The floor grid in Figure 1 is subject to a uniform pressure of SN/2 kPa. All dimensions are in meters. (a) Draw the tributary area of the interior beam X-Y, girder C3-D3 and column A1.
(b) Calculate and sketch the loading acting on each of the above elements.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to

Aperson touches a large chunk of ice with their hand and remarks, “this is making me cold.” explain what this person is feeling. is the ice transferring “cold” to the person? is there a heat transfer occurring? explain.

Determine the force the sun exerts on an object with a mass of 80.0 kg if that object is on the earth. what is the force exerted by the moon on the same object? what is the force the earth exerts on it?
