Good stuff. Thank you!

Great, thanks! So once i do that i just put 2) into 1) and that should give me the drag force, right?

Hi everyone, I'm completely new to the aero engineering and have a question regarding drag. The lecturer explained it briefly, threw some formulae at us and now I'm confused trying to make sense of it all. So, i have these two formulae relating to drag: 1) D = 0.5(rho)(V^2)(A)(Cd) and...

If you're not too sure, i'd pick mechanical. IT covers pretty much all the different areas of engineering and leaves you with widest career options. If you haven't done so yet, i'd look at specific modules for the courses at the universities you intend to apply to and see which ones are more...

Just a thought, not sure how well it would work, but if you got some metallic paint, sprayed it onto a dish and polished it to mirror shine it might have properties good enough for what you need. I think getting 100% would be pretty expensive and unfeasible for this purpose, but some less...

Hi and greetings from new member. A problem brought me to these forums and i am hoping someone will be able to explain what is going on here. I am working on this project, for which i need to design a truss/frame to support a load. So i came up with this design (diagram attached)...
