The system shown is supported by a pin at A and a roller at E. It is composed of three straight members AC, BE, CD as well as the pulley at C that holds the freely hanging weight. If the vertical reaction at point E is 32 kN (upward), determine the compressive force developed in member CD.

The resultant moment about point A from the three forces shown is clockwise 80 kN-m. Furthermore, the resultant force is {13i -10j} kN. When replacing the system of forces shown with an equivalent single force, where would the equivalent force intersect the beam as measured along the beam from point A? You may neglect the thickness of the beam.

Determine the location of the equivalent resultant force measured along the beam from point A if x = 10 ft.

Short Answer: Identify one example of an intergovernmental organization:

The origin is on the left of the beam and the support reactions are By = 7 kip acting up and Dy = 4 kip acting up. What is the behavior (shape) of the moment diagram for the region 6 < x < 8 ft?

Choose one of the following topics and respond to the prompt about it in 7-10 sentences with proper grammar and English mechanics. Define globalization and identify 2 positive and negative impacts it has had on our lives today.   Discuss why some argue that non-state actors are becoming stronger than governments. First define non-state actor and then give 2 reasons why they argue that they are becoming stronger and 2 reason why they may not actually be becoming stronger.  

Upload a single PDF in which you are required to scan a page for each problem below. 1. Please draw a column braced along its strong axis. 2. Please draw a beam fully supported along its compressive flange.  

Jewel Accounting applies overhead to client accounts based on direct labor hours. For the month of October, the company estimated overhead costs to be $8,000 based on estimated direct labor hours of 1,000. The company actually incurred 800 direct labor hours and $7,400 of overhead. If Jewel uses a normal costing system, how much overhead was applied in October?

Vurmour Inc. has been allocating Manufacturing Overhead (MOH) costs to products using a single plant-wide rate of $15.00 per Direct Labor (DL) hour. Based on the increased activity, the accountants are suggesting a transition to Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and has provided the following details regarding the budget and the requirements for a recent job (Job A).  Activity Budgeted Cost Budgeted Quantity of Cost Driver JOB A  Actual Usage Materials Handling $48500 5800 labor hour 362 labor hours Set-up 125600 9500 production runs 34 production runs Quality Inspections 35000 11600 inspections 17 inspections Total $209100 Assuming that Vurmour makes the switch to ABC, what are the total MOH costs allocated to JOB A?   

Meijer Inc. has provided the following information about its budgeted Manufacturing Overhead (MOH) costs. It also reported Direct Labor (DL) of $130000 and Direct Materials (DM) of $91000. It has broken the MOH costs into three activities: Activity Budgeted Cost Budgeted Quantity of Cost Driver Utilities $31060 29060 square feet Maintenance 48500 9500 maintenance hours Machining 125600 11600 machine hours Total $205160 What is Meijer’s plant-wide MOH rate if allocations are based on machine hours?
