    Calculating Load Magnitude for Normal Stress in a Uniform Cross-Sectional Area

    alright I see that so MPA is N/mm^2 so I don't have to convert anything so it would be 40KN, 50MPa or 50N/mm^2 * 800mm^2 = 40,000N or 40KN, butI'm still stuck on the other link would it have the same thickness as link BD? link BD 800mm^2/510mm = 1.57mm? is it the same for the rest of the problem?

    Calculating Load Magnitude for Normal Stress in a Uniform Cross-Sectional Area

    ok i redid the math in order for mpa to be converted to force I would have to convert all the measurements to meters so now I get 40N. but I am still stuck I'm not sure if that's the force or do I have to calculate the cross sectional area of ABC if so how do I go about doing that?

    Calculating Load Magnitude for Normal Stress in a Uniform Cross-Sectional Area

    Knowing the portion of the link BD has a uniform cross-sectional area of 800mm^2, determine the magnitude of the load P for which the normal stress in that portion of BD is 50 Mpa. (Hint draw a free body diagram of the link ABC) http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9845/problmezf4.png sorry for...

    Check My Work: 100kg Mass Moving in a Straight Line

    I was wondering if someone could check my work and see if its correct. An object of mass 100.00kg moves in a straight line under the influence of a force given by F(t)=(120 N/s)t+4000N At t=0 it is moving at 0 m/s. Determine its speed at t=5.00 s What i did is this. I plugged 5s into the...

    What is Chelsea's kinetic energy at t=2.50s?

    well I used the quotient rule, at the end because it seemed most logical. all we have to do is calculate the amount of joules whic m*N= J and we find the deriv. of the position time function given But, I'm not so sure.

    How Does a Car's Stopping Distance Change on a Downhill Slope?

    the angle comes out to 5.71 which is almost the same, I tried that as well and if you add 1m to every 10m the answer is always the same .1 so I'm not sure how it would make a difference if used 1:10? so I'm still confused, also does anyone know if my formula is correct?

    What is Chelsea's kinetic energy at t=2.50s?

    Hello again and here is another problem I can't seem to figure out. Chelsea, a calico cat, runs in a straight line chasing a car down the street. Chelsea weighs 36.5 N. and her position along the road is given by x(t)=(3.50m/s)t+(0.425m/s^2)t^2+1.00ms/(t+1.00s) Calculate Chelsea's kinitec...

    How Does a Car's Stopping Distance Change on a Downhill Slope?

    Hey hows everyone well I'm busting my brain over this problem, On a level road the stopping distance for a certain car going 80km/hr is 32.0m. What would be the stopping distance for this car when going downhill on a 1:10 grade? A grade of 1:10 means the elevation drops 1.0m for a foward...
