A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 166.2 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 209.5 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.8434 in.

A high-altitude spherical weather balloon expands as it rises, due to the drop in atmospheric pressure. Suppose that the radius r increases at the rate of 0.02 inches per second and that r = 36 inches at time t = 0. Determine the equation that models the volume V of the balloon at time t, and find the volume when t = 360 seconds. (5 points)

A beam is singly reinforced with the reinforcement in two rows. The bottom row contains 9 No. 5 bars at a depth of 24 in. The top row contains 7 No. 5 bars at a depth of 18.5 in. Determine the effective (centroidal) depth, d, of the steel.
