A sign is subjected to a wind loading that exerts horizontal forces of 300 lb on joints B and C of one of the side supporting trusses. Determine the force in members BC, CD, DB, and DE of the truss and state whether the members are in tension or compression.

An uncharged nonconductive hollow sphere of radius 18.0 cm surrounds a 12.0 µc charge located at the origin of a cartesian coordinate system. a drill with a radius of 1.00 mm is aligned along the z axis, and a hole is drilled in the sphere. calculate the electric flux through the hole.

Molten iron fills a mould, which has a volume of 200 cm cubed. calculate the volume when the iron cools and solidifies. molten iron has a density of 7.0g/cm cubed. in its solid state, iron has a density of 8.0g/cm cubed.

The desk has a weight of 75 lb and a center of gravity at g. determine the initial acceleration of a desk when the man applies enough force f to overcome the static friction at a and b. also, find the vertical reactions on each of the two legs at a and at b. the coefficients of static and kinetic friction at a and b are ms = 0.5 and mk = 0.2, respectively
