    Product Second Moment of Area Ixy - Help

    hi, I've been tryign to work out the stress at a point for a T X-section area of a beam. However, the T-shape IS NOT symmetrical. The general formula is Ixy = Ixy g + AXY (X = X bar and Y = Y bar) I have X bar and Y bar and Area of course too. i Dont know how to calculate the first term of...

    Solving Moment of Inertia on Variable Incline | Help Needed

    i don't understand when u say take the torque with respect to the contact point. how does torque come in this. do i use that formula instead.. it tried that and i ended up with a T instead,how do i get rid of it?

    Solving Moment of Inertia on Variable Incline | Help Needed

    ooooh I'm excited. i think i worked it out. :)) okay here goes. frictional force F=I.A (A= angular acceleration) I=mk^2, a=A.r term i need to change is a/(g cos t) so i did A=F/I which implies that a=Fxr/I using formula a=Ar m previously worked out was m=N/g cos t since I=mk^2...

    Solving Moment of Inertia on Variable Incline | Help Needed

    yes t = theta..couldnt put the theta in the post :$ yes I've tried it..and it has worked. i summed all the forces in the X direction and Y direction and it has worked :)) thanx. the second part of the question says: Determine an expression for the value of F/N where the only unknowns are...

    Help with Loops & Currents for Exam Revision

    alright thanx..i'm sorted now..i was making a silly mistake.. of not adding the current since they were in teh same directions! we've done example of the opposite so that's why i subtracting :) thanks for the reply.
