Hi I am building a quadro-copter, and I'm curious to know how i can calculate the thrust generated by a motor/propeller combo. The motors are brushless electric motors for which i know the max RPM. The propellers are two bladed for which the diameter and pitch are known. Is there a simple...

I decided to go ahead and try it and it worked. Thank you for all your help i greatly appreciate it =)

ok gotya, that makes sense. So the equation should look like this: 9600Pa = p(w)*g*H(w) + p(o)*g*H(o) Then i would substitute H(w) and H(o) from p(water)*dh*g = p(oil)*dh*g into the above equation. So i would get two equations: 9600Pa = pw*H(w)*g + po*[(pw*H(w))/po]*g "po"'s cancel...

ok thanks that makes sense. So correct me if I'm wrong, my second equation 9.6kPa = p(water)*dh*g + p(oil)*dh*g is not correct. It should look like this: 9600Pa = p(w)*g*H(w) and 9600Pa = p(o)*g*H(o) so H(w) = 9600Pa/[p(w)*g] and H(o) =...

Im trying to complete homework for my physics class but i can't figure this problem out. here's the problem: The axis of a cylindrical container is vertical. The container is filled with equal masses of water and oil. The oil floats on top of the water, and the open surface of the oil is at...
