haruspex replied to the thread Engineering Graphical Four Bar Linkage question.It confirms that the position you measured the 134° from is purely illustrative. It is not relevant to the actual question. Just use... -
haruspex replied to the thread Engineering Graphical Four Bar Linkage question.What original position? Are you basing that on a diagram provided with the question? If so, I would think it is purely illustrative of...
-
haruspex replied to the thread Engineering Graphical Four Bar Linkage question.You must have written it for a reason. Where does it come from? What do you mean by a "pressure angle"?
-
haruspex replied to the thread Engineering Graphical Four Bar Linkage question.I don’t fully understand your diagram. It looks like you have superimposed three states in one picture: 1. Joint B is down to the left...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Bizarre. But you understand now that one should use - pounds mass for mass and pounds force for weight , - or kg for mass and Newtons...
-
haruspex replied to the thread Engineering Graphical Four Bar Linkage question.I find your diagram illegible. If I expand it at all it becomes very fuzzy.
-
haruspex replied to the thread Cornering on a Smooth Surface.Please post your answer - maybe it is right. In case it isn't, it will save time if you also post your working.
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.As I showed in post #23, changing to mass actually made it more complicated because when formulated as a mass equivalence Archimedes...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Weight is mass times gravity. I still worry that your post #8, where you imply that going metric involves switching from weight to...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.I definitely did not complain about your referring to mass instead of to weight. I merely pointed out that it is usually quoted in...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.No, I am saying that mass and weight are different entities, but in the context of a fixed acceleration that applies to all the masses...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.I don’t understand the connection between weight versus mass and the use of metric units. The two are independent. A weight is a force...
-
haruspex replied to the thread High School Buoyancy and gravity.Archimedes' principle is usually expressed in terms of force and weight, not mass, but since the weight of the vessel and weight of the...

haruspex replied to the thread High School Example of a model for a function.I would think it extremely unlikely.

haruspex replied to the thread If Heat Is Motion, Why Isn’t All Motion Heat?.I assume you mean to suggest they are infeasible sources of mechanical work. In scenarios 1 and 4, quite so: no work can be done. In...
