    Hydraulic car lift actuator force vs angle plot

    I tried 3 ways and I still don't get a good curve.

    Hydraulic car lift actuator force vs angle plot

    That's what I did. Rearrange the first equation A=sqrt(2^2+5^2-2(2)(5)cosθ) sinφ/5 = sinθ/A to isolate sin(phi) φ=arcsin[(5sin(θ)/A)] should there be a parenthesis between 5 and sin? plug that into F/W = cos(theta)/sin(phi) F/W = cosθ/sinφ Unless I'm typing it wrong in excel A2=5...

    Hydraulic car lift actuator force vs angle plot

    You mean just go directly with F/W = cos θ/sinφ and leave out this... Plug in θ and get A A^2=2^2+5^2-2(2)(5)cosθ Then I'll plug in both θ and A to get Phi. φ=arcsin[(5sin(θ)/A)] If so, where would I get phi from if I'm only starting with θ?

    Hydraulic car lift actuator force vs angle plot

    I'm suppose to plug all of this into excel and make a plot with a line curving with θ being between 5 ≤ θ ≤ 60 degrees. My idea was this: Plug in θ and get A A^2=2^2+5^2-2(2)(5)cosθ Then I'll plug in both θ and A to get Phi. φ=arcsin[(5sin(θ)/A)] Then I'll plug θ and φ F/W = cos θ/sinφ But...

    Hydraulic car lift actuator force vs angle plot

    My plot didn't come out correctly, so I know I did it wrong. Where did I go wrong or was I even close? 1. Homework Statement The hydraulic car lift shown in Fig 1 will be used to lift a vehicle of weight W. Determine the force in the hydraulic actuator required support the vehicle as a...

    Find Tension in CD with Input of y

    I have to create a formula where one would just need to input y to get the tension from CD. 1. Homework Statement A worker plans to lift a 60-lb 5 gallon bucket of paint by tying a rope to the scaffold a A and then passing the rope through the bail of the bucket at B and finally over the...

    Finding the uncalibrated generator's frequency from a 4 Hz beat

    Thanks. The answer was already given to me in a different forum.

    Finding the uncalibrated generator's frequency from a 4 Hz beat

    Are these answers correct? What is the true frequency of the uncalibrated generator? The true frequency of the uncalibrated generator is 904 Hz. Is there more than one possibility? Yes. The uncalibrated generator could be 866 Hz,

    Finding the uncalibrated generator's frequency from a 4 Hz beat

    Beats frequency happens when two different waves are at a point with the same amplitude. A calibrated wave generator has a wave as a standard and an uncalibrated wave generated is not similar to the calibrated wave.

    Finding the uncalibrated generator's frequency from a 4 Hz beat

    Imagine that you have a calibrated sine wave generator set at 900 Hz and you mix its signal with that of an uncalibrated generator also set at 900 Hz. You hear a beat frequency of 4 Hz. What is the true frequency of the uncalibrated generator? Is there more than one possibility? I'm...
