Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding the tone of your response. Are you implying there are other locations?

I'm having trouble understanding the tone of your question. Are you saying there is another location?

Homework Statement A hollow pipe has an inner diameter of 80 mm and an outer diameter of 100 mm. If its end is tightened using a torque wrench using 80 N forces, determine the maximum and minimum shear stress in the material. Where are they located? Note: In the diagram of the picture, the...

Azizlwl - I'm not quite sure that I follow your meaning? We're determining the direction of the sailboat in terms of angle relative to the negative (east) x-axis. That is the directional component of the vector.

Halls of Ivy - Any idea why the method I employed wouldn't work? I've calculated my velocity components correctly, and that should provide the correct answer, in theory.

I appreicate that, but there is a first part of the question that asks for the velocity after 7.7 seconds, in which I used 40° as my angle of reference. I arrived at the correct answer for that. It also says "north of east," which I am sure means north of the negative x-axis (east). I believe...

Homework Statement A sailboat is traveling east at 5.1m/s . A sudden gust of wind gives the boat an acceleration = (0.80 m/s2}, 40° north of east). What is the boat's direction 6s later when the gust subsides?Homework Equations Vf = V0 + atThe Attempt at a Solution To solve I simply created X...
