    Book plots position & force on the same graph, still gets right answer

    In the picture you can see what I'm talking about. This is a simple problem to do if you can use moments, but alas my education system seems to have something against those. ##AB## is the uniform rod/ladder, G is its centre of mass, BE is the horizontal x axis, AD is the wall, BD is the smooth...

    Design of bolts - Influence of higher free length

    Hello all, In a recent discussion, I came across this question of influence of free length (or unthreaded length) in bolts in retaining the clamping force between the elements to be joined. Out of the two proposals in the attached pic., which one will keep the two plates clamped for a longer...

    Does the discharge coefficient of an injector depend on the fluid?

    The discharge coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the ideal discharge and can be measured experimentally. If one were to experimentally measure the discharge coefficient using water, would this value be constant for all incompressible fluids? What does the discharge coefficient...

    Finding the Equivalence Ratio of Combustion (Methane + Air)

    I'd like to do some experiments with flames at different Equivalence Ratios - but I'm confused as to how I can find the Equivalence Ratio for different conditions. Wiki-article So the stoichiometric balance for Methane + Air is CH4 + 2(O2 + 3.76N2) -> CO2 + 2H2O + 7.52N2 Referencing equations...

    Understanding Gas Dynamics in Piston-Crank Slider System

    I need help understanding what happens to the gas that is being worked by the piston, in the crank slider. My goal is to produce linear motion on an object up to a certain height and I'm wondering since the slider moves back during the rotation of the crank what happens to the object I'm trying...

    Classical mechanics -- Equations for simulating the motion of a body

    Hello forum, i want to make a samulation of a body. The body will be moved horisontal on y,x axis. I want on my simulation the body to change direction many times(for example i want to go for 10sec right and then left end right...). My question is does i need more than one differential equation...

    How many O-rings would a mechanical engineer use here?

    Hello everybody! Happy 2019! I'm trying to design a mechanical face seal for the part shown below, and I'm struggling with the number of o-rings I'm supposed to use. There are two cavities (rings) for two different fluids. The liquid dynamic pressure for both the internal and external fluids is...

    Automotive Calculation of the efficiency of an engine

    We know efficiency (η) = Woutput/Winput Now in any cycle, for instance, the Otto cycle, let the total work output be WO, total heat added be WH & the total work done on the gas to compress it be WC. Then, will efficiency be equal to (η) = (WO-WC)/WH ? Or will it be equal to (η) = WO/(WH+WC) ?
