Yah the process seemed similar to mine, but I wasnt sure why in the solution the cut the interval in half instead of 1/3 So its safe to say that its wrong, and if i was asked to cut by 1/3, it should be 0.42/3 and not 0.42/2, correct?

I have a question I've been working on and I've noticed that my solution differs from the textbook solution. I would have considered it a mistake, but the next 4 questions are similar with the same solution "mistake"? Aside from not converting the % to 0.885, I am wondering about part b. It...

I had a physics course a few years back that touched on constructive and destructive waves and only today did i notice this phenomenon with my speakers. I was curious about the theory behind this particular scenario in my room. I have one of those mobile speakers, a bose soundlink II. It has 4...

Homework Statement My question is this, they say that at point B the 30kN force is uniformly distributed If a force is uniformly distributed shouldn't the units be 30kN/mIf so, wouldn't that imply the point force would act in the center of the disk and the force would be be 30kN multiplied...

right! thank you.

Hey Voko, how would I go about figuring out the moment effect of 10kN on pt A. I've tried finding the distance from A to the corner right under e. = √(2^2 + 2^2) = 2.8 and then with that length am I able to take the moment of the 10kN force? M = f d = (10)(2.8) = 28...

Homework Statement I'd like to figure out the moment at pt A using the scalar approach, not vector Homework Equations Vector M = r x f Scalar M = fd The Attempt at a Solution I think I might be missing some concept that would make my life easier... I figured out how to...

Yah, I missed the obvious until you pointed it out. I appreciate you takin the time, voko.

Oooooooooohhhhh, Voko, you're JEDI MASTER.

so wait, is θ just thrown in there to mess with me. Should I have known right from the jump that the largest moment generated around A would be Fc (perpendicular to AB)

alpha = 90

right right right. M = fcosθ(3) - fsinθ(2) 10 000 = fcosθ(3) - fsinθ(2) I have no clue what comes next. I've tried reading it, clearly I am confused. Wait, I am confused even more, my solution in the initial post yielded the right answer, was that by complete fluke? It says in my book "d is...

Would I break it into components instead? Mx = fcosθ * (d) My = fsinθ * (d)

I don't understand what you mean, Voko.
