If the maximum force that any member can support is 8 kN in tension and 6 kN in compression, determine the maximum force P that can be supported at joint D.

Asmall blob of putty of mass m falls from the ceiling and lands on the outer rim of a turntable of radius r and moment of inertia i0 that is rotating freely with angular speed ω0 about its vertical fixed-symmetry axis. (use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.)

At an oceanside nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. this raises the temperature of the water that is discharged back into the ocean. the amount that the water temperature is raised has a uniform distribution over the interval from 10° to 25° c. what is the standard deviation of the temperature increase?

The force needed to overcome static friction is usually less than that needed to overcome kinetic friction. true or false?
