Moments Definition and 598 Threads

Hello I did part 1 of this HW using the rules for findint Instantaneous Center of Rotations in STATICS (Hauptpol in german) and Nebenpol (idk how to translate it). I attached my calculation and it's supposed to be the right answer. I replaced the two forces on A (piston force Ah and vertical...

Many times I've seen that the moments in the free body diagram are not included for example for an hinge or fixed beam. I asked the same question here...

I'm developoing one mechamical device, that we'll put two nutrunner in one gear. One spur gear will rotate the gear and put the nutrunner and one position. Each nutrunner will fix one bolt with 70Nm. I need put one motor in pinion, but i need consider the moments to define de size of the motor...

my attempt: no effect

The Question What I did The Answer

Question: My answer: The books answer:

Problem: Solution: This was quite simple, are my solutions correct?

M= F x d at layer 7, layers 8 - 12 has its centre of mass at middle of layer 10, which is where the weight of these layers would be acting. Not sure hoe to determine whether it would topple

Hello! I saw many paper extracting the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments of the nuclei by performing RF/microwave spectroscopy on the rotational levels of a molecule. However, I can't seem to find paper measuring higher order moments. For example, the magnetic octupole moment has...

Hey all, I am currently looking for some data on the resonant transition dipole moment for the Rydberg states of Strontium (in the literature, the square of the dipole moment is known as the "C3 coefficient"). If anyone could point me to some relevant papers that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi so with this question, I am really confused. Even from the start. Like it doesn't tell us where the force is acting on. From top of block, middle of block etc? And I know how to determine the direction of moment for something on a pivot, not in this scenario though. The answer is A. They did...

I have tried solving this by splitting the load into two parallel coplaner loads as the Hint below the question suggests but while i was computing the values i realized that, i'll have 4 variables with only 3 equations. two forces and the two distances to forces from their respective axes. i've...

A very simple (I thought!) question: I'm just looking at the first part, finding the reaction at the hinge A. Here is my annotated diagram, with the reaction and A resolved into it's X and Y components, the force at E labelled as Fe and the length of ED labelled as L. Considering the body...

hello friends i am seek advice on a engineer question (sorry if grammar bad english isn't my first language but i learn) i require to find the moments on a pedal. the pedal is horizonta. as the picture provided the hinge point is at a and there is a support at b. at e a man stands and is 750...

Could I please ask for help with the following question? Four uniform rods of equal length l and weight w are freely jointed to form a framework ABCD. The joints A and C are connected by a light elastic string of natural length a. The framework is freely suspended from A and takes up the shape...

Attached is a Q from an AS mechanics paper. I'm perplexed about part (c) in which we are told that the tensions in the two cables are equal. My physics brain says take moments about the CoM of the beam so eliminating the mass of the beam and making the moments of the two cables equal and...

Is there anyone out there who can help a newbie understand how to deal with Berry phase dipole moment data? I ran a simulation to calculate dipole moments over time using the Berry phase method. The problem is that there are jumps in my data. There is an example at the end of this post (part...

Good morning! I know this may sound a little odd, because there is a theorem regarding it, but i have this question. Basically, a CFD analysis gives me the value of the forces and the moments, as a function of fuselage's orientation, in a particular frame of reference. How can i calculate the...

I couldn't fit in the title, but this is with a hollow circular cross section So currently I am trying to figure what occurs when two, perpendicular bending moments are applied to a hollow circular cross section (one about the z axis, and the other about y). I know that if I was dealing with a...

Summary:: I did the first section but I am having a hard time with the second. would like to find the moment in the next section (from b to h)

I have a problem as shown in the figure So assume there is a cylinder rotating inside a stationally wall. There is a viscous fluid in between the gap of cylinder wall and outer stationary wall, similar to bearing. The fluid has some velocity in axial direction also the outer wall of cylinder...

Say that I have a continouos beam resting on top of column spanning across 3 column. The applied load is UDL on the beam, here's how the BMD look like. My question is whether the connection between the beam and column need to sustain the moment ? Which point need to sustain the moment ? All 3...

Moment about X2 to calculate force at X1: x1 * 9 = (250 * 2) Therefore, x1 = 500/9 = 55.5N The book however gives force at x1 as 110N. So I figured I have not understood a concept somewhere

I think I have done this in an inefficient way. I assumed from the question that the three balances were of equal mass, though I'm not sure if I should have ignored their mass entirely. The correct answer is X = (62 + [2/9]) kg. Please help.

The correct answer is 'B'. I would like some clarification, in regard to the forces that exist in this moments problem. General Queries: 1) Is there friction acting on the hinge in a downward direction (parallel to the wall)? Does the ramp being "smoothly hinged" to the wall mean there is no...

Hi I need help with part d. I think for part q(i) the force is horizontally and constant and equal to what I have found in part c. and for part d(ii) the force is upwards and equal to what I have found in part b.

I have tried this question but can't get my head around to doing part b) This is the sketch I have drawn and I'm guessing 'x' is the distance that I have to fine that's perpendicular to force Fb, though I'm not sure if I have set it up correctly? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Not sure if I answered this question right I took my clockwise moments as +ve and counter-clockwise moments as -ve Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks

1) are all Moments of forces and Moments of couples free vectors? Can I move the moment vector computed about point O to a new point "point B" without changing the system? To elaborate on the question, suppose Resultant Moment about point O is computed using several forces and the position...

My first attempt revolved mostly around the solution method shown in this "site" or PowerPoint: http://physics.gmu.edu/~joe/PHYS685/Topic4.pdf . However, after studying the content and writing down my answer for the monopole moment as equal to ##\sqrt{\frac{1}{4 \pi}} \rho##, I found out the...

The boom is supported by a ball-and-socket joint at AA and a guy wire at BB Hey guys, I am stuck with this question in find the Tension in B and the moments around A. I have done plenty of 2d Tension questions but not a 3D one.

I have the characteristic function of the Cauchy distribution ##C(t)= e^{-(\mid t \mid)}##. Now, how would I show that the Cauchy distribution has no moments using this? I think you have to show it has no Taylor expansion around the origin. I am not sure how to do this.

How can I prove the Cauchy distribution has no moments? ##E(X^n)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty\frac{x^n}{\pi(1+x^2)}\ dx.## I can prove myself, letting ##n=1## or ##n=2## that it does not have any moment. However, how would I prove for ALL ##n##, that the Cauchy distribution has no moments?

Considering a Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiment such as the one in the picture above: It is said that paired photons arriving at the detectors A,B,C,or D, reach the detectors after the entangled pair has reached the interference screen. Are we actually able to measure the time interval...

Hello, I am looking for some help. I have completed the question below. I will show my answers. My answer: I believe this to be correct. If it is not would appreciate someone letting me know so i can correct. Now i am attempting this question: Could anyone help, or point me in the...

Hi To calculate the moment of inertia of a large sphere , I can calculate I for a smaller sphere and then add to it , I for the spherical shell that added to the smaller sphere makes the larger sphere. Does this general process apply to all shapes ? If so , does this process have a name ie. is...

A bending moment about an axis passing through a cross section arises due to an uneven distribution of stress across the cross section, like so: I have read that any given bending moment is equivalent to a force couple applied about that axis. That is to say that the curly moment arrow on a...

I was reading through a set of notes and found something a little odd. The aim is to solve the beam structure shown below, which is massless and of length ##l##. By considering the beam as a whole, we obtain ##A_y = P##, ##A_x = N## and by taking moments about A we see ##M_A = Pl##. However...

I have been throwing everything I can at this. I believe that both the monopole and dipole are zero, but I have no clue as to how to evaluate the quadrupole moment.

I have a quesrion about forming the eqaution of moment equilibrium. As shown in the picture at cut 1 there are 2 vertical forces and a bending moment. I expect V=A. If I apply moment equilibrium about the point where the bending moment is, we get that Ay*x = M(1). But how about if I take moment...

The answer is 127.04g. I’m getting close but can’t get the answer. Using 9.81 for gravity, the force where the balance is is 2.10(58146)N As it is balanced 2.10N x 0.29m = W x 0.50m where 0.50 is the centre of mass That gives W = 1.22N = 124.5g?

Hello, I would like to find a mathematical demonstration of this problem. While I have always used it, I could never prove it. Given a charge or current distribution with axial symmetry the electric and magnetic dipole moment are null: (electric dipole moment) (magnetic dipole moment)and...

Hello all, I was hoping someone could help me calculate the moment a tank wall experiences. I have the following question:- Tank contains water with dimensions: 4m Wide 12m Long 3m Tall Determine the moment at the bottom of the long side at its centre. I have drawn a sketch of the tank and...

And why does it matter if they are extensive or not?

Hello all; I am trying to better understand the idea of Moments. I know how to calculate moments i.e. Distance * Perpendicular Force. My understanding was that moments were any push/pull force that creates a turning action about some point - that is what a moment is to me, I have shown this...

I have the moment of inertia for the core(initial) and full body(final) but my answer for the moment of inertia for the arms(initial) was incorrect. Arms(initial) moment of inertia:(1/12)(6)(1.7^2)=1.445 this is incorrect for some reason Core(initial) moment of inertia: .9558 Full...

##\sum M_{A} = F.(d+d` )-F(d+d` )-F.d## I am getting negative answer. Where I am doing wrong in summing moments for this diagram?

So I let x be the distance from P. I then considered moments about R and got this: 1) (40g)(x-3) = 40gx - 120g and this is anticlockwise 2) (30g)(0.5) = 15g and this is anticlockwise 3) (2.5g)(2) = 5g and this is clockwise And then by equating clockwise and anticlockwise I get this: 40gx -...
