How can Christians ‘change’ the world? This is a question that is frequently asked in the modern world. Reflecting on the witness of Anabaptism as well as Ulrich Zwingli and Martin Luther, write an essay on how Christians should interact with the world that they inhabit. Should Christians seek to be ‘magistrates’ or ‘Caesar/President’ to force and/or legislate change in the world?  Should Christians seek to be separated from the world? How can Christians be separate from the world (i.e., different from the world), but also effectively engage the world to bring about transformation?  Write an essay that engages the Scriptures and the Christian tradition (in particular, the different voices of the Reformation) in making a clear argument for how Christians can be both a faithful and effective witness to Christ and His Kingdom in the World. (Give specific examples and back up your arguments)

I am a teacher and need help creating exam problems. Please recommend more incorrect answers to the following problem but do not explain your logic. At a point subjected to plane stress on the surface of a compressed air cylinder, the stresses are σx = –50 MPa, σy = –80 MPa, and τxy = 60 MPa. Determine shear stress τnt at the point for a counterclockwise coordinate rotation of 11°.

I am a teacher and need help creating exam problems. Please recommend more incorrect answers to the following problem but do not explain your logic. A silicone rubber [E = 5.20 MPa, G = 1.80 MPa] wristband has an initial length of 99 mm and a width of 13 mm. If the wearer imparts a normal stress of 500 kPa in the length direction while putting it on, what is the corresponding change in width?
