    Modeling Deflection of Attached Plate in Sinusoidal Motion

    Hello everyone, Assume that you have a flat plate, that is moving up and down in a sinusoidal motion with the following equation: y = yo*sin(2*pi*f*t) where yo is the amplitude of the motion, f is the frequency and t is time. There is another smaller size plate attached to the edge...

    Uncertainty Analysis Homework: Vel Calc from Line of Best Fit

    Thank you, Does the following work out as well? V = f(y) therefore, u_v = √( (dv/dy * u_y)^2) where dv/dy = dv/dt * dt/dy y = Asin(2*pi*t*f + ø) t = (arcsin(y/A) - ø) / (2*pi*f) (then differentiate to get dt/dy) ? Also, if this DOES work. I will need to sum up dv/dt...

    Uncertainty Analysis Homework: Vel Calc from Line of Best Fit

    Yes I mean (dv/dt*u_t)^2. I do not have time uncertainty. The only thing I have is position (y) uncertainty. For this reason, I could not do the uncertainty analysis based on V=2 pi f A cos(...).

    Uncertainty Analysis Homework: Vel Calc from Line of Best Fit

    Homework Statement Hey everyone, I've data for some oscillatory motion. I used MATLAB to find line of best fit for the data. I got a line of the following form y = A*sin(2*pi*f*t + ø) I got the root mean square error between my data and the line of best fit (call it u_y) Now I want to...

    Pipe-Line Construction: Dimensional Analysis & Pipe Roughness

    I'm designing a pipe-line and need to choose a specific value for pipe roughness. I'm trying to do dimensional analysis to find the needed pi groups. That's what I did ε (roughness of the pipe) = fcn(V,D, ρ μ) V = Velocity D = Diameter ρ = density μ = viscosity Is...

    How Does Air Resistance Affect Falling Objects in MATLAB Simulations?

    Homework Statement An object of mass m falls from rest at a point near the Earth's surface. If the air resistance is proportional to the velocity v^2, the differential equation for the velocity as a function of time is given by m*dv/dt = mg - cv^2 For the given paraments g = 9.81 m/s^2. m...

    MATLAB Runga-Kutta help needed (Matlab)

    An object of mass m falls from rest at a point near the Earth's surface. If the air resistance is proportional to the velocity v^2, the differential equation for the velocity as a function of time is given by: m*dv/dt = mg - cv^2 a) Derive the exact solution done this part, and i got v...

    Relative Velocity of running towards a mirror

    my reflection in the mirror will move towards me wouldn't it?(will move towards the mirror from the other side if you know what I mean haha) i am not sure if it will move at the same speed (5m/sec) or if you run towards the mirror with the speed 5m/sec, your reflection runs towards the...
