1.The bus B has a weight of 15,000 lb and is traveling to the right at 5ft/s. Meanwhile a 3,000 lb car A is traveling at 4ft/s to the left. If the vehicles crash head-on and become entagled, determine their common velocity just after the collision. Assume that the brakes are not applied during collision.

2.A steel column has a total unbraced height of 14 ft and carries an axial LRFD load of 950 kips. The column ends are fixed. Select an economical HSS 14x14 for this column.
