A short column is loaded in compression. Segment (1) has a solid cross section with a diameter of 1.20 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.50 in. and a wall thickness of 0.15 in. If segment (2) has a normal stress of 19 ksi, determine the normal stress in segment (1).

A short column is loaded in compression. Segment (1) has a solid cross section with a diameter of 1.30 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.58 in. and a wall thickness of 0.14 in. If segment (2) has a normal stress of 14 ksi, determine the normal stress in segment (1).

A short column is loaded in compression. Segment (1) has a solid cross section with a diameter of 1.10 in. Segment (2) is hollow with an outside diameter of 1.38 in. and a wall thickness of 0.14 in. If segment (2) has a normal stress of 11 ksi, determine the normal stress in segment (1).

The rigid beam BC is supported by rods (1) and (2). For a uniformly distributed load of w = 2.5 kN/m, determine the force in rod (1). Assume a = 2.50 m and L = 3.65 m.

Three rubber bands are shown before and after being stretched. Before stretching, bands A, B and C have lengths of 80 mm, 105 mm, and 165 mm, respectively. After stretching, band A has a length of 90 mm, while bands B and C each have a length of 180 mm. Determine the maximum normal strain in the bands.

Which statement about scope of practice is true?

State true or false in the space provided.  Interstitial fluid is found in the extracellular compartment.

Rigid pipe (2) is supported by a pin connection at C and tie rod (1). The structure supports a load P = 13 kN at pin B. Assume x1 = 3.8 m, x2 = 1.1 m, and y1 = 4.2 m. Determine the force in tie rod (1).

A load of 14 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 92 mm and the height is 180 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 110 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.
