    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    cheers for all the help. just had the exam and the same sort of question popped up.

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    think that's right, except is it missing a factor of ab

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    picture finally got approved :D huzzah. those moment of inertias look correct

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    the origin has to go either along side c, or at the centre of gravity (where i put it).

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    hahaha, take it u googled too? not at uni presently, but will be tomorrow, so will hopefully sort it then. seeing as the exam is the day after would obv want to sort it 2moro :P

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    Possible answer All that goes to ------> Possible answer of torque= /Mw^2ab(b^2-a^2)\ --> |-------------------| k \ 12(a^2+b^2) / That is the torque is in the k direction. Yes/no/maybe?

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    I suspect that Euler is the key to solving the question, as it was a major part of the course, and seems to be the method they want us to take. Still, initial thoughts led me to believe the answer was 0 (no time dependency). Also calculated the moment of inertia the same as above: The...

    Calculating Torque for Rotating Triangular Plate with Constant Angular Velocity

    I have a question from an old exam, asking for the torque required to rotate a triangular shape about one of its sides. Please find the question attached, and any help is greatly appreciated. Until the picture gets approved: Find the torque needed to rotate a traingular plate of sides a, b...
