Homework Statement Hi , I got a MI problem for a given application. I need the failure load of a beam in order to derive the Merit Index. Does anybody knows the equation of the failure load of a beam ?

thanks a lot

It is a gas , assuming air is through the pipe, so i need to find the flow rate of the air. I need to convert the number that the manometer is giving me to volume flow rate.

Hi , Does anyone know , how to calculate the flow rate from a manometer ? there is a pipe attatch to the venturi meter, the inside tube of venturi is 32 mm and the outside 62 mm. A fan is sucking the air, so flow rate is produced. Thank You

Firstly thanks for replying , this is what i get : 2 equations for motion and i am struggling to get the one for the moment. mx1=-kx1-2krθ mx2=-2kx2 - 2krθ do you know if i am on the right way ?
