    Civil Engineering Personal Projects

    Yes it is a requirement the presenter even said they wouldn't even consider applicants without a personal project. I like the shed idea but unfortunately I live in a small apartment so this would be impossible, maybe this summer when I go home that would work. I'll check out your other ideas...

    Civil Engineering Personal Projects

    Hello! So here is the deal. I went to a meeting on Industrial Experience job placement for engineering students where it's kind of like a co-op, they help you find internships in your field for summer work. Anyways I know there is no way I can get in this year because one of the...

    Constant Velocity (Finding when 2 objects will intersect)

    Its a simple set of linear equations. Figure out 2 equations, 1)The distance Jimmy is from the origin 2) The distance Jenny is from the origin. Equate and you'll get your answer.

    Angular Momentum of a shop sign

    Wow thank you very much! I see now how the other guys got the moment of inertia and I think I have it figured out. Will post once I get my marks back to see if I got it right. Thank you once again!

    Angular Momentum of a shop sign

    Ok so solving for v I got 2.98m/s and since v=rw I got w=5.96. Thats the answer to A and I know to find b I apply the conservation of angular momentum. But for the life of me I can't figure out I for the sign or the snowball. Looking at that list I can't find any that fit the scenario with only...

    Angular Momentum of a shop sign

    Ok so I guess I'm confused as to how I find the angular momentum of the snowball before the collision if I'm not given a position vector. Unless the position vector is x=0 y=50cm? Also how do I find the angular momentum of the sign without the rotational velocity (which is what I'm trying to...

    Angular Momentum of a shop sign

    Hello and thanks for the reply! Yes I did mean conservation of mechanical energy, my bad. I was applying it to the first question though (angular speed of the sign immediately before impact) so the snowball doesn't have anything to do with that I think?

    Angular Momentum of a shop sign

    Homework Statement Hi guys! I'm having trouble with this Problem. A thin uniform rectangular sign hangs vertically above the door of a shop. The sign is hinged to a stationary horizontal rod along its top edge. The mass of the sign is 2.40kg and its vertical dimension is 50.0cm. The sign is...
