Solid Mechanics, calculating reaction forces and M(X) for a cantilever thing
Homework Statement Homework Equations M = F * D The Attempt at a Solution For a, I need to find the reaction force on the right side. So what I first did was make the sum of the moment on the left equals zero. 0 = M_0 + r_y * L. r_y = \frac{-M_0}{L} I think this is right...- PenTrik

Engineering How do I solve for the voltage across a and b in this Thevenin circuit problem?
Thanks for the help. Yeah, it makes sense now. I was also making the mistake of assuming that the voltage drop across a current source was zero.- PenTrik

Engineering How do I solve for the voltage across a and b in this Thevenin circuit problem?
Homework Statement V1 = 15 V V2 = 4 V I = 2 A R1 = 3 Ohm R2 = 4 Ohm R3 = 8 Ohm R = 2 Ohm In this part of the question, I have to solve for the voltage across a and b R isn't listed as a resistor in this circuit because that comes in a later part of the question (which I can do).

How Is Displacement Current Calculated in a Parallel Plate Capacitor?
Homework Statement A sinusoidally-varying voltage V(t) = Vosinωt with amplitude Vo = 10 V and frequency of f = ω/(2π) = 100 Hz is impressed across the plates of a circular-shaped parallel plate air-gap capacitor of radius a = 1.0 cm and plate separation d= 0.01 mm. The amplitude of Maxwell's...- PenTrik

Calculating the moment of Interia
Ah uh, would my limit for dx be from 0 to b, and for dy to go from 0 to y=h(x/b)^2?- PenTrik

Calculating the moment of Interia
Homework Statement Prove that the moment of inertia of the same region about the x-axis, Ixx, is given by bh^3/21 where y = h(x/b)^2Homework Equations \int(y^2*dA)The Attempt at a Solution so I first figure that dA has to equal h(x/b)^2 * dx and that y has to equal h^2 * (x/b)^4 so when...- PenTrik

Having problems understanding nullspace
So for the first part, this would mean that my solution is basically whatever combination I can get out of the equations I have. So if I make a = 1 and d = 1, then my matrix becomes [[1,-2,1] [1,-2,1]] So is this a possible solution to the nullspace? as for part two: this means that...- PenTrik

Finding a Basis for Perpendicular Vectors in R4
I'm not sure if this is what I'm supposed to do but Given that I have the RREF form, that gives me x1 + x3 + x4 = 0 x2 - x3 - x4 = 0 Given that x1 and x2 are pivots, this gives me x1 = -x3 - x4 x2 = x3 + x4 So, if I substitute x3 and x4 with a and b, this makes my basis the span of...- PenTrik
