I have done that, and ended up with p = -1.5qL - rL^2, that hasnt help and i don't know how to proceed.

L,p,q,r are constants F(x) = p + qx + rx^2 F(L) = 0 F(0) = (1.5/L) * Integral(F(x), from 0 to L) show, F(x) = F(0) *(1-(x/L)^2) I, have made several attempts, and I am not sure what to do. I have determined p = -qL - rL^2 and p = -1.5qL - rL^2 how do i proceed? -cheers

If appropriate, could a moderator move this post to the academic and career guidance forum.

I have heard some universities offer a Computer Systems Engineering degree. I would like some info on what computer systems engineers do. I've googled it but I see most american universities offer computer science and engineering. Where do computer systems engineers work? What do they do? Is...

That question of a robotics class is interesting. As a electronics and electrical engineer, do you think one would be able to handle the industrial automation and robotics. Considering that the major question in robotics is the sensing and programming, wouldn't a computer science or EE have a...

But can someone hopeless at drawing, manage and excel in technical drawing and mechanical design?

I have a question for all the mechanical engineers here. Did you find the design class easy the first time you took it? Were your drawing skills great, before you started your degree or were they developed during it? I am a first year engineering student. I wanted to do a mechatronics degree...

I am greatly interested in programming. Took to it like a fish to water. I am greatly interested in machines(humanoid machines, autonomous vehicles etc.). However, I find mechanical design quite tough. The technical drawing class is like a demo of hell. What should I do? How important is...

Hi I am a freshman college student, in a school of engineering. I have an interest in robotics. I would like advice regarding, which engineering, would be the best choice. For a future in robotics, which would be better mechatronics or computer systems engineering? The main topics in...

Isnt the escape velocity at a pt equal to root 2 times the velocity at that pt.

Plz help I am confused.

When the object has escaped from orbit to infinity, the energy at infinity is Ei. Since the energy at each pt in the orbit is constant Eo. The work to be done to remove the object from orbit to infinity is constant Eo -Ei. There for the energy applied by the rocket booster to escape from orbit...

well i think the answer should be appogee. Is this right or is this wrong?

In order to escape, an object must have at least as much kinetic energy as the increase of potential energy required to move to infinite height. As the increase in PE is less from the Appogee to infinite height compared to the increase in PE from the perigee to infinite height. Therefore less...

To break orbit, the speed(tangential) must be greater than the escape velocity. Since at the perigee, there is greater KE compared to the PE, less engergy would be required to raise the speed to the escape velocity. Does this make sense? Wouldnt the escape velocity at the perigee be greater...
