thanks for the links and advice it was really helpful! I'm still having trouble deciding though =/

I'm still deciding between these two majors. I have some interests in chemistry but I don't want to stuck with mundane mixing chemicals in a lab all day. I like MAE because I prefer hands on work (but I might hate it when I'm older) and I like to build and fix things with my hands. I guess I...

Also for the reactions at A, according to my textbook, it looks like a triangle with a pin on it so I am assuming reactions at A would only have a vertical force (pointing up; normal) and also and force coming from the left, pushing right at point A.

Homework Statement The 400N weight of member AB acts at its midpoint. The length of member AB is 3m. Determine the tension in cable BC and the reactions at A. Homework Equations m=rxf? maybe simple force equations The Attempt at a Solution Not sure whether to use sum of all forces...

Homework Statement I'm having a bit of trouble when it comes to volume of revolutions and areas. I find it quite difficult when it comes to setting up the integral. I'm not sure when to use the shell or washer method. Could someone explain to me or give me a tutorial on how to set up the...
