A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 10 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 20 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load consisting of its own weight plus 1.7 kips/ft and a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.1 kips/ft. The concrete is normal-weight concrete. Determine the moment due to the factored loads, Mu.      

A nurse is caring for a pregnant client with preeclampsia. During care, the birth person begins seizing. The nurse’s first action should be to:

At the end of a race, a runner decelerates from a velocity of 9.00 m/s at a rate of 2.00 m/s . How far does she travel in the next 5.00 s? 

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 4 No. 7 bars. The concrete strength is 7,900 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the tensile force T in the reinforcement.

A beam has dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 28 in., and d = 25.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 8,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. Assuming the reinforcement has yielded, determine the depth to the neutral axis, c.

Determine β1 given that f’c = 3,100 psi.

A ball is thrown straight up. It passes a 2.00-m-high window 7.50 m off the ground on its path up and takes 1.30 s to go past the window. What was the ball’s initial velocity?

A brave but inadequate rugby player is being pushed backward by an opposing player who is exerting a force of 800 N on him. The mass of the losing player plus equipment is 90.0 kg, and he is accelerating at 1.20 m/s^2 backward.  What is the force of friction between the losing player’s feet and the grass?
