The coupling rod is subjected to a force of 5 kip. determine the distance d between c and e accounting for the compression of the spring and the deformation of the bolts. when no load is applied the spring is unstretched and d = 10 in. the material is a-36 steel and each bolt has a diameter of 0.25 in. the plates at a, b, and c are rigid and the spring has a stiffness of k = 12 kip/in.

  plan: i will begin with a quotation about the importance of unity in a community. then, i will state my claim that an activity will unite our school by creating a shared vision, purpose, and direction. in the body, i will use three main points that describe the different avenues the students can take: through a variety of clubs, through a special event, or through an awareness week. i will provide evidence about other towns that have unity activities and the kinds of events that they include. pictures will illustrate my three main points in action. for the ending, i will restate the main idea in a new way and pose a question to keep the audience thinking. 

i will try let me see what they are first

recent brain research has shown some surprising benefits as a result of formal musical training. learning to play a musical instrument appears to develop parts of the brain that can even influence academic results. the studies indicate that the earlier a child begins training, the more benefits there are. one such study showed that children who began musical studies before the age of seven had a more developed brain in the region where language production and auditory processing take place. scientists believe there is mounting evidence to show that early musical training can improve brain function.

c. there are many strengths
