    Fluid Statics: Difference Between Force Formulas

    Homework Statement What is the difference between these two formulas Homework Equations 1.Force=rho*g*h*area 2. Force=rho*g*volume 3. Force=rho*height*Area Where rho= specific weight of fluid The Attempt at a Solution I am guessing that 2 is for sphere or cylinders and for 3 i think it is...

    Fluid Statics: Calculate Moment on Rectangular Gate Hinged on Upper Edge

    Homework Statement The rectangular gate shown in section is 3 m long (perpendicular to the paper) and is hinged about its upper edge B. The gate divides a channel leading to a fresh-water lake on the left and a salt-water tidal basin on the right. Calculate the moment, M, on the shaft of the...

    Thermistors calculation of base resistance

    The resistance value of a thermistor at a specified temperature with negligible electrical power to avoid self heating. Usually base resistance will be defined at 25 °C. Its a NTC looking shape I think Y is resistance X is temp. Not sure At 100C: R= 0.08 Could I plug in 25 C and solve for Y?? .

    Materials engineering Concrete

    Homework Statement How does the compressive strength of concrete samples compared to the expected compressive strength of cured concrete. If different explain why. The Attempt at a Solution I think the question is asking what is the relationship between time and curing. And I think that the...

    How is the mass of the composite shape calculated using centroids and statics?

    I'm not understanding how they were able to obtain the mass and y bar since they only gave out this For 1=24kg/m^2 2=36kg/m^2

    How is the mass of the composite shape calculated using centroids and statics?

    Yea that's what I thought as well for the rectangles. 175x300 And the answer is wrong as well it should be 95.6 for y bar Thank-you
