*Particular Sorry

The page its from is actually a question solution however they didn't explain how to solve that particle part. I did as you said earlier, however, the b^2-4ac section came out negative so I was unsure I was going in the right direction. Anyone able to advise? Regards

The overall question is on non steady fluid mechanics however the part on stuck on boils down to the two equations below, which I am unable to solve. X = 122.3 (2 - Y) Y= 0.18 * SQRT( 100 + X ) the text states the equations are satisfied by Y = 1.903 and X = 11.82. To prove this isn't a...

I have drawn a figure here to assist. Sorry about the grey scale. Note: the box at the end would be an alternator or similar.

Just to be aware this isn't homework this is a design concept and although calculations aren't required I'd like to assess a rough assessment of possible power generation figures. The concept is a weight which pushes down upon the rack hence turning a pinion on a shaft which has lots of of...

Sorry just to clarify when I said displacement I mean the transverse displacement (usual symbol is v).

Hi I am tackling a question which combines Beam deflection with Bending Virtual Load. I am wondering whether the displacement found at a point through complementary energy (virtual load) is the same an the deflection through beam integration at that same point? It maybe a stupid question but...

Okay thanks, I will research this today as I am unfamiliar with the concept. Thanks Steamking P.S can I message you with a related quire if I have one?

Hi I was hoping someone could clear something up for me, I've been set an virtual load (unit load method) question at University, that part of the question I can do however its the calculating the force on the members part that I am struggling with. The question asks for all the forces in the...
