Question

A fan is designed to last for a certain time before it will have to be replaced (planned obsolescence). The fan only has one speed (at a maximum of 775 rpm), and it reaches the speed in 2.0 s (starting from rest). It takes the fan 12.0 s for the blade to stop once it is turned off. The manufacturer specifies that the fan will operate up to 1 billion rotations. Andre lives in a hot climate, works outside of the home from approximately 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, does not own an air conditioner, and can't sleep with the fan running.
