A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 350 lb/ft. For simplicity, assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it, and that the building has no windows or doors. Let L = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 375 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the roof diaphragm unit shear? Let L = 24 ft, a = 20 ft, b = 4 ft, be = 10 ft, and bi = 3 ft.

Problem 1 (60 pts) A novel media for stem cell culture is being developed. To study its flow characteristics (important during mixing in a bioreactor), experiments are performed using the set-up below. The liquid undergoes laminar flow between two flat plates both from the application of a constant pressure gradient
