- THIS IS NOT A GRADED QUESTIONarrow_forwardThe load required to degrade the structural integrity of a foundation is normally distributed with amean of 22 tons and a standard deviation of 5 tons.(a) While at the site, a fellow engineer asks you the approximate probability that it takes between 17and 27 tons to degrade the foundation. Being knowledgeable in statistics, what you are able totell him off the top of your head?(b) Verify that your estimate in (a) is accurate using R.(c) A similar foundation is to be constructed so that the load required to degrade its integrity is againnormally distributed with a standard deviation of 5 tons, but the improved foundation is requiredto only have a 20% chance to degrade under a 22 ton load or less.

Determine: A. probability that two earthquakes with magnitude greater than six happen in 30 years.arrow_forwardFor the beam shown, the magnitude of the concentrated load is P = 28 kN, the magnitude of the couple is Mg = 200 kN-m, and the beam lengths are a = 4.8 m and b= 14.4 m. (a) derive equations for the shear force V and the bending moment M for any location in the beam. Place the origin at point. A. (b) use the derived functions to plot the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam. Use your diagrams to determine the magnitudes of the maximum shear force and the maximum bending moment. Note that answers may be positive or negative. Here, "maximum" refers to the largest magnitude value, but you should enter your shear force and bending moment with the correct sign, using the sign convention presented in Section 7.2 of the textbook. If the magnitudes of the largest positive and largest negative values are the same, enter a positive number.
