Thanks for all the input on this it's a great help as I really had run out of places to look for good information. Hi again 256bit you've not given up on me yet then.  The link you posted is not working for me though, seems to come up with a different fault every time but one was 'out of area'...

Thank you for your post 256bits, Yes a construction problem but not one that I or my structural engineer have the knowledge to calculate accurately. A glazing panel is usually put in a frame which allows for the expansion, it this case this is not an option as frames have drains to remove and...

Sorry, badly worded, doing too many things at once and trying to get out the door for an appointment. Momentum and as you mentioned torque if you're adding acceleration to the equation keeps the car moving. The friction of the front tyres makes the car keep turning in a circle. Obviously you can...

Hi, I think you are getting a little confused by trying to use friction as a directional force as you would with thrust, drag, momentum and centrifugal force. What are you trying to achieve? Friction is static so can't be represented as a force on a vector diagram like this, friction opposes a...

Hi, apologies for the length of this, I'm hoping as a group you knowledgeable established or future Engineers and Physicists can help me out with a problem. I have been having a discussion with a colleague about expansion of a 6m x 7m integrally waterproofed (Kryton KIM) concrete slab roof that...

Thanks for admitting me to your group, hopefully I'll be able to contribute something worthwhile to your discussions and pick up some valuable knowledge along the way. You're never to old to learn as they say. As this is the introductions section I'd better tell you a little about myself...
