    Calculate the gravitational field strength

    From the radius (1740 km) and mass (7.36 X 10^22 kg) of the moon, calculate gravitational field strength for this body. g = F/m = F/(7.36X10^22 kg) F = GmM/r^2 = (6.67X10^-11)(7.36X10^22)M/(1740X10^3)^2 What is the big M?

    Find the yield strength for an elastomer

    Hey, Just wondering, how would you find the yield strength for an elastomer just from the engineering stress-strain curve. My professor said its complix and different books have different ways of finding it. Any ideas?

    How Can Good Management Balance Strengths and Weaknesses?

    I'm proposing that everything has equal advantages and disadvantages. Good management is having strengths affect critcal spots and weaknesses affect non-critical spots. There are a lot of real-world examples (as politics shows), so I won't go about posting them here. Also no one can know...

    Infinite strength and infinite weight

    By the laws of scaling, what would it be like if an object with infinite strength (which does not exist) would try to support an object with infinite weight (also does not exist. I know, this is one of those 'this cannot happen because it is a paradox' things so please forgive me)

    Strain rate effects on steel strength

    I was wondering exactly how yield and tensile strength increases with increasing levels of strain rate for a typical steel grade? I understand dislocations are generated during straining (work hardening), but what happens at higher strain rates which increases the strength?

    Does Bond Length Always Equal Bond Strength?
