Thanks, I tried that, however it didn't work out that well. if D = X /cos (t) and D = sin(2t)*(R/sin(t)) then the same relation X = 2Rcos(t)^2 pops out. just like the other ones. I can't get t (Theta) to 'drop out'

Hi Guys, This is my second post relating to my problem, But I've boiled it down to more simple trig. sadly, I still can't figure it out. See the sketch below; what I want to obtain is x as a function of R. the angle in red, θ is the same for the two corners. What is known: 1) two...

thanks, I'm looking into it. So far, it's looking t be more of a trigonometry problem. But a tricky one..

Hey Guys, I'm stuck with this problem, we want to compare the curve of a beam to it's horziontal deflection, it's for an experiment we're performing on a very elastic beam. In the attachment you see a flexibel beam getting deflected by a force, this causes displacement x. We don't know (or...
