A W21x62 steel beam with unbraced length of 14 ft, the maximum factored moment that this beam can support is:

An electric kettle is made out of stainless steel, weighs two pounds (when empty) and is equipped with a heating element that consumes 2 kw of electricity. assuming that the water and the kettle are at the same uniform temperature at any moment of time, calculate the shortest possible time to bring 2 quarts of water from room temperature to the onset of boiling

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2

What is the correct way to measure the overall length of a boat? measure from the tip of the bow to the highest point on the gunwale. measure from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the stern of the boat. measure from the tip of the bow in a straight line to the back seat. measure from port to starboard at the boat's widest point.
