    Fluid mechanics: linear momentum Quick question

    Im confused with the sign convention... From my notes I have that for mass flow rate: Entering is -m and leaving is +m momentum : Entering (-m)(+v) and leaving is (+m)(-v) Example: for a rectangular control volume, let's say, left side is point 1 and right side is poinit 2...

    Need verification on a couple of solid mechanics exercises

    Like the tittle says.. I am practicing and wanted to make sufre I did it correctly. Forma this excersice the only doubt es en the las parte ( parte 5)... I am not sufre but i think I need to use .005 rather than .05

    3 point Flexure/bending test for ductile materials question

    I was looking up info on this topic and came up with this article (http://eng.sut.ac.th/metal/images/stories/pdf/Lab_7Bend_Eng.pdf)... what I don't get is why it says that bending test for ductile materials isn't good. "The stress is essentially zero at the neutral axis N-N. Stresses in...

    Fluid mechanics, bernulli equation: reference points

    Can anyone give me some advice on where I should take my points of reference when using bernulli equation. I know the point will vary according to the problem, but can one say, always begin looking for this and that and apply the equation... Then move to this and that, etc

    Permanent Offset (stress strain)

    ok, it is solved by interpolating but I don't know how to do that, to be more precise I have no clue how to interpolate

    Permanent Offset (stress strain)

    Sorry for the inverted picture... "y" axis: top to bottom is 500 400 250 "x" axis: at B is .00125 at E is .05 modulus elasticity is E=200GPa so from AB=.00125 from CD=.002 calculated: epsilon=400x10^6/200x10^9 I need to find permanent offset(AC) and I don't know How to find the...

    Why Do We Multiply Distance, Mass, and Gravity in Sum of Forces Calculations?

    why when calculating sum Mx=0 isn't (60)(.4)(.2)? isn't moment=force time the distance to where the moment is being taken?

    Why Do We Multiply Distance, Mass, and Gravity in Sum of Forces Calculations?

    ooohh... so if it said only 12 kg, then I would only use mg?

    Why Do We Multiply Distance, Mass, and Gravity in Sum of Forces Calculations?

    Ok, so the formula I know to find weight is W=mg. Why is it that when doing a sum of forces in z they multiply (distance)(mass)(gravity) and not simply sum the gravity force that is mg?
