Theory
Archimedes principle is the leading factor behind the theory for this experiment. This principle states and explains two things. The first is that volume of an irregularly shaped object can be found by recording the volume of a container of water, submerging the object into the container of water, and recording the new volume, and then minus both. Archimedes principle also says that when you put any object into water and submerge it, there is a buoyant force acting on the object that is equal to its weight. The Archimedes principle can be represented by, F

w
f
=

. The variables associated with the equation can be detailed as F
B
is for Buoyant force, w
f
is the weight of the fluid that was displaced, ρ
f
for density of the fluid that was displacing the object in, V
f
for the volume of the fluid being displaced, and g
for acceleration due to gravity. For the Buoyancy aspect of the principle, if the weight of the object is greater than the buoyant force then the object will sink. If the object's weight is less than the buoyant force, then it will float. Hydrostatic pressure is a common task for civil engineers. This is a force that will linearly increase the more depth that you have. For this set of experiments, you are looking to determine the thrust due to the fluid on a submerged plane. The machine used for this experiment uses water to measure how much force it will take to rotate a plate and weights can be added to the other side to produce a larger force. Apparatus

-Volume of water (mL) -Mass of asphalt, wood, and concrete (g) -Volume of asphalt, wood, and concrete (m^3)
-Buoyant force acting on asphalt, wood, and concrete (N)

-Water weight per unit volume
Procedure
Part 1: Displacement volumes and weight
1.
Take the water temperature measurement. 2.
Begin by filling a graduated cylinder with water and noting the initial volume level. 3.
Weigh the first object.
4.
Submerge the first object in the water and record the updated volume level. Remove the object
and record the volume of water displaced. 5.
Repeat this process three times for each object, resulting in nine measurements.
Part 2: Center of pressure 1.
Measure the temperature of the water.

2. Capillary tubes can be used in conjunction with a finger stick to draw small amounts of blood
from a finger for medical testing. A hemoglobin test that you are using requires at least 10 mm³
of blood. Will a glass tube with a radius of 0.5mm be able to collect enough blood for this
hemoglobin test? Assume the capillary tube is held perfectly vertically above the finger during
collection and that surface tension is the only force drawing blood into the tube (i.e., ignore any
potential pressure differences between the finger and the tube). You may assume blood has the
following properties:
Density: 1060 kg/m³
Specific Weight: 10400 N/m³
Specific Gravity: 1.06
Coefficient of surface tension: 0.05 N/m
Viscosity: 0.005 N-s/m²
Contact angle with clean glass: 0°

Fixed/built-in or encastré beams are usually used in structure due to their high stability and performance in
resisting shear stress and bending moment. Your role in building and construction company is to analyse the
shear force and bending moment in order to provide better design of such beams under variety of loads. Your
manager asked you to provide a complete analysis as well as to deliver a report including your design
recommendations.

Your tasks are as follows:
1- Construct free-body diagram (FBD) to show the reaction forces and moments, equivalent force of the
distribution load., knowing that the upward reaction force on left side is 250 kN and the reaction moment
is clockwise with a value of 1500 kN. m.
2- Determine the required region of sections (i.e., sections' cutting) and show the assumed internal shear force
and bending moment on each cut in the beam.

If an arm is subjected to a bending moment, we can use Equation (1) to calculate
(bending stress, bending amount, bend radius of the bar, modulus of elasticity of
the bar material). By knowing the magnitude of the effective moment (M) and the
moment of inertia of the rod section (I), and in the given case in the experiment.
the radius of the rod curve (R) can be calculated with an acceptable approximation…
