### Understanding Floor Load DistributionIn structural engineering, it's crucial to calculate the floor load distributed to various columns in a building to ensure stability and safety. The given problem addresses a specific scenario:"A floor has a load of 150 psf distributed to columns spaced at 24 ft in one direction and 40 ft in the other. Find the floor load on an EXTERIOR CORNER column."#### Problem Breakdown:1. **Floor Load (psf)**: - The floor has a load of 150 pounds per square foot (psf). This unit measures the pressure applied over a unit area. 2. **Column Spacing (ft)**: - Columns are spaced 24 feet apart in one direction and 40 feet apart in the other. This gives us the area each column supports. 3. **Exterior Corner Column**: - Specifically, we need to find the load on the exterior corner column, which typically supports less area compared to interior columns.#### Calculation Steps:1. **Determine the Area Supported by the Column**: - The total area supported by each column can be calculated using: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Spacing}_1 \times \text{Spacing}_2 \] - For the given problem: \[ \text{Area} = 24 \, \text{ft} \times 40 \, \text{ft} = 960 \, \text{sq ft} \]2. **Calculate the Total Load**: - Convert the area to the total load by multiplying with the uniform load: \[ \text{Total Load} = \text{Load per Unit Area} \times \text{Area} \] - Given: \[ \text{Total Load} = 150 \, \text{psf} \times 960 \, \text{sq ft} = 144,000 \, \text{pounds} \]3. **Adjust for an Exterior Corner Column**: - An exterior corner column typically supports a quarter of the area an interior column does because it’s at the two edges of the building. - Therefore, we divide the total load by 4: \[ \text{Load on Exterior Corner Column} = \frac{144,000 \, \text{pounds}}{4} = 36,000 \, \text{p
