A load of 13 kN is applied through a pin connection and a square bearing plate to the end of a beam that has a rectangular cross section. The base of the beam’s cross section is 72 mm and the height is 160 mm. The size of the bearing plate is 92 mm. Determine the bearing stress between the plate and the beam.

Three rubber bands are shown before and after being stretched. Before stretching, bands A, B and C have lengths of 75 mm, 115 mm, and 150 mm, respectively. After stretching, band A has a length of 90 mm, while bands B and C each have a length of 180 mm. Determine the maximum normal strain in the bands.

Robert is an adult with autism who works at a plant workshop, taking care of the plants in the small nursery. Robert often struggles with staying on task for longer periods of time while at the workshop, so his behavior analyst wants to use a token system to increase the duration of Robert’s on-task behavior. The behavior analyst identifies certain items that Robert is likely to work to earn and places these items in the token store at the workshop. On some nights, Robert’s roommate at his group home stays awake late at night, making loud noises and deprives Robert of a good night’s sleep.  On the days that follow a bad night’s sleep, Robert is much less likely to stay on task at work, even if his most highly preferred items are in the token store. Which of the following is most likely an example of history effects in this scenario?
