For the truss given, what is the force in members AB, AC, and AD, given F = 20 N ? Be sure to indicate whether each is in tension or compression. [All members are pinned together. A is a pin and B is a roller.] FAB is the force in member AB. FAC is the force in member AC. FAD is the force in member AD. (T) designates tension and (C) designates compression.

We’ve studied several types of relationships between organisms.  Competition occurs when members of different species try to use a resource (like light, space, or food) that is in limited supply.  If the resource is available in abundance – that is, there is enough for all, then there is no competition. Predation occurs when one living organism (predator) feeds on another living organism (prey).  Parasitism is similar to predation in that the organism called the parasite obtains nourishment from an organism called the host.  Parasites however don’t necessarily kill the host.  The host also provides the parasite with a place to live and reproduce, and often serve as a mechanism for dispersing offspring to new hosts.  Select Competition if the statement best describes a competitive relationship, Predation if it best describes predator-prey relationship, and Parasite if it best describes parasite-host relationship. [answer1]  1.

Balanus and Chthamalus barnacles both grow on rocks in the cold ocean water of northern California in the area between high and low tide. If an area of rock surface is cleared of all barnacles, larvae of both Chthamalus and Balanus will settle and successfully grow.  However, at lower depths, Balanus will smother, undercut, or crush Chthamalus over time, essentially excluding it from that area.
