A fully braced structural member in a building is subjected to several different loads, including roof loads of D = 5 k and L_r
= 7 k; floor loads of D = 6 k and occupancy L = 15 k; S = 18 k; and W = 17 k and E = 12 k (resulting from overturning forces on the lateral-force-resisting system). Consider the ASD load combinations described in Sec. 2.17 and assume the wind and seismic loads act in the same direction as the gravity toads. Find: The critical ASD combination of loads.

Answer:
Resistor B
Explanation:
Since resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit,
first let assume the two resistors are connected in parallel to the voltage, recall that when connection is in parallel, the different amount of current pass through the resistors depending on the value with the small resistor having a lower resistance effect hence higher current will pass through
The energy dissipated in each resistor can be calculated as
.
from the formula we can conclude that the energy value will be higher for the resistor with small resistance value. hence more heating effect which will cause it to be warm.
Also when connected individually the current flow from the voltage source will pass through the resistor which when we calculate the energy dissipated, the resistor with smaller value will be higher because it will draw more current which will in turn lead to a heating effect and cause the resistor to be warm. Hence we can conclude that the resistance B has greatest resistance value.
