    Engineering DC Machine motor constant equation

    not sure about those formulas is this working right? E_a = (k_m)(W_m) V_T = E_a + (I_a)(R_a) No load test, therefore I_a = 0 Therefore E_a = V_T V_T/Wm = k_m k_m = 239/(3000*(1/60)*2pi = 0.76

    Engineering DC Machine motor constant equation

    ok I found this site which helped a lot, something about a conversion factor for the torque so i managed to get a bit further but I am still confused about those two differing formulae T Nm * 3000RPM * 0.1047 (conversion factor) = P T * 3000 * 0.1047 = 239 * 0.25 T = 59.75 / 314.1 T = 0.190226...

    Pulley question about a mass on a string

    Homework Statement i'm having a lot of trouble with this question. A pulley, consisting of a 0.40 m diameter wheel mounted on a horizontal frictionless axle, is firmly attached to the ceiling. A light rope wrapped around the pulley supports a 0.50 kg object, as shown in the diagram...

    Engineering Logic circuits for boolean functions

    the gates have the right number of iputs and outputs I just didn't put the weird shapes, because it's easier for me to remember like this

    Analysis Of Truss, Method Of Joints.

    i've decided to just write expressions for each of the members can you please tell me which ones I need to change to negative. BG =25 AC = 35 CJ = -49.497 CD = 35 DJ = 65 JK = 35 DK = -91.924 DE = -(35 + -91.924* sin(45)) 0 = DK sin(45) + KF sin (45) - 20 0 = JK + KL + DK sin(45) + KF sin(45)...

    Analysis Of Truss, Method Of Joints.

    i've calculated F(CD) to be 35 and F(DJ) = 65 F(JK) =35 and F(DK) = 91.924 i have no idea if they are negative or what

    Analysis Of Truss, Method Of Joints.

    if it is in compression does that mean its negative? or is it the other way around? also we were told that CH, HJ, EK, GM and LM are zero force members

    Analysis Of Truss, Method Of Joints.

    the equation should be 0=F(CJ) * Cos(45) + F(CD) right? how do you tell if it is + or - ?? like is it what I wrote above or 0=F(CJ) * Cos(45) - F(CD)??

    Analysis Of Truss, Method Of Joints.

    Homework Statement Hi so I have the following truss: http://screencast.com/t/BIdagRt5abg and I need to calculate the forces in every member by method of joints The Attempt at a Solution So I got the Reaction forces: F(BG) = 25N and F(AC) = 35N Now I'm not exactually sure what to do...
