I understand that things are more complex than my analogy (my analogy was really targeted at non-scientific readers), but I would still hold that it is fundamentally consistent with understanding/visualizing how this thermal system works from a macro level. The fact that you point out that the...
A friend just happened to randomly ask me essentially this same question this morning after coming back from an early morning run.
[For simplification of course, I am ignoring all cases that involve the effects of wind/weather fronts, rain, cloud cover etc. and focusing on your "ideal" no wind...
Hello
I feel like I am overlooking some fundamentals when I am trying to solve/set up the equations to solve the following pin jointed problem. The only load on the system is at L. I ultimately need to solve all the reactions on the pins at A, B and the link at P (though I believe what is...
An egg shell is not the type of structure or made of a material that progressively/gradually gets weakened with every impact.
Being a brittle structure, once an impact threshold is exceeded, the integrity of the structure is as good as compromised and catastrophic failure soon follows (if not...
Homework Statement
This is not actually a homework problem but a design evaluation problem I have encountered.
I am trying to solve for all the loads at the pins and have used WorkingModel to try and give me some quick answers. However, the solutions offered by the software do not make...

Experiencing an impact force every bounce is definitely not going to be a problem, as long as it can survive the first impact and bounces back on the trampoline with each subsequent oscillation! If the egg is going to crack on impact with anything, it will be when it first hits the absorbing...
Surface tension of the fluid would be enough to probably crack the egg. The egg would crack on impact at the speed it would have dropped from 18ft. The more viscous the fluid, the "harder" the initial impact.
I would consider using a dense cotton wool layer perhaps suspended on a stretched latex type of "trampoline". The egg cotton wool will absorb some KE, so will the latex, but the egg my bounce back up some height and back down on the trampoline for a few cycles until all the KE is eventually...
