How would you go about designing a shaft with 2 bearings, 2 gears, and the shaft has various diameters (d1, d2, d3)? You know how much power needs to be transferred from one gear to another, the distance between both of the gears, the minimum allowed distance between gear and bearing centers...

I used to watch youtube videos for general physics and statics but I can't seem to find good help sources for dynamics. Does anybody know of a good youtube channel that has helpful videos for the dynamics course or any other websites that help make more sense of the class? If not, can...

Anybody? I'm not looking for an answer, just a clarification.

A tube can be inserted into the top of a pipe transporting liquids, providing the pressure is relatively low, so that the liquid fills the tube at height h. Determine the pressure in a water pipe if the water seeks a level at height h=4ft above the center of the pipe. I'm asking you guys if...

I'm in the field of Mechanical Engineering. I understand how statistics can apply to engineering but I'm just not quite sure what a professor of this class expects one to know for exams. I will be talking to him tomorrow so I'll see how helpful it will be.

I've been taking this course for 2 weeks now. I have no clue what is expected to be known from a course like this. I will be speaking with my professor after the next lecture. Can anybody who has taken this course give me some tips to understanding what I'm supposed to be getting out of this...
