An elevated floor has dimensions of 40 feet by 20 feet. Wooden joists (southern pine) span the 20-foot length and are spaced at 5 feet on center. A steel (E=29,000 ksi and allowable stress of 50 ksi) wide-flange girder spans the 40-foot length. The floor (DL) is 6” thick concrete with a 100 psf live load. Design both the timber joist and steel girder using a max l/360 for the deflection limit. Disregard safety factors and self weight of the beams. Pay close attention to units. You may use software to assist but all work must be shown. Beams are loaded in the strong direction.

A facility has a waste storage tank with a capacity of 40 cubic feet. Each week the tank produces either 0, 10, 20, or 30 cubic feet of waste with respective probabilities of 0.1, 0.4, 0.3, and 0.2. If the amount of waste produced in a week creates a situation where the tank would overflow, the amount exceeding the tank’s capacity can be removed at a cost of $3 per cubic foot. At the end of each week, a contracted...

The average Japanese car has between 20-40% Japanese content. This is because a significant number of the Japanese cars marketed in the US were also produced at plants in the US. How does reducing the amount of Japanese content affect the foreign exchange rate exposure of the Japanese car makers? How does it affect the operating exposure of GM to movements in the yen/dollar exchange rate? Explain.
