The expression for computing the effective interest rate $(i_{eff})$ using continuous compounding for a nominal interest rate of 5% is
$i_{eff} = \lim\limits_{m \to \infty} \left(1 + \frac{0.05}{m}\right)^m - 1$
The effective interest rate (in percentage) is ___________ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
Consider two matrices $A = \begin{bmatrix}2 & 1 & 4 \\ 1 & 0 & 3\end{bmatrix}$ and $B = \begin{bmatrix}-1 & 0 \\ 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$.
The determinant of the matrix $AB$ is __________ (in integer).
A 3 m long, horizontal, rigid, uniform beam PQ has negligible mass. The beam is subjected to a 3 kN concentrated vertically downward force at 1 m from P, as shown in the figure. The beam is resting on vertical linear springs at the ends P and Q. For the spring at the end P, the spring constant $K_P$ = 100 kN/m.
If the beam DOES NOT rotate under the application of the force and displaces only vertically, the value of the spring constant $K_Q$ (in kN/m) for the spring at the end Q is
