Ohh, so use the area that it covers to calculate the shear stress? And P for the force? Thank you very much by the way!

I'm assuming there's some adhesive force acting on the rods, as well as P?? But I'm not sure...

How does that affect the problem? Is it as simple as {shear stress} = 500 lb / (pi/4 * (3/4)^2) ?

Problem statement: Two 3/4-in.-diameter nylon rods are spliced together by gluing a 2-in. section of plastic pipe over the rod ends, as shown in the figure. If a tensile force of P = 500 lb is applied to the spliced nylon rod, what is the average shear stress in the glue going between the pipe...

Thank you all!

What is the pH when 200 mL 0.1 M NaOH is mixed with 300 mL water? I am stuck here. I know V1C1 = V2C2 but I need help at this point. I don't know how NaOH reacts with water, and how this would affect the pH of the final solution. I also don't know whether or not I should use the...

How to increment a MATLAB "for" loop by an arbitrary value? I am creating a Matlab program that calculates corresponding temperatures for Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, and Rankine scales. I want to write my code so that it can handle an arbitrary temperature increment (a user-inputted value)...

What do you mean?

Problem: Write the equations as a set of two, second-order ordinary differential equations. My attempt…does it look correct? Thanks in advance!

What forces are acting on the hoist system, and where are they acting on it? The only ones I can think of are tension (from the string) and weight (of the hoist and of the man). http://tinypic.com/r/w6tx0j/5 Thanks in advance!

Picture of the system (it's sideways): http://tinypic.com/r/28qq4pi/5 Consider the mass from the spring in the figure. Let m=1, k=1, and g=9.81. Assume that x and y are zero when the 2 springs are unstretched. Assume the system starts from rest with the first spring extended by an amount...
