Well its just a tip. Maybe i quoted it wrong. So: You may give Feynman a try.

I am not sure if you will like the layout but the MIT opencourseware is a great resource. The material and the video lectures are outstanding. Here are the links: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/ Tip: If you want to enjoy physics, the first thing you...

Sorry for the inconvenience. m1 & m2 are in equilibrium , y= 300mm & x=900 mm and hence m1y=m2x. So, if m1 & m2 are in equilibrium, will different heights have any effect? h1=900mm & h2=913mm.

That is basically m1y=m2x (in this case) But what about the effects of h1 & h2 ? The two beams are at different heights so will the approach change?

Homework Statement m2=3kg, m1=? the diagram has been attached Homework Equations I know that we find counterweights by equating equation mass x distance frm pivot but how do we find if it is at different height The Attempt at a Solution Is it m1yh1=m2xh2 is counterweight at all dependent...

m 1 = Mass of empty pan in kg Pw = Weight of parts in N m 2 = Mass of counter weight needed to be attached in kg θ = Angle of inclination of the conveyor track x = Length of tray arm from axis of rotation in mm y = Length of counter weight arm from axis of rotation in mm a = Diameter of...

There can be a range for it but how to approach it mathematically ? Could you please elaborate it in detail? How would you approach the problem ? Do you need any data? m1=3kg & m2=10kg I want to clear this concept and your help is highly appreciated.

I am trying to design a material transfer system ( the system at duration 0:57 to 1:34 ). The general layout is http://i.imgur.com/ajQ05qy.png It was suggested that angle be 5 degree. The reason is for hauling effect so the tray can revolve back. can you explain this? why 5 degrees? supporting...

a is the length of bearing housing(the middle block which is the reference axis) hence a sin θ is added to h for balancing. my issue is the second equation. i cannot understand the RHS side.LHS is simply the wt of pan and tray.(ρwg). can you help me with the equation on RHS ( m1 x^2 + m2 y^2)...

a better way to remember is to question yourself on the concept you have learnt. do not solve problems just for the sake of "finishing" a book. Quality of questions matter rather than quantity. solve less problems involving different concepts rather than just solving huge pile of sets. form...

Homework Statement To prove that system will travel freely upto 180 degree m2 is counterweight and m1 is mass of pan (=3kg) i have attched the fbd or another link http://www.imagebam.com/image/54bb5a394377595 Homework Equations m1(h + a sin θ) g x = m2 y h g m2 = 9.13 kg The Attempt at a...
