The Foundation for Physical Therapy has provided  money to help at least how many PTs with their research careers?

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 2,335 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 10 in., b = 13 in., c = 32 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A load of P = 225 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the vertical ground reaction at B. Let a = 31 in., b = 14 in., and c = 8 in.

A load of P = 455 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the normal force in bar (1). Let a = 32 in., b = 16 in., and c = 11 in.

Which Professional  Behavior is the ability to manage time and resources effectively to obtain the maximum possible benefit?

A steel rod with a 1.25-in. gage length and a 0.165-in. diameter is loaded in tension. At the proportional limit, a load of 1,100 lb elongates the gage length by 0.00216 in. and reduces the diameter by 0.000074 in. Determine the Poisson’s ratio.

A load of P = 175 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the normal force in bar (1). Let a = 32 in., b = 16 in., and c = 10 in.

A Great Value can weighs 1.13 lb and is 2.95 in. in diameter. A Libby’s can weighs 1.15 lb and is 2.90 in. in diameter. What is the largest bearing stress that occurs between the cans and the table? Assume each can has a smooth base and sits flat on the table.

Rigid beam ABC supports two rods that initially have no strain. If a temperature increase in rod (1) creates a normal strain of 3,337 μin./in. in it, determine the normal strain in rod (2). The initial lengths are a = 9 in., b = 14 in., c = 36 in., and d = 8 in. Assume there is no slack in the connections.

A load of P = 435 lb is applied to beam ABC. Determine the vertical ground reaction at B. Let a = 28 in., b = 12 in., and c = 8 in.
