Atwo story school has interior columns that are spaced 15 ft
apartin two perpendicular directions. if the loading on the flat
roof isestimated to be 20 lb/ft^2 determine the reduced live
loadsupported by a typical interior column at (a) the ground
floorlevel, and (b) the second floor level.

Asolid cylinder is concentric with a straight pipe. the cylinder is 0.5 m long and has an outside diameter of 8 cm. the pipe has an inside diameter of 8.5 cm. the annulus between the cylinder ad the pipe contains stationary oil. the oil has a specific gravity of 0.92 and a kinematic viscosity of 5.57 x 10-4 m2/s. most nearly, what is the force needed to move the cylinder along the pipe at a constant velocity of 1 m/s?

Asteam is contained in a rigid tank with a volume of 1 m3. initially, the pressure and temperature are 7 bar and 500 oc, respectively. the temperature drops due to cooling process. determine: (1) the temperature at which condensation begins in °c, (2) the fraction of the total mass that has condensed when the pressure decreased to 0.5 bar. (3) the volume in m3 occupied by saturated liquid at the final state?

Aspherical thermocouple measurement errors a spherical thermocouple made of constantin transfer coefficient between the gas and the thermocouple is h used to measure the temperature of a gas. the heat 400 w/m2 k. calculate the maximum diameter d of the thermocouple if the thermocouple's measurement error should be w 23 within 5% of the initial temperature difference in 5 seconds. for constantin, k 8920 kg/m3, and c 410 j/kg. k.
