    How Do You Calculate Tension and Compressive Forces in Engineering?

    hi your answer for the first part looks correct. I think there must be a typo in the original question. it says that AC is the wall AND the steel bar? I think it's safe to assume that it means BC is the steel bar. For the second part, I think you did it correctly: you used tensile...

    Stargate Atlantis/ pressure and fluids

    uh...gravity? What i was really getting at with the post though was asking about what the speed of a fluid would be through an opening that had a pressure difference across it.

    How Do You Calculate Tension and Compressive Forces in Engineering?

    Hi, I think I know how to do this. Have a look at the picture I've attached. First thing you have to realize is there are two forces supporting the 1500N- a tension force in the cable and a compression force force in the bar. The first thing you need to do is resolve the tension and...

    Stargate Atlantis/ pressure and fluids

    Hi, This isn't exactly a homework question, but it is about what I once did in class and about something I was thinking about while I was watching tv (hey I'm thinking about physics in my spare time!o:)). If you watch stargate atlantis, you'll know that they can create a gate in one place...
