Abuilding in omaha, ne will be built with a floor area of 200 m^2. determine the net building load coefficient (nlc), vertically projected net south-facing solar glazing area (ap), and auxiliary heating (qaux) required by the rules of thumb method. find the solar storage mass required assuming brick with a specific heat capacity of 840 j/kg°c will be used. a reasonable ssf value for omaha is 45%. nlc/area values for passive designs range

When using the ohmmeter function of a digital multimeter, the leads are placed in what position relative to the component being tested? a. parallel b. control c. series d. line

Steel is coated with a thin layer of ceramic to protect against corrosion. what do you expect to happen to the coating when the temperature of the steel is increased significantly? explain.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
