A simple span beam with a uniformly distributed dead load of 1.1 k/ft, including the self-weight, and concentrated dead loads of 3.4 kips and live loads of 6.0 kips at the third points of a 24-ft span, is to be designed with lateral supports at the third points and live load deflection limited to 1/360 of the span. Use the correct Cb, and be sure to check shear. Determine the least-weight Wshape to carry the loads.

Apipe with an outside diameter of 15 cm is exposed to an ambient air and surrounding temperature of -20°c. the pipe has an outer surface temperature of 65°c and an emissivity of 0.85. if the rate of heat loss from the pipe surface is 0.95 kw per meter of length, the external convective heat transfer coefficient (h) is: (a) 12.5 w/m"k (b) 18.6 w/mk (c) 23.7 w/mk (d) 27.9 w/mk (e) 33.5 w/mk

What is the correct way to measure the overall length of a boat? measure from the tip of the bow to the highest point on the gunwale. measure from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern of the boat. measure from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the back seat. measure from port to starboard at the boat's widest point.

Plot schematically the tensile stress versus strain curves for a typical thermoplastic material at a temperature below its glass transition temperature (tg and at a temperature above its tg, respectively. do the same for a typical thermosetting material. list in a table any differences or similarities between the two materials at t> tg and t < tg, respectively, and relate them to the structures of the two types of polymers
