D = 2,500 lb/ft (excluding self weight) L = 2,500 lb/ft 12 ft-

Obtain the values of vapor pressures of alcohol, water, and glycerin at a room temperature of 20 C.

Bourdon-type pressure gauges are used in thousands of applications. A deadweight tester is a device that is used to calibrate pressure gauges. Investigate the operation of a deadweight pressure tester. Write a brief report to discuss your findings.

A column in a building is subjected to the following load effects: 9 kips compression from dead load 5 kips compression from roof live load 6 kips compression from snow 7 kips compression from 3 inches of rain accumulated on the roof 8 kips compression from wind a. If lead and resistance factor design is used, determine the factored load (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? b. What is the required design strength of the Column? c. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor of 0.90? d. If allowable strength design is used, determine the required load capacity (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which AISC load combination controls? e. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor of 1.67?

A structural member with a rectangular cross section as shown in the accompanying figure is used to support a load of 2500 N. What type of material do you recommend be used to carry the load safely? Base your calculations on the yield strength and a factor of safety of 2.0.

For the fin equation described in Problem 6.25, if the units of T, h, P, A, and x are expressed in degree Rankine (R), Btu/hr ft2R, ft, ft2, and ft, respectively, what is the appropriate unit for thermal conductivity k if the fin equation is to be homogeneous in units? Show all steps of your work.
