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...
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...
