Thanks for the reply!
Interesting suggestion, I did some research on shear-moment relationship online and it definitely seems viable at explaining the situation. I find it strange that they don't mention shear at all in the lab report/introduction, so I'm not sure if I'm meant to go about it...
np! (Don't quote me as I'm only a third year college student haha, but I do quite well on electrical papers)
That depends, just start from right to left as I outlined in my post previously. And reduce the circuit down resistor by resistor.
That resistor though, is in series with the 5...
From quick rough working.. I got 17.5 ohms for the total of the circuit.
So, starting from right to left... I got.
10 ohms in parallel with 20 ohms.
This gave me 6.666667 ohms in parallel with another 20 ohms
which gave me 5 ohms, which is in series with 20 ohms.
This gives 25 ohms, which...
Look at the circuit for what share the same start and end nodes and what don't. Those that do share the same start and end nodes add in parallel and those that don't add in series. So the 2 ten ohm resistors on the very right are in series, but that 20ohm resistor adds in parallel to the total...
Homework Statement
For the same lab as I posted previously, I have been asked to prove a situation. I think I'm either over thinking it or it really is that complicated.
I've been asked to prove why the bending moment is constant across an end loaded beam (inbetween the knife edges - the two...
