The magnification is less than 1 what does it mean

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. bars ab and ef are made of aluminum and bar cd is made of steel. if each bar has a cross-sectional area of 450 mm2, determine the maximum value of p if the allowable stress is (σallow)st = 200 mpa for the steel and ( σallow)al = 150 mpa for the aluminum. est = 200 gpa and eal = 70 gpa.

Acoyote chasing a rabbit is moving 8.00 m/s due east at one moment and 8.80 m/s due south 4.25 s later. let the x axis point due east and the y axis point due north. find the direction of the coyote's average acceleration during that time.

Panel bc in fig. p2.76 is semi-circular, with the 3 meter radius and horizontal straight edge through point b. compute (a) the hydrostatic force of the water on the panel, (b) its center of pressure, and (c) the moment of this force about point b. assume atmospheric pressure on the dry side of the panel
