What are the difference between static degrees of freedom and dynamic degrees of freedom?
Mass and damping are associated with the motion of a dynamic system. Degrees-of-freedom with mass or damping are often called dynamic degrees-of-freedom; degrees-of-freedom with stiffness are called static degrees-of-freedom. It is possible (and often desirable) in models of complex systems to have fewer dynamic degrees-of-freedom than static degrees-of-freedom.
Average height of living room ceiling?
The average height of a living room ceiling is 8' or 9'. People often add a tray in the ceiling to make the ceiling height in that area 1' higher. The average of course depends on the budget of the home. A more expensive luxurious house will obviously have higher ceilings.

How does symmetry make things more stable?
Symmetry can make things more stable by having a balance of mass and structure.
For example:
If an upper floor that is square in plan is supported symmetrically by four columns, one at each corner, it will be stable. If it is supported by three columns at three of the four corners, the columns and floor will all need to be stronger to resist the extra load that the asymmetrical design puts on the structure.
If an upper floor is supported by a single column at the centre of the floor, the structural design will be balanced. If the column is positioned off-centre, the column and floor will again need to be stronger to resist the extra load that the asymmetrical design puts on the structure.
In an earthquake, symmetry make the reistance to earthquake forces easier by reducing the unbalancing effect of torsional or twisting forces.
A Moment Connection in structural design is a connection joint between a beam and a column where the end of the beam is restrained from rotating, thus creating a rigid frame without the use of conventional cross-bracing. Standard, or "pinned" connections are usually bolted and/or welded through the beam web and allow the beam to "rotate" in the "Y" direction when the beam is loaded. A moment connection freezes, or locks up the top and bottom flanges of the beam, thus making it "rigid".
What buildings and other locations are shaped like numbers on Google Earth?
