___ is the formation of film on contact surfaces.

___ power is the actual power used in an electrical circuit.

Because the gram is small and difficult to work with, the kilogram is sometimes used as a unit of measure when performing weight measurements.

To convert a Fahrenheit temperature reading to Celsius, 32 is added to the Fahrenheit reading, and the sum is divided by 1.8.

The potential energy of a body equals the force times the distance it is raised.

GPUs have a special block of memory designed to store pixel data. What is this block of memory called?

A tensile test was performed on a specimen with a circular cross section. The diameter was measured to be 1.000 inch. Two marks were made along the length of the specimen and were measured to be 2.700 inches apart. This distance is defined as the gage length, and all length measurements were made between the two marks. The specimen was loaded to failure. Fracture occurred at a load of 30,000 pounds. The specimen was then reassembled, and the diameter and gage length were measured to be 0.616 inch and 2.992 inches. Determine the elongation as a percentage.

A tension member must be designed for a service dead load of 40 kips and a service live load of 2 kips. If ASD is used, what is the required nominal strength of the member for a safety factor Ω of 1.20?

___ is the most commonly used conductor.
