Displacement Definition and 999 Threads

Summary:: I have tried for some time to understand my error but can't figure it out. Any help will be much appreciated. Hi! I'm trying to figure out why the spatial displacement from two events A and B gives zero when I use one method compared to another which doesn't give zero spatial...

Hello everyone! I am analysing an 18 m per 1.2 m truss, simply supported, with 140x5 chords and 90x8 braces. I then loaded the superior nodes with 500 KN. The top nodes were also laterally constrained to prevent out-of-plane displacements. After imputing the structure in Abaqus (FEA software), I...

I know the torque will be zero when the deflection is zero and will be maximum when the angular displacement is θ0 but how to determine the exact shape of the graph? Thanks

My guess is (c) since the rest of the options do not make sense to me but I am not sure about the shape of the graph. Is (c) the correct answer? If yes, how to know whether the shape will be like in the option (straight line then curve downwards) or other shape like straight line only (like y =...

The speed limits on a straight road are given by a known function g(x,t) where x is the location on the road and t is time. A car starts at x = 0 at time t= 0 and always drives at the speed limit. The location of the car is given by the (unknown) function s(t). Is there a differential...

So the equation I had used made sense to me because through the wording of the question, since we have an initial velocity of 0m/s, and an acceleration of 2.5m/(s^2), and it was implied in the question that she caught the robber at the exact same time as she reached her maximum velocity, and...

I just insterted E(r) into F to get the net force. After that I wrote mx''=Fnet and I don't know how to proceed (supposing that's the right way).

While solving question 1.13(see the attachment) from Irodov, I was doing this: $$\int_{0}^{\tau}(\vec{v}-ucos\theta) dt=l$$, and $$\int_{0}^{\tau}\vec{v}cos\theta dt=u\tau$$. Solving this gave the answer. However, while solving these 2 equations, I only used the magnitude of ##\vec{v}##, and...

For the displacement, how do I figure out the angle theta between the points? And how does the speed at which the string retracts affect the centripetal force?

I rearranged the displacement formula to d2 = d + d1. I used cosine law to solve for d2 since the triangle is not right-angled but I am not getting the correct answer or angle for d2. The angle I used in cosine law (based on the diagram) was 32+12+90 = 134. d = v(t) = 130(3) = 390 km/h [N 32 E]...

Hello, I have attached my attempt at a solution. All is okay until i reach x=5-5e^-x. My assignment suggests that i solve it by substituting x=5-ε into the equation where ε is assumed to be small. Solve for ε and then solved for x (Approximate). Thank you for your help

Broke it into its components finding d1x, d1y, d2x, etc... Using those components I found drx to be 228.38km and dry to be 120.429km. Did Pythagoras to get 258km as the resultant displacement, heading N62W. I'm honestly lost. I'm doing the question the correct way, I just don't know what I'm...

Hi all, I have a positive displacement (diaphragm) pump that I am looking to use to supply spray nozzles. The pump has a max pressure rating of 69 bar at 30.6 L/min (1450 rpm). I however want my nozzles to spray at 15 bar pressure and from the nozzle performance data sheet that equates to 0.68...

Dear mechanical expert I have to realize a linear displacement system for a Hall sensor that has to slide along the central axis of a narrow cylinder and with which high intensity magnetic field measurements (1-14 Tesla) have to be made. The field is produced by a commercial vertical magnet...

in part a, i tried to draw the scale and tried to determine the magnitude. But I still don't get why is the answer written in that way. in part b: i know that x180/pi calculates the degree, but i don't understand how does this calculates the direction. and i don't understand what's happening in...

I do not understand part b. I know that x180/pi changes the value into a degree, but i do not understand what's going on inside the bracket. And how did the equation calculated the direction?

<work done a system> a) w=5N*(0.4m)=2J I think this is right, but b) center of mass initial = ((0.5kg)(0.05m)+0.5kg(0.65m))/1kg = 0.35m center of mass final = ((0.5kg)(0.45m)+0.5kg(0.4+0.1+0.3+0.25))/1kg = 0.75m I'm not sure for this one... How can I calculate the displacement of the...

I was thinking of a standard, high school level discussion of the displacement current. The need for introducing this quantity is demonstrated by considering a circuit with a charging capacitor, and (for the sake of simplicity) a circular loop whose axis is along the (straight) wire carrying the...

I have a simple Fortran code for solving velocity and displacement of spring, the code works fine when writing all together without using a subroutine. but as I am learning Fortran I tried to do it using subroutine, but I keep getting errors appreciate any help in advance. program msd implicit...

I’m self taught so I have a lot of holes in my understanding. I also have little to no mathematical understanding. Even though ironically, I tend to prefer to picture electricity as numbers rather than “water” in a pipe, etc. I’ve been studying displacement current recently and have a question...

Hi. I wasn't sure where to post this. It does relate to Earth science, but still wasn't sure whether or not to post there. Anyway, I am trying to determine the proper settings of the linkage of my barograph so that the pen moves the greatest distance up or down on the chart with as minimal...

Hi everyone I have an issue with my physics teacher about a question on displacement. I have inserted the screenshot of the question below. By the definition of displacement, I was sure, and still am sure my answer is correct. But my physics teacher insisted that I am wrong. Please, can anyone...

I'm working on a project where we have a mass (50 kg) sitting on a spring (350 N/mm) and are subjecting it to a sudden impulse (20g) along the spring axis to simulate a shock. We have the profile of the acceleration defined as: ##a(t) = x''(t) = P\cdot \sin^2 (\pi \cdot t / T)## Where P (peak...

I calculated the value of kgf/cm^2 from given values. In the second table (Force exerted by the pneumatic cylinders) I see my value 5.6 exactly but how do I then read the table to get the diameter of the cylinder and then the rod? I then am stuck on how to calculate the total consumption...

I am having some difficulty understanding what "recoil" really is with respect to momentum, force, and and time. On the one hand, momentum is considered to be the product of mass and velocity or perhaps the product of the sum of masses and some velocity, or some variant of P=mv, where P is a...

Since electron will stop eventually due to efield, equation is : ##v^2 = u^2 +2as## Where v = 0 , u = ##1.04*10^8 m/s## ##a = \frac{qe}{m} =\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(e)}{9.11*10^{-31}}## ##e = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon(1)}+\frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon(4-1)}## Are the equations correct? Or is my concepts wrong?

If I take the vector sum, I am getting the angle to be 1. (tan^-1 tan(1)). Is that correct?

I know that by physics definition if displacement is zero, work is zero. However, if I push an object 5 m to the east, and then move to the other side of the object and push it 5 m back to the west. I think in this case I have always done positive work on the object and hence the total work...

From what I understand, ##a_{r} = v_{tan}^2 /r## ##a_{r} = (r\omega)^2 /r## ##a_{r} = r\omega^2## ##\omega^2 = \frac{a_{r}}{r}## ##\omega^2 = \frac{2+2t}{0.12}## ##\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2+2t}{0.12}}## ##s =\int_{0}^{2} \sqrt{\frac{2+2t}{0.12}}## After integrating, I still can't seem to get the...

EDIT: As per @Orodruin 's suggestion(s), I have edited my problems and equations, sorry for the confusion as I typed this out hasty. So from this question, I understand I have to find the net force for the first 10 seconds and deceleration for 20 seconds. The scale shows the force with which...

I have drawn a arrow pointing straight down (South) 110km and an arrow off that to the right(west) 70km.I know that the distance of the journey would be 180km. How do I go about finding the displacement?

I'm just having trouble understanding 1) how to plug in the formulas correctly and 2) the correct manner of attacking this. I feel like I'm missing something basic/simple. Any help is greatly appreciated! So far I've got: D = (0) + .5(2.2m/s^2 x 2.4s)^2 Enrique

I work in HVAC, for those who don't know, and one of the things that you need to protect against in labs and chiller rooms is the risk of asphyxiation due to oxygen displacement by an inert gas. This is often described as analogous to high altitude hypoxia - and the math is related - but is it...

Summary: I can't figure out how the solver carries out the conversions from cartesian to cylindrical coordinates and vice-versa. I have a set of points of a finite element mesh which when inputted into a solver (ansys) gives the displacement of each node. I can get the displacement values of...

Hi, I am having trouble understanding the intuition behind the problem I attached. Work is the product of the force and displacement in the direction of displacement, so since the crate is moving horizontally from A to B why isn't the displacement AB = 6m? Thanks in advance

Hi, So I have this question to solve and I have no idea how to do it. It states: ''How are the maximum displacements of each pendulum related for ω1 and ω2? Draw a sketch that describes the motion of the system in each case. '' The 2 angular frequencies that I have found are ω1 =√(g/l) and...

The Biot-Savart law which describes a magnetic field created by a displacement current: $$\frac{dB}{dV}=\frac{\mu_0\epsilon_0}{4\pi}\frac{\frac{∂E}{∂t}×r}{r^2}$$ What's the relativistically co-variant form of this equation? Is the introduction of speed of light propagation delays enough, or...

We all know a moving charge generates a magnetic field. A moving charge also generates a displacement current ∂E/∂t. Is the magnetic field generated entirely due to the presence of the displacement current, or is there an independent, separate effect which contributes to the magnetic field?
