    Revision Stuck
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a revision question where the user is struggling to derive the answer of 112KN. It highlights the importance of having information on the areas of the cylinders involved in the calculation. A participant notes that while lengths are provided, they may not be relevant aside from buckling considerations. Additionally, there is a mention of a calculated area ratio of 7/16 between the two cylinders. The conversation encourages sharing previous attempts to identify any mistakes in the approach.

You need to have some sort of information on the areas.
 
Which is funny because he has lengths which aside from buckling don't seem to serve any purpose.
 
You didn't give the areas, but by my calculations, it looks like the ratio of the areas of the two cylinders is 7/16. Is that right?

Let's see what you've tried so far and maybe we can spot your error.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
