Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing a partially-enclosed building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 115 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the MWFRS design wind pressure, p, on Zone 1 using the negative value of GCpi for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the design earthquake spectral response acceleration parameter at short period, SDS, using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IVSite Class BSS = 1.25, S1 = 0.75

Determine the velocity pressure, qh.

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing a partially-enclosed building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 5 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 135 mph. Assume that exposure category D is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the MWFRS design wind pressure, p, on Zone 4 using the negative value of GCpi for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.30 psi and p2 = 1.15 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 16 in., L2 = 8 in., and h = 12 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V1 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.70 psi and p2 = 1.20 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 16 in., L2 = 8 in., and h = 12 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V1 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

A simple staining method stains: A. Only Gram positive bacteria B. Only Gram negative bacteria C. Both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria D. Only rod shaped bacteria

Simple stains that are commonly used are basic and they stain the cell membrane of the bacteria.    

An object moves with constant acceleration along the +x-axis. The velocity versus time graph is shown in the figure. t1=[t1] s, v1=[v1] m/s, and v2=[v2] m/s. If the position of the object is x = 0 at t = 0, determine the position of the object at t = t1 (in meters).  

The figure shows the x-y positions of a ball thrown at an initial velocity of [v0] m/s at an angle of 45o above the horizontal. If x3 = [x3] m, what is y2 in meters?
