    Hollow rod outer diameter for same bending strength as 7mm solid rod

    Still having some issues with how to compare the weight per unit length of the two rods. I'm given E=108x10^3MPa, weight density= 7.78x10^4N/m^3 for both rods, calculated I=117.85 for solid bar. Using the equation Ymax= cFl^3/EI where c=constant, l=1. So please advise on how to proceed here...

    Hollow rod outer diameter for same bending strength as 7mm solid rod

    Ok so this is what I have so far: for the soild bar find area A=1/4(pie)(dia)^2 -> =38.48mm^2 find moment I=Pie/64(D^4) -> = 117.85mm^4 Find stress stress=My/I where M=bending moment, y=neutral axis, I=moment -> =M(3.5)/117.85 -> stress=.0297(M) for this equation I don't know how to find M...

    Hollow rod outer diameter for same bending strength as 7mm solid rod

    Hello, Not sure how to go about solving this problem: What outer diameter must a 2mm thick hollow rod have in order to have the same structural bending strength as a solid rod with diameter of 7mm? Also compare the weight per unit length of the two rods. Assume that material is stainless...

    Find the forces and moments in a leg

    Thanks timthereaper for your response. So first off i turned the image so that the x and y orientations were correct. Then i tried to sum the forces at point O in the image. For the forces i looked at the individual compontes in the normal n and tangential t directions. These are the equations...

    Find the forces and moments in a leg

    Hello, I'm very confused with this problem and need some help and direction on how to write dynamic equations of motion. The problem is as follows: Write the dynamic equations of motion for muscle force Fm, hip force Fj in the normal direction n towards rotation center along the -r direction...
