There are many places to find practice problems that will help you with the FE exam. NCEES (the people who are responsible for making the exam) has practice problems. I would recommend picking up the “FE Supplied-Reference Handbook.” This is the book of equations and charts that is issued to you...

Well did you make it to the exam?

This is an engineering question. Mainly pertaining to a design and build engineering project. (Fictional construction project)

A contractor furnished a performance bond having a face value of $100,000 and a payment bond of $100,000. The contract price was a lump sum of $1,000,000. The contractor had completed 60 percent of the work and had been paid $540,000 by the owner. Then the contractor defaulted, leaving unpaid...

Grad school would be nice, however I feel like I need a break from school. I'm excited to start working. Maybe it will be a good alternative after I get a taste of the realworld. Thank you all for the congrats.

Not sure if this belongs here, and it probably doesn’t. I just wanted to let all you folks at Physics Forums that I recently found out that I passed the April 2009 FE exam (on my first try). I am a Senior Civil Engineering student at New Mexico State University. Also I would like to thank...

Homework Statement For the equalibrium: 2NOCl(g)<-->2NO(g)+Cl2(g), delta G=+77.1kJ Determine in which direction the equilibrium will shift by the following changes. A) Ar(g) is added to the reaction Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution My first thought is that...

Homework Statement Let f(x,y,z)=e^sqrt(z-5x^2-5y^2), find the domain and range of this function Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution ok i know how to get the domain of the function: you can't take the sqrt of a negative number you set up the inequality z-5x^2-5y^2>= 0...

moment problem please help Homework Statement a small boat hangs from two davits one of which is shown in the figure. the tension in line ABAD is 369 N. Determine the moent about C of the resultant force Ra exerted on the davit at A Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution ok...

Homework Statement a 2.9 lb force P is appplied to the lever which controls the auger of a snowblower. determine the value of alpha knowing that the moment of P about A is counterclockwise and has a magnitude of 17 lb*in Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i thought i...

nvm i figured it i need to use midpt formula ty anyway

Homework Statement find an equation of a sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (2,1,4)and (4,3,10) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution it should be in the form of (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2+(z-l)^2=r^2 i think i found the radius by: r= sqrt((4-2)^2+(3-1)^2+(10-4)^2) r=...

ok i see what i did wrong. thank you very much

Homework Statement The equation represents a sphere. 16x^2+16y^2+16z^2-96x+32y=5 Find its center, and radius Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i found the center by completing the square: 16[(x^2-6x+9)+(y^2+2y+1)+(z^2)]=5+9+1 16[(x-3)^2 +(y+1)^2...
