I think I have found two problems with the MERM PP edition 12 second printing. These arent in the errata on the PPI site.
Probelm 40.7: to find the heat loss for the 68F temp indoors they used the q/delta t using 70F. Shouldnt they have used 200000/68F instead of 200000/70F in the last part?
Problem 49.2: They used ymax for both forces, meaning both deflections were taken from the end. Shouldnt they have used the equation for yx which calced the deflection at the distances given then add the slope to each?
