Solving Tds Equation: Unit Conversion for KJ/Kg
how about posting your attempt so that we can see your approach. More than likely you made a mistake since all units should be homogeneous.- djeitnstine

How Do I Know the Following Equations is Dimensionally Correct?
Appears to be dealing with harmonics. Notably spring harmonics. If so 'y' would be vertical or horizontal displacement.- djeitnstine

Undergrad No Equation for Integral of e^-x^2: What Would Happen?
This is wrong. There are more functions that have no analytical anti derivative than there are that do.- djeitnstine

Engineering Question regarding introductory circuit analysis
Hi again Mohdoo, reading your first set of equations, it seems you have used the exact opposite convention as I have stated in post 2. Again, The convention these books use for labeling is that you label your resistors in such a way that current flows counter clock wise. However, you use KVL in...- djeitnstine

Aerospace Engineering(Structures) question
It is not unheard of, of people going this route. Although I fail to see why you would want your masters would be in aerospace - this is very specialized. You should probably stay within ME and go into the aerospace industry and see what its like first. Because an AE is just a specialized ME.- djeitnstine

Some basic theory about drag coefficients of spheres.
#1 Think about the pattern of Kármán vortex streets and the forces that would be created on a low density sphere. #3 Think about how lift is generated.- djeitnstine

Engineering Question regarding introductory circuit analysis
That's the thing, that statement and his equations imply mesh current analysis which needs KVL. What he does is imagine a single current in one branch and applies KVL to each component in a single loop and write the voltage of that component in terms of the branch current. Hence the use of I1...- djeitnstine

Engineering Question regarding introductory circuit analysis
If you are doing branch currents, or mesh analysis, You're using KVL to solve the system not KCL. The most common mistake most students make is use the wrong convention. You need perform KVL in a clockwise fashion (it helps to label your mesh currents accordingly). Moreover, you label the...- djeitnstine

Find the deflection of the following points
The forces used in the second and third terms of your equation for \delta_B are wrong. You have to take a cut at each point, draw a free body diagram and sum the forces for equilibrium- djeitnstine

Engineering Can KVL and a Differential Equation Solve Current in a Circuit?
Use KVL and solve the differential equation. Either that or look it up. Since this is the homework forum I can't just give you the answer... We also need to see an attempt, if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you probably shouldn't be asking that question here.- djeitnstine
