    Angular Momentum Problem formula

    Hi alphaphysicist I tried the Sum of all moments = change in angular momentum formula, it took me a while to figure out how to work with the cross products but I got the answer in the end, thanks :wink:

    How Do You Calculate the Force Needed to Move a Block Up an Inclined Surface?

    Hi, I am working on this question its part of a larger question about dynamic viscosity in thermofluids but its the basic mechanics of friction I forget how to do Homework Statement A block weighing 150N is to be moved at constant velocity 0.8m/s up an inclined surface with a friction...

    How Can I Determine the Velocity of Points C and F in a 4-Bar Linkage System?

    Thanks a lot, the thing I was getting confused with most was the 'bent link' BCD but since all points on it travel with the same angular velocity the simplification BD worked Cheers :approve:

    How Can I Determine the Velocity of Points C and F in a 4-Bar Linkage System?

    Hi all, (see the attached images) working on a dynamics project about the suspension system in a bike, we have been given a 4 bar linkage - dynamic system, and I am trying to find the velocity of POINT C and POINT F, but given in terms of the angular velocity of bar AB in the STATIC...
