Chapter 7.4, Problem 5CC
In January 2008, Scientific American reported that physicists Peter Sutter and Eli Sutter of Brookhaven National Laboratories made a pipette to measure droplets in units of a zeptoliter [zl ]. Previously, the smallest unit of measure in a pipette was an attoliter [al]. Convert the measurement of 5 zeptoliters [zl] into units of picoliters [pl].

5: A 12-m simply supported bridge is constructed with 100-mm concrete slab deck supported by precastconcrete stringers spaced 800 mm on center. Analyze the stringers when subjected to a moving load consisting of 3 evenly spaced axle loads at 3 m and equivalent to 20 kN, 30 kN and 40 kN respectively. The self-weight of the stringers is 8.5 kN/m and the concrete deck has a unit weight of 24 kN/m3 . Neglect all other superimposed loads. Calculate: (a) the maximum shear force in the stringers; (b) the maximum bending moment in the stringers.
