I registered for Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Design I, and Vibrations in Mechanical design. I'm not sure if this is going to be too rough or not. Vibrations is an elective and I think it is important. Another option would be FEA. I'm in thermodynamics now and I enjoy it. I'm...

Now I am lost. HA! Thanks for the opinions. I think the objective is showing them why I want to be there. It's not for money like many students, but to develop my career instead.

Right now my objective is: Hands-on Mechanical Engineering student with demonstrated communication skills seeking an internship to gain experience in the field, and further develop as a mechanical engineer. Should I make this into a complete sentence? I see many objectives that aren't a...

This is why I love physics forums.

But what if the disc is constrained, like 500lbs on top of it?

That makes sense. I was thinking that when i stared at it for a minuet today. Thanks

ΔL/Li=3αΔT Then something

I have an aluminum disc that is 15in in diameter and about 1in thick. I am going to put it in a 400°F oven and I need to know how much the diameter will expand. One of the engineers I work with(i'm an intern) is using what I found to be the linear expansion equation (ΔL/Li=αΔT)...so Length...

Using F=kx 0.65N=k(.18) k=3.61 ω=√3.61/.065=7.45 TSny... I think I see what you're saying. x would equal 18 at t=0. so 18cm = Acos(δ) ? Also, how do you quote two people in one reply?

I was thinking I could use hooke's law to find k. Tsny... I guess I'm just confused at finding phase changes.

Homework Statement A particle with a mass of 65 g is moving with simple harmonic motion. At time t = 0, the particle is at its extreme positive displacement of 18.0 cm. The period of the motion is 0.600 s. Find the vecocity of the particle at t = 1.35 s Homework Equations (1). ω=2∏/T...

0. [20-30] 1. No 2. 1 3. Yes 4. No 5. yes for 1 pilot No for 0 pilot

I got the internship! Any advice would still be appreciated! : )

brilliant! That's definitely good to remember. Thank you. I was thinking the hand pushing would act as a load force.

Homework Statement The forearm weighs 20.0 N and has a center of gravity in the position shown in the diagram. The person is pushing DOWN on the weight scale shown in the picture. If the reading on the scale is 70 N, calculate the tension, M, in the triceps muscle. I understand how this...
