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.

I know midterms are coming up, so here is a great way to end an exam. Choose answer A 🙂 

The most widely used form of energy for transmission is ___.

We must deal with more information as content creation tools get more sophisticated. What feature of content creation tools can help us manage this by toggling visibility, controlling rendering order, or color-coding certain aspects of our data?

Using the clock method to orient a wound to a person, what should be labeled for  Box A.  

A beam is part of the framing system for the floor of an office building. The floor is subjected to both dead loads and live loads. The maximum moment caused by the service dead load is 55 ft-kips, and the maximum moment for the service live load is 54 ft-kips (these moments occur at the same location on the beam and can therefore be combined). If ASD is used, determine the required moment strength, Ra.

If a node in a hierarchy is transformed, what happens to nodes underneath that node?
