Classify each sentence as a tautology, contradictory sentence, or contingent sentence.

Which activity mainly depends on reaction time?

The maximum (design) shear stress for a rectangular beam is 50 percent larger than the average of the shear stress value along the depth of the beam.

An example of a primary sexual characteristic is ____________, whereas an example of a secondary sexual characteristic is ________________.

A W8 x 28 steel beam is loaded and supported as shown. Determine the maximum bending stress, and chose the right answer from the choices provided. The moment of inertia and the distance from the neutral axis to the extreme fiber are 98.0-in4 and 4.03-in, respectively. Note that all the values relevant to lengths given in the figure below are in feet. Picture10.jpg

Which of the following English phrases are logically equivalent to “P if and only if Q”? Select all that apply.

Determine the adequacy of a wood floor joist (2 x 10’s @ 16″ o.c.) supporting a dead load (DL) = 10 psf and live load (LL) = 40 psf. The length of each floor joist between supports is 14 feet. Assume that the allowable stresses for the Hem-Fir No. grade material are as follows: Fb = 1150 psi, Fv = 75 psi. The table of relevant properties is given below. To solve the problem, fill in the blanks of each solution step provide below. Where choices are provided, select the one closest to your calculated values. Solution Steps: A = [BLANK-1] in2 Sx = [BLANK-2] in3 Uniformly distributed load (UDL) on each floor joist = [BLANK-3] lb/ft length (chose your answer from these values: 33 or 67 or 100) Maximum shear force, Vmax = [BLANK-4] lb (chose your answer from these values: 469 or 700 or 234) Maximum bending moment, Mmax (note: pay attention to units) = [BLANK-5] ft-lb (chose your answer from these values: 3284 or 821 or 1624) Actual maximum shear stress, fv-max = [BLANK-6] psi (chose your answer from these values: 51 or 81 or 101) Is it adequate in shear? [BLANK-7] (yes or no) Actual maximum bending stress, fb-max = [BLANK-8] psi (chose your answer from these values: 1521 or 921 or 1221) Is it adequate in bending? [BLANK-9] (yes or no) Picture15.jpg

Beams are structural members designed to support [BLANK-1] (transverse or longitudinal) loads applied perpendicularly to their [BLANK-2] (transverse or longitudinal) axes.
