    Finding the size of Beam (cross members/knee braces)

    Please find the attached picture. It clearly explains the problem What is the method to find the size of the knee braced beam member? Do we have to to draw free body diagram for each point and then find out the force acting on the cross member-then see if that beam's cross section area can...

    Torque required to rotate a circular sector inside a drum

    I am afraid , I didn't understand. My approach was to find the Inertia of both separately and then arrive at their individual torques. Did you mean the same ? Do we need a parallel axis theorem in that ? If yes, could you explain a little more elaborately ? Angle was taken to be ∏/2...

    Torque for rotating mass inside cylincder

    Tried another way, don't know if its ryt : Rotational Moment of Inertia = I= m*r^2 in my case, I(slurry)= (Wt/32.2)*8.5^2 Torque , Tslurry = I*ω*(1/time)=I*(2*∏*rpm)*(1/time*60) ... is this correct ?
