    Solving Basic Transposition Problem: Isolating A and Finding its Value

    Sin180-A = (32.4/390) I'm usually OK with transposing but I'm having trouble in this example. I need to isolate A and find its value. Can I simply move the Sin across so it becomes Sin[SIZE="1"]-1 and leave 180-A? For my final answer I get 175.2 degrees which leads me to think I'm...

    Solving the Energy Conservation Equation for Flywheel & Mass

    1. A flywheel about a string is wrapped. At the end of the string is a mass, 2kg, which is initially held staionary at the datum position. If the mass is released it will fall causing the flywheel to rotate, and after the mass has fallen a distance of h meters it has a linear velocity of v m/s...

    How Do You Calculate the Optimal Shaft Diameter to Avoid Fatigue?

    Hi, I have been atempting this is a question for a week now and I've been struggling on the final part. The question is below in bold. The tension in a flat belt pulley is 1250N when stationary. Calculate the tension in each side, and the power transmitted, when the belt is on the point of...
