    Method of Joints: Struggling to Understand?

    I am struggleing here. Can anyone explain this concept to me? I don't understand how to first find the forces the supports exort and even if I did I don't know I I could proceed. Does anyone know a website that has a non-symetrical triangle that I can re-learn the basics off of. Or if some one...

    Solving Mechanics: Calculating Reactions at Origin & End Point | Quick Tips

    I don't know if you are thinking about it right. There is only one force to begin with the 300 N at the top going horizontal in the positive x direction. At the orgin there is a stationary pivot point and a wheel at the other end on the x axis. The -400 N force I translated to the wheel from...

    Solving Mechanics: Calculating Reactions at Origin & End Point | Quick Tips

    How do you change a moment about a point into a force is my main problem. I have a force of 300 N at the top of a L shaped bracket h=240 mm. So at the other end of the L at l= 180 mm the force would be -400 N right? Because at the orgin the moment would be 72000 N*mm. So what is the reaction at...

    Simple thinking problem - mirror refraction

    No...Pictures are made after light is exposed to film...Take one piece of light as follow it in your mind the distance from the film to the mirror...reflected...and back to the film...what is the distance?

    Angular acceleration and tension

    Ok tension on M_1 has something to do with the pulley and T on m_2 should be greater but what is the equation? M_2 is the equation above but what is the other?

    Simple thinking problem - mirror refraction

    Look at his hint more closely...He says The image in a plane mirror is the same distance behind the mirror as in front...so think about it.

    Angular acceleration and tension

    A block of mass 2.00 kg and a block of mass 6.00 kg are connected by a massless string over a pulley in the shape of a solid disk having a radius of .25 m and mass 10 kg. These blocks are allowed to move on a fixed block-wedge of angle 30 degrees. Friction = .360 for both blocks. Ok I don't...

    Solving the Boat Movement After Romeo & Juliet's Kiss: 0.7m

    I've got most of the problem completed but I need a little help on the last little bit. Julet moves across the boat 2.7m to romeo to give him a kiss. Romeo and the boat weigh 157 kg and Julet weighs 55 kg. How far does the boat move. The boat is at rest before hand. The answer is .7m and I...

    Calculating Impulse & Work of a Tennis Ball Hit by Racquet

    the units would be kg*m/s for (a) right? And for (b) J

    Calculating Impulse & Work of a Tennis Ball Hit by Racquet

    The change in momentum would be 90 m/s right 50-(-40). And I am not quite sure I understand your equation because I don't have a delta t. Do I?
