Create a program named PaintingDemo that instantiates an array of eight Room objects and demonstrates the Room methods. The Room constructor requires parameters for length, width, and height fields (all of type int); use a variety of values when constructing the objects. The Room class also contains the following fields: Area - The wall area of the Room (as an int) Gallons - The number of gallons of paint needed to paint the room (as an int)

A horizontal rigid bar ABC is pinned at end A and supported by two cables at points B and C. A vertical load P 5 10 kN acts at end C of the bar. The two cables are made of steel with a modulus elasticity E 5 200 GPa and have the same cross-sectional area. Calculate the minimum cross-sectional area of each cable if the yield stress of the cable is 400 MPa and the factor of safety is 2.0. Consider load P only; ignore the weight of bar ABC and the cables.

Suppose you were a heating engineer and you wished to consider a house as a dynamic system. Without a heater, the average temperature in the house would clearly vary over a 24-h period. What might you consider for inputs, outputs, and state variables for a simple dynamic model? How would you expand your model so that it would predict temperatures in several rooms of the house? How does the installation of a thermostatically controlled heater change your model?
