A car traveling on a level horizontal road comes to a bridge during a stor and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to try leaping it with his car. The side of the road the car is on is 21.3 m above the river, while the opposite side is a mere 1.8 m above the river. The river itself is a raging torrent 61.0 m wide. PROVIDE ILLUSTRATIONS. a. How fast should the car be traveling at the time it leaves the road in order just to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side? b. What is the speed of the car just before it lands on the other side?

Given two buildings, both placed on level ground at elevation of 140 ft. Building number 1 has a footprint of 40 ft by 60 ft and has a total weight of 2400 kips. Building number 2 has a footprint of 30 ft by 30ft and a total weight of 1440 kips. Point A is midway between both buildings (a plan view of the buildings and point A are shown in the diagram). A pipeline is planned to be running in between the buildings intersecting point A as seen on the diagram. The top of the pipe is at an elevation of 130. What is the total induced stress from both buildings on top of the pipe at point A? image attached.
