Data consists of facts, a description of the world at a single point in time. Why is information based on thatdata sometimes incorrect or flawed?

Knowing that the central portion of link bd has a uniform cross sectional area of 800 mm2 , determine the magnitude of the load p for which the normal stress in link bd is 50 mpa. (hint: link bd is a two-force member.) ans: p = 62.7 kn

Which of the following statements is false? a. a class can directly inherit from class object. b. if the class you're inheriting from declares instance variables as private, the inherited class can access those instance variables directly. c. a class's instance variables are normally declared private to enforce good software engineering. d. it's often much more efficient to create a class by inheriting from a similar class than to create the class by writing every line of code the new class requires.

For positive constants a and b, the force between two atoms in a molecule is given f(r) = −a r2 + b r3 , where r > 0 is the distance between the atoms. note: a and b are upper case letters. (a) find f '(r) = (b) find the critical point for f(r). r = (c) find f ''(r) = (d) find the value of r so that f ''(r) = 0.
