If you already know how to make drawings, and read them, you should be able to pick up 2D CAD in less than a hundred hours of practice, so a course wouldn't be worth it. If you need to learn about drawings, find a drafting tech school that offers evening "crash" courses for engineers. In almost...
It's much simpler if you look at a motorcycle to start. There, you must lean left to turn left. In a car, there's a whole bunch of stuff to consider. The car may be set up to understeer or oversteer for example. And, you have to look at the camber angle, etc, etc. Start with motorcycles.
I'd guess you're in a freshman physics class this semester, probably about Chapter 8, +/- 1 Chapter. So, what are you studying that looks anything like this? Skim through the text and look for a picture or diagram that suggests anything close to this.
Oh, I didn't mean to suggest that was a good idea. I certainly would never try for anything tighter than +/- 0.25" if I could help it. I only know about the (roughly) 0.05" becuase I got assigned a job like that a few years back. My supervisor insisted he wanted an adapter put in with precision...
Hello,
You are missing the point that "c" is the speed of light, but "300 000 000" is not. When you replace "c" with a number, that number includes a unit of measure (though that can be, for people who are very good in math, implied). There is no such thing as a speed of 186 000, or 1; there...
The question is what you mean by precisely and whether you're doing a "one-off" or production. Pipe threads are interference fit (when done right and cold weld when not) and cannot be extremely precise. If you're doing one only, follow FredGarvin's gaging solution and make sure you have really...
OK. The diagram does not show a pivot where the strut meets the wall, but I assume that is supposed to be a pivot? In that case the strut is always in either pure tension or compression since you cannot transmit torque at either end. So, the force exerted on/by the strut at the upper right...
I'm not real clear on what you're trying to do, but the basic control in pipe threading is length of engagement, and there are several ways to arrive at that. Are you trying to control depth of engagement in some precise way?
