    Pspice power system on an aircraft

    I am working on modeling a power system on an aircraft right now, the problem is that I have loads that are constant power drawing no matter the voltage. They will draw 5kilowatts no matter 28 volts or 22 volts. My problem is modeling them. I can model them at one particular voltage but I want a...

    C/C++ How can I pass a 2D array in C++ without errors?

    1. The problem I am having is that I am trying to pass a two dimensional array from my main function to a secondary function. I know it has to be call by reference and using the name of the matrix, "matrix" in my case should send the location. Also since it has more than one dimension there...

    Comp Sci Efficient C++ Homework Help: Troubleshooting Infile Command Issues

    infile.clear(); does not seem to work, is there a library that I need to include to use it. Right now I am using cstdlib, iostream, and fstream.

    Comp Sci Efficient C++ Homework Help: Troubleshooting Infile Command Issues

    Homework Statement Well I have to read in data from a text file test some conditions on certain columns and count up the failures. I am having a problem with the infile command, I have tried using infile.close(); but it does not seem to reset it. while(infile>>y) { for(i;i<=(j/4);i++)...

    Calculus with the electric field

    The trick is to use sine to relate the small section of conductor(dx) to the distance from your point.

    How can I improve the efficiency of my Boomilever design?

    From what I have seen it probably needs some sort of vertcle bracing. My logic goes like this. If it is buckling it is either going up or down so you need to do something about those directions, verticle perpendicular bracing to the bottom truss would do this. But maybe to increase the efficency...

    Negative Efficiency: Is Human Motion Worth It?

    I think you are mixing up things here. The mechanical efficency cannot really be compared to the chemical efficency. The efficency of the pushups is more like energy to do pushups/total energy expended.

    In need of some advice regarding Science Olympiad boomilever

    Well I don't know I think the verticle ones are necesary just to distribute the stresses better. Perhaps if it is a static load like you imply you can remove some of the horizontal bracing. Or the diagnals could be changed to be perpendicular to the two parallel heavy weight pieces. This could...
