    Finding the allowable uniform load

    O ok, so M would be equal to wL2/8+540w?

    Finding the allowable uniform load

    Thats supposed to be a 3ft from P to the edge, sorry my drawing skills are not great. I already did the M diagram that is where i came up the max of 575. I just don't know how to solve for the w.

    Finding the allowable uniform load

    [b]1. Determine the allowable uniform load w if the allowable bending stress is 24ksi and P=15w Given: I=12,800in^4; c=16.965in [b]2. I know that Mmax=\sigmamax/c(I); And Mmax=wL^{2}/8 [b]3. I solved for Mmax=18,107.869 k in; but I don't understand how to solve for w with the...

    Why Is My Calculation of Slit Width Using Light Diffraction Incorrect?

    [b]1. When blue light of wavelength 450 nm falls on a single slit, the first dark bands on either side of center are separated by 51.5°. Determine the width of the slit. [b]2. sin\theta=\lambda/w [b]3. w=450e-9/sin(51.5)=5.75x10-7 I tried this but it said it was wrong, if...

    Calculating Lens Position for Photographing Objects at Different Distances

    Ok so I know f is 70mm and do is the 13.2,3.2, and 1.9 and I am supposed to solve for di but I don't understand what the film plane of 120mm is for.

    Calculating Lens Position for Photographing Objects at Different Distances

    [b]1. A 70 mm focal-length lens is used to focus an image on the film of a camera. The maximum distance allowed between the lens and the film plane is 120 mm. How far ahead of the film should the lens be if the object to be photographed is at the following distance from the lens?When it is 13.2m...

    Why Does the Calculator Show an Error When Solving for the Angle of Incidence?

    I knew it would be something dumb, thanks for your help.

    Why Does the Calculator Show an Error When Solving for the Angle of Incidence?

    b]1. A light beam coming from an underwater spotlight exits the water at an angle of 68° to the vertical. At what angle of incidence did it hit the air-water interface from below the surface? [b]2. snell's law n1sin\Theta1=n2sin\Theta2 [b]3. sin\Theta1=1.33(sin68) After doing this...

    DC Circuits Homework: Calculating Power & Resistance

    what is Kirchoff's current law and voltage law? they're not in my book

    DC Circuits Homework: Calculating Power & Resistance

    2.5ohms is the total resistence? I thought that was just the resitence in the wire going from the battery and the wire going to the battery

    DC Circuits Homework: Calculating Power & Resistance

    [b]1. Eight lights are connected in parallel to a 119V source by two leads of total resistance 2.5 ohms. If 240mA flows through each bulb what is the resistance of each? What fraction of the total power is wasted in the leads? [b]2. V=IR, P=I^2(R) [b]3. V=.24(119)=495.83/8=62ohms...

    Solving Pin-Connected Truss Loads: Required Area Calculation

    yeah i know what a freebody diagram is i just don't understand what members i am looking for the tension and compression in? And if the force is just the two forces listed?

    Solving Pin-Connected Truss Loads: Required Area Calculation

    when you say truss member do i use the momentum to find it? And do the two rollers have x and y components or are they irrelivant?
