thanks for the reply, resistance=((1/8.3k)+(1/4.1k))^-1 (just 2 resistors in parallel) so resistance is 2.74kOhms

Homework Statement http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5953/elek.png Homework Equations v=IR The Attempt at a Solution I have tried finding the total resistance of the circuit and then applying ohms law. My answer is 0.65 Amps but that's incorrect. Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks for the helpful input! Looking at the course outline more closely it shows that the first computer-related course I am taking involves Matlab. These are the books they recommend for it: Highly Recommended Palm W.J., Introduction to Matlab 7 for engineers 2ed, 84.50...

Im starting my bachelor degree in mechatronics engineering this semester, i have very little knowledge in programming and so want to start learning a language. Ideally a language that would give me the upperhand for employment or one that is most relevant to engineering.( maybe they all are i...

I will be starting my bachelors degree in mechatronics engineering this year(in australia), did a google search and found some intreresting stuff that might help you. http://www.mechatronics.canterbury.ac.nz/about.shtml...

I like the rap!

studying mechatronics engineering this year!(first year)

Every year 12 student that takes the subject in victoria(approx 6000 people i think, small compared to other subjects) take this subject, it is like advanced math and i think its the second hardest math that a year 12 can take in victoria. administrators are VCAA. Part 1 of the exam was much...

You must resolve forces parallel and perpendicular to the plane. The friction is the coefficient of friction multiplied by the 'normal' force. EDIT: beaten to it

v is in the denominator

the exam was made up of 22 multiple choice questions and 5 extended answer question. Here is a link to part 2 of the exam(cant find part 1)(not uploaded by me). http://trinon.info/exams/VCAA_2008_Specialist_Mathematics_Exam_2.pdf EDIT:yeh sorry that statement does sound unrelated, just...

We had our year 12 end of year exam for specialist math(for the whole state) and we were allowed to bring in a bound reference. Everyone came in holding a large book with LOTS of papers glued into it that had problems and questions with the working out, while i came in with a lousy one-paged A4...

ok thanks again, yeh its too hot to get any sleep here lol.

Thanks for that reply! Yeah i put physics for my first year elective just cause it sounded more interesting and i'll most likely leave it at that. If i take process systems does that allow me to do chemical engineering if it interests me more that mechatronics? In terms of jobs, is there...
