    Solve Shear Stress Qn: Mx,My,Mz, Mc,I,J, VQ,It

    Homework Statement Homework Equations Mx=200Nm My=300Nm Mz=600Nm Normal stress caused by bending moment at A = Mc/I = (300*0.02)/((pi*0.02^4)/4)= 47.7MPa. This answer is correct. Shear stress by Torsional Moment=Tc/J Polar moment of inertia J=(pi/2)*c^4 So I...

    Understanding Stress: 75/Area vs 125/Area and (QA)

    The problem Why is the normal stress 75/Area and not 125/Area. They are both acting on the same axis so how do I know which one to choose? And what does (QA) mean?

    Engineering How Do You Calculate Thevenin Equivalent Circuits and Current Flow?

    so do i use P=(V^2/R) or P=I^2*R if i use P=(V^2/R) i get V = sqrootof(25*10)=15.81V if i use P=I^2*R i get I=sqrootof(10/25)=0.632A V=R*I=15.81V Then I=V/(RL+RS)= 15.81/(25+5)=0.527A are my calculations correct?
