How do you calculate the overturning moment for each story of the building in Excel. Suppose we have a 5 story building that is 50 feet tall and each floor is 10 foot high. The force on the 5th floor is 10 kips, on the 4th floor it's 8 kips, on the 3rd floor it's 6 kips, on the 2nd floor it's 4 kips and on the first floor it's 2 kips. Is there a routine you can use in Excel that will calculate this without much effort and what would it be. The fourth floor will have an overturning moment of 10*10=100; the third floor will have an overturning moment of 10*20+8*10=280; the second floor overturning moment is 10*30+8*20+6*10=520; the first floor's overturning moment is 10*40+8*30+6*20+4*10=800; the base overturning moment is 10*50+8*40+6*30+4*20+2*10=1100

• Why do metals initially exhibit only elastic deformation under low loads?

• What causes metal plastic deformation to begin at higher stress levels?

• What occurs in metals on the atomic level that causes plastic deformation at high stress?

A well-mixed sample (volume = 30 mL) of mixed liquor from an aeration tank of an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant was divided into two halves. The first half was filled in a 22.285 g crucible and placed in a drying oven at 105°C for 24 hours. The weight of the crucible and the residue after drying was 22.344 g. The crucible was then placed in a furnace at 550 °C for 30 minutes. After that the crucible with the ash weighed 22.310 g. The second half was filtered through a 0.151 g glass-fiber filter. After that the filter was placed in a drying oven at 105°C. The weight of dried filter with the residue was 0.196 g. The filter was then placed in a furnace at 550 °C for 30 minutes. After that the filter with the ash weighed 0.167 g.

what a spatial model is by using some examples of real-world entities and how they could be modeled in GIS (e.g. the city of Denver could be modeled as a vector point in a map of the US or as a vector polygon area in a map of Colorado). What are the limitations of the spatial data models with regard to your example?

Assume you have a coal fired plant that produces 300 MW. The plant is 30% efficient. There is 0.2 lbs. of sulfur produced per BTU. There is 5% residual ash created. Assume you live 4km downstream to the plant. Its is a cloudy summer night with wind of 2.5 m/s. The effective stack height is 100m

A national laboratory has stated that they are responsible for a ceramic machining program that intends “to provide measurement methods, data, and mechanistic information needed by industry to develop innovative cost-effective methods for machining advanced structural ceramics.” Grinding with diamond wheels is the most prevalent method of machining advanced ceramics. This machining is highly complex and depends on many interdependent factors. The major elements of a grinding system are the grinding wheel, the grinding fluid, the machine tool, and the workpiece. Each of these is associated with several parameters that can influence the grinding process: such as, the type and size of the diamond grit, the properties of the grinding fluid, method of delivery of the grinding fluid, and grinder characteristics (e.g., stiffness and vibration).

A specific experiment is proposed to characterize the effects of grinding parameters on the flexural strength of ceramic “A.” The investigators are particularly interested in the effects of grinding speed, wheel diamond grit size, and “down feed rate” on the ceramic strength.

1. What is the goal of the lab with respect to machining ceramics and state an objective for the specific experiment
2. Give an experimental plan. Which factors are varied and the number of levels. How you might determine the values for the levels for each factor? What are the advantages and disadvantages of this plan?
3. Three other variables not described anywhere in this problem description that may not be simple to control? For each variable, what might be done to avoid confounding the experiment due to these variables?
4. The need for replications that is specific to this type of experiment?
