Two pieces of high-density polyethylene [E = 0.85 GPa] tubing are bonded together and support load P = 197 N. Both tubes are 145 mm long. The outer tube has an outsider diameter of 23.0 mm and an inside diameter of 17.4 mm. The inner tube has an outside diameter of 17.4 mm and an inside diameter of 13.6 mm. Determine the load carried by the inner tube.

Rigid bar ABC is supported by pin-connected axial member (1) and by a pin connection at C as shown. A 6,300-lb concentrated load is applied to the rigid bar at A. Member (1) is a 3.25-in. wide by 1.50-in. thick rectangular bar made of steel with a yield strength of σY = 33.3 ksi. The pin at C has an ultimate shear strength of τult = 60 ksi. Determine the factor of safety in member (1) with respect to its yield strength.

In the years and decades after the Thirty Years’ War, the little country of _?_, won independence from Spanish rule, and went on to become a major commercial power throughout the world.

An axial member consisting of two polymer bars is supported at C as shown. Bar (1) has a cross-sectional area of 800 mm2 and an elastic modulus of 29 GPa. Bar (2) has a cross-sectional area of 1,620 mm2 and an elastic modulus of 15.4 GPa. Determine the deflection of point A relative to support C.

The pin-connected structure is subjected to a load P=238 N as shown. Inclined member (1) is connected to rigid member ABC. Determine the magnitude of the resultant force at pin A.

Fred called the student mental health clinic and requested an appointment with a therapist due to “feelings of depression, difficulty completing his schoolwork, and ongoing eating problems”. He told the intake worker that he has been experiencing the current problems for approximately one month. He stated that he has been having difficulty getting himself to classes, can’t concentrate on his homework, feels drained of energy, and wants to do nothing but sleep all day. Fred is noticeably thin, and tired looking. He is wearing a pair of baggy blue jeans, a long-sleeved shirt covered by a heavy sweatshirt, and heavy socks and sneakers, even though it is July. His hair is messy as though he forgot to brush it after getting up in the morning. You notice that he has very dark circles under his eyes, and: his face, including his forehead, appears bony. Fred states that he developed an eating problem 7 years ago at age 17 after graduating from high school as class valedictorian and gaining admittance into a prestigious university in Boston. Prior, to the “eating problem”, he weighed approximately 160 pounds and was 5’ 10”. After Fred moved away from home into the dorms, he began limiting his food intake to only vegetables and exercising, sometimes 4 hours a day. Initially, Fred lost about 20 pounds and found he couldn’t lose any more weight without further restricting his diet. He started eating very, small quantities of food, courting the number of bites he could have each day. At one point, he allowed himself only 4 bites of food per day. If he ate more than that, he would make himself exercise an extra hour. Fred reports that by spring break of his first year he weighed only 120 pounds. His ‘BMI was less than 16.   He refused to think he had a problem; rather, he just wanted to lose weight and be popular He felt that he had always been characterized by his peers as a bookworm, and he desperately wanted to “fit in” at college. He states that on one occasion he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance after fainting in class. He stayed at the hospital for a week due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. He begged his parents to finish the semester since it would “ruin my grade-point average” not to complete the classes. Later he lost weight again, and his weight has hovered around 115 pounds since that incident. ‘Fred states that he has been hospitalized on five different occasions over the past 7 years for dehydration, exhaustion, electrolyte imbalance, and starvation/emaciation. Currently, Fred. weighs 118 pounds and feels “heavy.” He considers his ideal weight to be 113 pounds. He suggests that he can “see fat” on his thighs and stomach when he weighs more than 113 pounds. Due to the 5-pound increase in ‘his weight, ‘Fred has recently begun to use. laxatives and occasionally induces vomiting, although he states that it hasn’t helped him lose weight.  He feels very anxious because ‘he thinks he has lost control of his eating, at times bingeing on ice cream and chocolate bars when he gets extremely hungry.

The Perfect Passive Participle You’ve really already met this participle already: its the part of the verb we use to form perfect passives (laudāta est, monitī sunt, āctum erit), but lacking the auxiliary verb. As an adjective, this can be applied to nouns in any part of the sentence, and so has a complete declension as a first and second declension adjective. Watch this video for a brief explanation of its formation:

Find the appropriate diagnosis for Quentin McCarthy and write it correctly, including any specifiers and severity. (Four points)write one treatment goal to ameliorate or resolve Quentin McCarthy ‘s symptoms (one point)Quentin McCarthy “I can get off it, but I can’t stay off it.” Quentin McCarthy was 43, and he was talking about alcohol. He liked to say that throughout his adult life, he had been successful at two things—drinking and selling insurance. Now, he was having trouble with both.   Quentin was the second of three sons born to parents who were both attorneys. Both of his brothers had been excellent students. Quentin was bright, but he had been hyperactive and the class clown. In school, he had never been able to focus his attention well enough to excel at anything but physical education. To please his parents, after high school, Quentin tried a semester of junior college. It was worse than high school-the only thing that kept him going was guilt. Whereas his older brother was admitted to law school (with honors at the entrance) and his younger brother mopped up the prizes at the state science fair, Quentin felt almost joyful when his birthday was that year’s number four pick in the national draft lottery. The following day, he enlisted in the Army.   Somewhere in his schooling, Quentin learned to type, so he was assigned to his battalion’s administrative section. Throughout four years in the military, he never fired his weapon in anger. By comparison with some of the older men, his drinking was moderate. Although he had about the usual number of fights, he managed to avoid serious trouble. When he left the service at age 22, he had held onto his sergeant’s stripes through two tours of duty in Vietnam. After that, life suddenly became serious.   Working part-time after hours in the post exchange, Quentin had discovered that he was a natural salesman. So it seemed a logical move to take a job selling life insurance. It also seemed sensible to marry the boss’s daughter. When his father-in-law died suddenly two years later, Quentin became sole proprietor of the agency. “The business made me and it ruined me,” he said. ”I made a lot of money having lunch with people and selling them large policies. I told myself that I had to drink with them in order to make a sale, but I suppose that was just rationalization.”   As time went on, Quentin’s two-martini lunches turned into four-martini lunches. By the time he was 31, he was skipping lunch completely and nipping throughout the afternoon to “keep a glow on.” At the end of the day, he was sometimes surprised to see how much had disappeared from the bottle he kept in his desk drawer.  The past year had brought Quentin two unpleasant surprises. The first came when his doctor informed him that the nagging pain just above his navel was an ulcer; for the sake of his health, he would have to stop drinking. The second, which in a way seemed worse because it injured his pride, occurred one afternoon over lunch. A long-time client of the agency apologetically said that he would be taking his substantial business elsewhere; his wife didn’t feel comfortable that he was “doing business with a lush.”  Thinking back, Quentin realized that there had been several other, less blatant instances of customers departing the fold. The result had been his resolve to quit, or at least to reduce the amount of his drinking. (“Quitting is easy,” he remarked ruefully. “I did it twice in one month.”) At first, he promised himself he would not drink before 5 p.m.; that proved impractical, and he later amended it to “around lunchtime.” With the level in his desk drawer bottle receding as fast as ever, Quentin decided he would try Alcoholics Anonymous. “That was worse than useless,” he explained. “The stories I heard from some of those people made me feel like a teetotaler.” A comment made by his wife, herself no stranger to alcohol, eventually brought him in for evaluation. “You used to drink to have a good time,” she told him. “Now you drink because you need it.”

A load of P = 565 lb is applied to beam ABC. Bar (1) is made of brass [E = 14,900 ksi] and has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.77 in. Determine the magnitude of the change in length of bar (1) due to the load. Let a = 39 in., b = 15 in., and c = 9 in.

An aluminum [E = 10,000 ksi] control rod with a circular cross section must not stretch more than 0.38 in. when the tension in the rod is 2,300 lb. If the diameter of the rod is 0.372 in., determine the maximum length of the rod.
