Thanks for the feedback. You're thinking is along the same lines as mine. The system is under constant compression as long as the horizontal rate of change you of the press is slower than the acceleration that could arise front the applied force. Thanks for your feedback.

c is usually a variable you find so that your solution satisfies given initial conditions. Typically c is in front of the exponent. Ie c1 exp^2t.

It is the force between the wall and load cell three. I will try free body diagrams as suggested.

This is something I’ve been pondering for sometime and I’m looking to develop a better conceptual understanding so I look forward to any feedback that you can provide. I have attached a drawing for clarity and a text description follows. - Two objects of mass M1 and M2 are on a platform...

Omoplata, Thank you, this all makes perfect sense. If I may throw one more variable into the mix. Assume I apply both a left horizontal force to load cell three and the fixed wall moves slowly moves back and forth with a sinusoidal x component. F1 is greater than F2 and both are much greater...

I typed the question up in another application and just noticed that it did not properly paste all of the information. I can no longer edit the original post so I will provide the information below. 1. Homework Statement Blocks A and B are on a horizontal surface and connected to one...

Hello. Thank you for your response. The force is applied to load cell numb one and is pushing right.

Thoughts?.

I would recommend trying a solution of the form f(t) = A sin (theta) + B cos (theta) where you can replace the sin and cos with the relevant equations. Once you establish the function then differentiate and solve for your A and B.

Hi, It is clear that f(x) will be plotted on an x, y graph so xmin, xmax correspond to the x-axis minima and maxima humps, ymin and ymax correspond to the values. To search for these using your graphing calculator stay with a large range like Xmin & ymin = -50 and then xmax and ymax = 50...

This is not a homework problem rather it is a discussion that I have been having with friends. *Your thoughts and feedback would be appreciated. Homework Statement Blocks A and B are on a horizontal surface and connected to one another by a load cell. Block A has mass m1 and Block B has...
