    Mechanics of Materials: Deformation of a Hollow Cylinder

    Homework Statement Hollow Circular tube of Length (L) 600 mm is compressed by forces P (axially). Outside diameter (d2) is 75 mm. Inside diameter (d1) is 63 mm. Modulus of Elasticity (E) is 73 GPa Poisson's ratio (v) is 0.33. axial strain (ε) is 781 x 10-6 Find shortening of tube (δ). (This...

    How Do I Apply the Nth-Term Test to the Sequence (-1)^n+1?

    Sorry. I guess I didn't show my last step. the series further simplifies to: -1 + 1 + ... Which is a basic alternating series of (-1)^(n) This series is a known to diverge. No further justifications needed

    How Do I Apply the Nth-Term Test to the Sequence (-1)^n+1?

    You are correct that the alternating series of the form (-1)^n diverges. So, this series for sine is just a different form of an alternating series. Now, the nth-term test is a waste of time. This would be a last resort test, because there are so many other (more simplicities) ways to...

    What Methods Solve the Differential Equation f '(x) = 3 * f(x)?

    Let me see if I can help... If the problem is asking to solve for f(x)... Then, I'd first ask myself, what function is equal to its derivative. I only know of one function: e^x Therefore, the answer must be of be form: e^(kx), where k is some constant. Does that help?

    Fluids at Rest: Pressure/Force Problem

    (My apologies for not using the pretty font) Now, rho = D dh = delta-h dF = delta-F I think I see the logic behind it: P = F/A F = P A P = (D g dh) A = (w dh) dF = [D g dh] * [w dh] dF = D g w (dh)^2 I think we can simply rewrite the end as: (dh)^2 = h * dh Therefore...

    Fluids at Rest: Pressure/Force Problem

    From what I understand, you don't need to know the sizes of the other walls. Pressure is delta-Force over delta-Area. And for flat surfaces, Pressure ends up simply being P = F/A (no integration needed). Besides, the problem states that it only wants to know the pressure difference of...

    Fluids at Rest: Pressure/Force Problem

    This question has been asked several times, but I don't want the answer (I can see the stupid answer...) I need help with my solution... Homework Statement A large aquarium of height 5.00m is filled with fresh water to a depth of 2.00m. One wall of the aquarium consists of thick...

    Limit Question: Calculator Discrepancy

    Question: Why does my calculator state the limit of the following function is 1, but my calculations state it does not exist? There's a gap in the graph between -1 and 0. I noticed that there are a few points in that section that do generate real values which appear to move towards 1, but...

    How to Graph a Parabolic Equation Without a Calculator?

    What's the process that needs to take place to be able to graph the following equation (not-using a graphing calculator): x2 + 12xy + 36y2 + 2x - 3y - 9 = 0 I know to use the B2 - 4AC formula to identify the equation as being parabolic, though I don't understand the formula... Looking at...

    How Can I Purchase Pure Elements?

    I want to know how one purchases pure elements. Like Caesium or Neon or Chlorine. Do you need license to purchase some elements? Or do you need to be affiliated to some sort of organization? Where is a site that has prices for the elements? Just curious how one gets a hold of these...

    How can I freeze a gallon of water in 5 seconds?

    Ok, so the shape of the liquid matters... Then let's say it's a cube of liquid. Not a gallon. 1 m^3 will be the size of liquid. Now how do I figure the time frame? I want this to freeze in 5 seconds...so how cold would it need to be outside for a cube of water to freeze starting from 25...

    How can I freeze a gallon of water in 5 seconds?

    ---- http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/water-thermal-properties-d_162.html This states that rougly the specific heat (I think that's what C is) for the range we are working with is roughly 4.182 kJ/(kg*K) 4.182 KJ/(kg*K) So let's resolve for Q1 again... 3.79 L = 1 Gallon m =...

    How can I freeze a gallon of water in 5 seconds?

    http://www.Newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem00/chem00005.htm Based off of this Density of pure water at room temperature (saying room temperature equals 25 C) is 997.07 g/L 3.79 L = 1 Gallon m = D/V = (997.07 g/L) * (3.79 L) * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 3.78 kg c = 4.182 KJ / Kg DelT = T2 -...

    How can I freeze a gallon of water in 5 seconds?

    Ok...Let me try solving for kW so we have a number to work with. Then we'll go from there. It'll probably take me a few minutes. I will have a reply before 15 mintues are up from this time. Thank you so far for your help.
