1.

Determine the approximate amount of paint needed to cover the surface of the water storage tank. Assume that a liter of paint covers 2.5 m2. Also, what is the total inside volume of the tank.

27.6 liters of paint, V = 52.6 m3
20.1 liters of paint, V = 50.3 m3
26.4 liters of paint, V = 56.5 m3
25.1 liters of paint, V = 55.0 m3

Determine the distance to the centroid axis of the beam's cross-sectional area. Neglect the size of the corner welds at A and B for the calculation.

= 75.2 mm
= 97.5 mm
= 85.9 mm
= 102.5 mm
