Rod OA rotates counterclockwise with a constant angular velocity of = 5 rad/s. The double collar B is pin connected together such that one collar slides over the rotating rod and the other slides over the horizontal curved rod, of which the shape is described by the equation r = 1.5(2 - cos θ) ft. If both collars weigh 0.75 lb, determine the normal force which the curved rod exerts on one collar at the instant θ = 120o. Neglect friction.

A post-tensioned concrete beam, 170 mm wide and 320 mm deep, is prestressed five wires of 8 mm diameter located at constant eccentricity of 50 mm and carrying an initial stress of 840 N/mm. The span of the beam is 10 m. Calculate the percentage loss of stress in wires for The beam is pretensioned and The beam is post- tensioned. Using the following data: Es = 210 kN/mm2, Ec = 35 kN/mm, Creep coefficient = 1.6, %3D Relaxation of steel stress = 5 per cent of the initial stress, Slip at anchorage 1 mm, Frictional coefficient for wave effect = 0.0015 per m, Shrinkage of concrete =300x10 for pretensioning and 200x10° for post-tensioning

Design an isolated footing with one side limited to 7 ft for the following: 1 ft x 1 ft edge column, axial loads PD = 130 kip and PL = 155 kip, fc’ = 3,000 psi, fy = 60,000 psi, qa = 4 ksf

Design an isolated footing with one side limited to 7 ft for the following: 1 ft x 1 ft edge column, axial loads PD = 130 kip and PL = 155 kip, fc’ = 3,000 psi, fy = 60,000 psi, qa = 4 ksf, and a distance from top of backfill to bottom of footing is 4 ft. Assume the soil density is 100 pcf. For the column, fc’ = 5,000 psi. Sketch your design.

William F. May says, “[The Professional] had better be virtuous. Few may be in a position to discredit him. The knowledge explosion is also an ignorance explosion; if knowledge is power, then ignorance is powerlessness.”

 

1- William F. May says, “[The Professional] had better be virtuous. Few may be in a position to discredit him. The knowledge explosion is also an ignorance explosion; if knowledge is power, then ignorance is powerlessness.” Explain what May is saying here. Present an example of how this might apply to engineers.?

2- What is the method of line-drawing? An example will be useful in explaining this.?

What is technical communication, and what are some of the ways it can help people?

 

  1. What is technical communication, and what are some of the ways it can help people?
  2. What are some common types of technical documents? List at least five types the book mentions. Please also make up two specific examples of the kinds of technical communication that people may need to produce in the workplace (use specific professions in your examples, like engineer, computer programmer, nurse, dentist, etc).
  3. Describe some things that a writer can do to "focus on the reader" when writing and designing technical documents.
  4. Why is technical communication so often collaborative in nature?

1. Two large fixed parallel planes are 12mm apart. The space between the surfaces is
filled with oil viscosity 0.972 N.s/m2

. A flat thin plate 0.25m2

area moves through the

oil at a velocity of 0.3 m/s. Calculate the drag force:
i. When the plate is equidistant from both the planes, and
ii. When the thin plate is at a distance of 4 mm from one of the plane surfaces.

A cantilever, 2.6 m long, carryinga uniformly distributed load w along the entire length, is propped at its free end to the level of the fixed end. If the load on the prop is then 30 kN, calculate the value of w. Determine also the slope of the beam at the support. If any formula for deflection is used it must first be proved. E = 210GN/m2; I = 4 x 10-6m4.
