available in his truck. If we assume a deceleration distance of 4”, what was the force in pounds generated by the measuring tape at impact and what is the velocity of the measuring tape at impact?
