Ahh, yes, I was thinking of the evaporation rate in a static system. But since we'll be adding water to the flask (at a rate less than 1mL/min), each drop will push out a corresponding amount of humid vapor. Good point mfb. I worked on minimizing the gap yesterday, once I've completed that, I...

I am trying to determine whether the evaporation rate of a 3L erlenmeyer flask would be negligible given the following circumstances. The flask would have a rubber stopper in it, with a hole approximately 1mm in radius greater than the steel drip line feeding into it (leaving an open ring that...

So then, with the new force balance equation, we get: ∂1 = \frac{TL}{2EA} = \frac{FL}{4EAsinθ} Which gives us: ∂=∂1 + ∂2 = 2∂1 = \frac{FL}{2EAsinθ} So the final answer then would be: LF=L+\frac{LF}{2EAsinθ}

Theta is the angle made at the support ends. Theta is the same on the left and right side. When F=0, Theta=0, theoretically.

Homework Statement Hang a weight (F) from the middle of a horizontal wire of length L, attached on both sides. The wire has an effective modulus (E) and effective area (A). Find an equation for the new length of the wire LF. (NOTE: Do not try to solve for a form LF =, this is too hard)...
