    Is aeroelastic flutter a type of resonance?

    Sorry if this aint undergrad its hard to tell what is and what isnt. I wanted to know if these two things linked or are they completely different? I am looking at the causes of the narrows bridge collapse... it would seem that the flutter has to do with vibrations but not exactly with resonance...

    Calculating the energy that is released in nuclear fusion

    OHH okay I had no idea they could of placed it there! I was looking on the right hand side of this formula sheet for numbers not the left... Okay cool thanks for your help.

    Calculating the energy that is released in nuclear fusion

    Question 1. c) (ii) on this AQA paper... http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-PHYA5-1-QP-JUN13.PDF The solution is here http://filestore.aqa.org.uk/subjects/AQA-PHYA5C-W-MS-JUN13.PDF So I know that the binding energy will be the mass defect so the value of energy on the left hand side is...

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    Ahh yeah sorry got mistaken with another question.

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    So, would you say that component Fsin a is acting along the base, and so does not need resolving..?

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    So you're saying I should be doing only Fcos a x 0.04 = 0.02 x 60?

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    Here I have done the moments on this diagram. This is why I don't get why I need to do P forces. As you can see on this diagram, this is where I am coming from. The moments should be the equation I have given since Fcos and Fsin are negative forces, and 60N works against these forces. I have...

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    Yeah well it doesn't make sense to me because the bigger force there is, the more likely the block is to slide or topple so... how do I get my actual equation of P and angle after I know the moments? I don't get it.

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    Okay I see what you mean but that gives me moments about E like these: Let srt2/25 be c of P x c = 0.1g x 0.02 --> P = 0.0196/c so... the value of P in this case would be completely independent of angle..? How am I meant to check if the angle when P = 0.3 is 45 if the value of P is constant...?

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    I have used phytagoras. the length we looking for is let us say c, c = Sqrt of (0.042 + 0.042) My calculator said this was Sqrt of 2 over 25. Also, your second solution, idk what that's about. Dont understand.

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    Square root of 2 divided by 25? So now I changed the equation to P = 0.0196/(SQrt(2)/25sinAngle + 0.04cosAngle) but it gives me answer of P = 0.287 for angel= 45 (i) , and 0.36788... for (ii) angle = 15, not the required values of P.

    Does this cube slide or topple?

    I have attached a copy of the full question and my diagram which I thought was correct but it does not give me the correct answer. The answer for (i) is that it stays put and for (ii) that it topples. I do not get = 0 for any of them. I get some values... (i) -0.15 for slide, 0.346 for topple...

    Negative logarithm within an equation problem?

    Thank you for quick response. So it works similar to the case where (-1)^even = positive and (-2)^odd = negative... so if n-1 was odd (n was even), then the equation would be unsolvable... It's an easier solution than I thought... It's nice to know why I turned that expression positive for all...

    Negative logarithm within an equation problem?

    Hello, I know that a negative logarithm is undefined. But I am faced with an equation like this: -1 x (-2)^(n-1) = -16777216 I divided it by -1 to give (-2)^(n-1) = 16777216 And then took logs to get (n-1) log(-2) = log 16777216 Since I can't work out the log of a negative number, what do I...

    How Does the Graph of 1/R Against E/V Relate to the Equation y = mx + c?

    Oh my... that would mean the gradient is internal resistance, could someone check if what I done here is correct?
