This will depend on many things including:
- the spacing between the rafters;
- the spacing between the studs;
- the pitch of the roof;
- the wind zone;
- the type of fixings being used; and
- the span of the rafters.

How do you find out how much insulation you will need in your shop that is 8 feet 10 inches tall and 14 feet x 24 feet?
Unfortunately that is not enough information. Is it built with 2x4 walls? 2x6? 2x8? 16 inch on centers? 24 inch on centers? Is there an attic? Trusses, flat roof with 2x10 rafters? If there is an attic you will be well insulated if you use blown-in cellulose. You will need about 300 cubic feet of blown in cellulose for an attic. If it's 2x10 rafters you will need about 336 square feet of 2x10 insulation blankets that are the width of the space between your rafters. If it's 24 inch on center rafters, you will need 24 inch blankets. You will need about 660 square feet of insulation for the walls, less the area of the doors and windows. Again, if it's 24 inch on center 2x6 walls, get the appropriate insulation blankets.

What kind of framework is used to help support the construction of a sloped roof?
Most sloped roofs are supported by a purlin bracing system. A board the same size as or larger than that of the rafters is placed on edge perpendicular to the rafters and attached on the bottom side of the rafters. Legs are then placed under the purlin brace and with the top notched under the purlin and the bottom placed on and attached to the top of a wall, thus transferring the weight of the roof from the rafters to the top of the walls.

If there is 'nothing' in a vacuum chamber then why doesn't it collapse onto itself?
Assuming that outside the vacuum chamber there is some gas or liquid, then indeed there is a force that pushes on the walls to collapse. If it doesn't collapse, that means the walls are strong enough to withstand that force: weak walls would collapse.
