We are putting up a very tall building, which weighs 200,000 tonnes. This weight is to be carried on 500 steel I-beams. We are using normal structural steel, with a yield strength of 300 N/mm?. Each beam has a cross-sectional area of 10,000 mm². Ignoring the possibility of other failure mechanisms, will these 500 steel columns carry the building's weight? 1 tonne = 10,000N

In housing construction, flooring is often supported by "joists", which are timber beams spanning the width of the room and simply supported at each end. Suppose a single joist is carrying the weight of three people (450lb450lb) at its center. If the lumber has an allowable stress of 100lb/sqin100lb/sqin, what is the maximum span (in feet) for a 2 by 6 joist? (In reality dimensional lumber such as 2-by-6's are actually smaller than the nominal dimensions, but ignore that for this problem.)
