I have a pipe that has an inlet (x-direction) and outlet (y-direction) with water flowing through it. I want to find net pressure force in x-direction (at the inlet) I have momentum flux and areas of the inlet and outlet. How can I find the net pressure force acting on the inlet? I don't...

Anyone knows?

I am planning to take FE Exam during my senior year. I was planning to take it during October so I can put it down on my resume, but I have heard they won't release the results to you until you graduate. Is that true?

That's sad. I think my recruiter lied to me in the first place. After he emailed me for interview I responded within couple of hours, but he never replied. How the hell he found someone so fast.

I recently applied to a job and 3 days later the recruiter scheduled me for phone interview. I emailed him same day to schedule one for next day, but he never replied. So, I emailed him again but he never replied back. And today he emailed me that they have found a candidate for the job...

Is it? All the big companies usually start looking for new graduates in the fall semester of their senior year. The point is you going to start applying for it sooner or later, so what's holding you back?

The teacher didn't give numerical value for a constant and he just annouced it in the beginning of the class ... we have big class and he never wrote it down on the board ... by the time I got to the last problem I ended up using the constant value he gave in the wrong section and lost points.

I just messed up my exam because I used the wrong value in wrong problem since teacher didnt had it on the test and just annouced it in the class instead of writing it on the board. This cost me 20 points and a letter grade. In the past, in some classes I have really screwed up the first...

If you are an engineer, forget about Ti-83. Unless you don't mind wasting exam time solving matrices, cross and dot products, solving bunch of equations by hand for your mechanics classes.

I use Ti-86. The screen and functions are simpler than Ti-89 and it does pretty much everything you can do with Ti-89. Not to forget it's cheaper. I have never encountered a problem that requires extreme processing power during my engineering exams. For those cases, try Matlab or Mathematica.

I never made this about republicans or democrats. I was talking about conservatives and liberals. Lincoln was republican who abolished slavery after the civil war and democrats made full use south's mistrust of liberal republicans for another 100 years or so. But anyways ... Liberal ideas are...

If we look at the history, it seems like liberals always win over hardcore conservatives. When I say conservative, I mean people who think national anthem got to be sung only in English, the ones who said slavery was just natural phenomenon etc ... Before the civil war, conservatives who...

Thanks Mech_Engineer. In the file attached how do I find the resultant force F(r). I seem to have forgotten the formula. And, is that the maximum force that water will exert on the walls of the pond? F (r) = 1/3 * height = 1/3 * 2.5 ft?

I am trying to figure out how much pressure will water exert on the walls of the pond. The circular pond has a radius of 10 ft and depth of 2.5 ft. Pressure = density (water) * depth Pressure = 62.4 lb/ft3 * 2.5 ft = 156 lb/ft2 or 1.083 psi That will give me the maximum pressure which...

Q. Does NASA hire foreign nationals? A. Because NASA is an agency of the government of the United States of America, employment with NASA is restricted to citizens of the United States of America. Also, although NASA does contract with private industry for services, generally these contracts are...
