Hello everyone, I need to work out the flexural modulus (Ef) of a test specimen that is subjected to a 3-point bend test. I know that: Ef = L3m/4bd3. I have: Support Span(L)= 0.1m width(b)= 0.01m depth(d) = 0.01m Max normal stress σf= 98.1 MPa Strain (εf) = 0.0525 Max force (applied...

Hi y'alllll! Need some guidance on a little issue, As you very well know, european standards (ecss) exist for space systems but they are generally outlined for launch vehicles. Do specific standards exist for payload fairings? For example a test sequence is outlined for general space...

For when there is a negative test charge: The work done to get from infinity to r would be negative, corresponding to a decrease in potential energy so since dr must be a path element and therefore in the negative direction (towards the source of the E field) does that mean the...

When considering tempered distributions, I am only aware of the definition of test functions of a real variable. However, is it okay to use test functions of a complex variable z that are analytic in a strip that includes the real axis? (of course they still must fall off fast enough as the...

Homework Statement Ok, so in a lab I was preforming Izod impact tests on notched polymer specimens. To complete my calculations I need to determine the correct cross-sectional area to use (Which is baffling me as the simple things usually do) The sample was loaded with the notch facing...

I need help deciding which AP Physics test to take. Currently, I am a junior taking AP Physics BC, which my teacher claims is between AP Physics B and C. It looks like all we will learn this year is mechanics, maybe touch on electricity. Our teacher isn’t giving us any AP test questions or...

Homework Statement Determine if the following series is divergent or convergent: ## ∑_1^∞ \frac {(2)(4)(6)...(2n)}{n!} ## 2. The attempt at a solution I understand this can be simplified to: ## ∑_1^∞ \frac {(2^n)(n!)}{n!} ## This can easily be seen to be divergent. But when I...

How does one derive the second derivative test for three variables? It's clear that D(a,b) = fxx * fyy - (fxy)^2 AND fxx(a,b) Tells us almost all we need to know about local maxima and local minima for a function of 2 variables x and y, but how do I make sense of the second directional...

Hello guys, I was searching for what voltage does IEC standard call for Di electric test that should be done to low voltage panels? is it 2.5 KV for 1 minutes? If yes how how low voltage cable rated 600/1000 V can withstand 2.5KV without insulation failure?

Hello, I was trying to interpret the formula of Pearson's Chi-squared test: \chi^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{(O_i - E_i)^2}{E_i} I thought that if we assume that each O_i is an observation of the random variable X_i, then the above formula essentially considers the sum-of-squares of n...

So Thursday we had our first big test in class. I had managed to ace everything in the homework leading up to the test. I got cocky, and then I ended up bombing the test. I rushed through the test and completed it in about half the time I should have. The teacher offers a review with each...

This is technically a "homework" type question so I just need a bit of help. I'm just learning maple and writing a very basic procedure. I'm testing primality exhaustively by using the mod function. (Yes, maple has a built in procedure for this, but this is just an exercise). ISPRIME...
