Force Inclined Plane Surface

AI Thread Summary

The discussion revolves around a homework problem involving an inclined immersed surface with a gate weighing 800 lbf. The primary concern is understanding how the weight of the gate affects the problem, particularly when the hinge is positioned at the midpoint. Participants clarify that the weight contributes to the overall force acting on the gate and influences the equilibrium analysis. It's emphasized that the weight must be considered in calculations to determine the resultant forces and moments. Properly incorporating the weight is essential for solving the problem accurately.

I have a HW problem dealing with an inclined immersed surface. I can work the problem just fine except this problem says that the gate weighs 800lbf, and and don't know what to do with this number. how does it come into play?

this number is useless when hing is in the middle

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. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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?'

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...
