The title is fairly misleading but is within the subject.
I have drawn up a beam of my own as part of my classwork because what bothers me is how you would find Young's Modulus [E] and the second moment of inertia [I] without being given them.
Every question I have looked at has given me...
I'm not electrical minded but I am wondering why my guitar pickup like most have the these rod shaped magnets.
Why are they that shape and why is it important?
I would like to make my own pickup to understand better how it functions and to see if I can achieve the attempt in making one...
Figured it out guys.
I wasn't using the calculus
Retardation is basically decceleration - therefore it's acceleration so the value would be negative.
Sorry not pi, sigma - that's my mistake appolagees
Basically Angular Acceleration (alpha) = d2sigma/dt^2
Which basically means that...
Homework Statement
I am required to use calculus to show that a flywheel has constant retardation
Prior to this I have found the initial angular velocity which is 60rad/s and the angular velocity after 2s which is 58.667rad/s
Homework Equations
pi=60t-(t^2)/3
dpi/dt = 60 - 2t/3...

I'm looking for an equation that i can use to work out the percentage saving in mass gained by using a hollow shaft rather than a solid shaft.
The question is simply that.
I've done research and found a dodgy equation that doesn't work for me, this is below, and I...
@EricAngle - appolagies haha.
@series111 - I've actually figured it all out now.
My method is wrong because above I do this: (w2-w1)^2
But the correct method is (w2^2-w1^2)
Therefore: 1/2 I (w2^2-w1^2).
But glad you replied. Cheers.
Again thankyou, I do appolagise i did read your advice previously about the units being spaced from the digits, i guess i was just rushing with my typing which is what i normally do.
I did manage to use some common sense since my previous post and yesterday did find a method very similar to...
Okay I've got everything planned out, i know where I've gone wrong, and its at the the start, my d value was wrong which meant it affected everything else.
All i finally ask for is help with transposing the following equation to make (d) the subject:
J = pi(D^4 - d^4) / 32 // d is to be...
This is wrong, from the handout I have the Angular Momentum = Iw(omega)
There is no division of 2. Wikipedia though helpful, isn't the best source of evidence to use because anyone can edit it.
Where did you get 3.918 kgm^2/s from calculating this:
48.98 kg * ( 0.4 m / 2 )^2 / 2...
nvn: Thankyou for your reply. If my dH value is wrong then, as i was regreting, my previous calculations were wrong.
Thanks for this, i'll re-do it all again and see what i get.
P.S. just to clarify - do i have the correct method?

Question
Assuming the torque and maximum shear stress values to be the same for both shafts, determine the size of a suitable soild shaft which could be used instead of the hollow shaft.

There aren't any required...
I have a sheet titled 'Tables of Properties'
On it are Universal Beams, Structural Tees and Gantry Girders.
Before this question i drew a simply supported beam with two UDL's, a SFD and a BMD, But that is irrelevant to this erm...
My maximum bending moment was 120kNm however on my BMD...

This is the question i am asked:
Determine a suitable size for the (gantry girder) beam selected from standard section tables.
Prior to that is some information:
The cross-section of the beam shows that of a Gantry Girder. The maximum bending stress in the girder...
