On August 15‚ 2007‚ my older brother‚ Lucas‚ suggested we go to the corncrib. I agreed and we walked across the farm to flip the lock and open the large white doors. I followed him inside‚ and hence there being no windows on the lower level‚ it took my eyes awhile to adjust to the darkness. I heard Luke’s voice somewhere to my left‚ and glanced over my shoulder to vaguely see him climbing up a ladder. Having never been inside the corncrib before‚ I blindly followed him. My eyes stung as they adjusted

Two events that have happened were within a year‚ and I will be writing about those events. The first event that I had realized that I was growing up was when my family decided that we were moving from Arizona back to Colorado. At the time of this event‚ I was only nine and a half years old‚ yet I was relieved and sad at the same time because I had just

What is the most defining moment that impacted your decision to become a nurse? As many of my peers might agree the decision process to pursue a nursing education was more of a journey than one bite spark of a single moment in time. Looking reflectively through this magnifying glass of time‚ I see many points of lights that lent clarity too my decision cutting’s stone moment.

‘Moments in our lives that define who we are’ When we are born we are defined by our surroundings‚ particularly family‚ our culture and religious beliefs. As children we get told what to eat‚ what to wear‚ how to behave etc. but as we get older we begin to have control over our own lives and these are the moments that define us as individuals. There have been many defining moments in my life but there are two that really sum me up. The first was when I qualified and represented South Africa

Objective The objective of this experiment is to compare the theoretical internal moment with the measured bending moment for a beam under various loads. Introduction and Background Theory Definition of a Beam Members that are slender and support loadings that are applied perpendicular to their longitudinal axis are called beams. Beams are important structural and mechanical elements in engineering. Beams are in general‚ long straight bars having a constant cross-sectional area‚ often classified

Introduction A bending moment is simply defined as “the algebraic sum of the moments of all the forces which induces bending of an element” (1). The aim of this assignment is to work out the bending moment in a simply supported beam when different concentrated loads are applied to it. A simply supported beam is a structure‚ usually with a straight profile supported at the ends‚ often pinned on one side and simply supported or on a roller on the other. There will be three series of loads applied
