Help with Drawing Momentum with Virtual Method

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenge of drawing momentum using the virtual method in the context of a triangular frame subjected to an applied force. Participants are attempting to clarify the problem and provide guidance on how to present the question effectively.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested, Homework-related, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses confusion about the drawing and its relevance to the forum's focus.
  • Another participant suggests that the original poster should post in the homework forum and use a specific template to clarify their question and facilitate assistance.
  • A participant describes the frame as having a force applied and questions what moment is to be calculated about which axis.
  • Another participant critiques the quality of the initial question, implying that it lacks sufficient detail and clarity for effective assistance.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the initial question lacks clarity and detail, but there is no consensus on the specifics of the problem being posed or how best to address it.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the lack of a clear diagram or description of the frame and the applied forces, which may hinder understanding and responses.

Hello guys

I'm struggling a bit with drawing momen/[M_o], to this "frame". I will be using virtual Method.
So, could you you have corrected me if it's wrong?

This is not a forum on abstract visual arts.

I have no idea what the drawing is about.
 
Hello Feeno, :welcome:

My first reaction was comparable to Krylov's. But that doesn't help you, so here are a few tips:
Post in the homework forum and use the template there. It helps you explain what you are doing and helps us estimate how we can help you as good as possible.

You draw a triangluar frame (mass?) that rests on two supports and has a force P applied. And want to find an expression for what moment about what axis ?

Usually I try to be less cynical, but this particular "diagram" reminded me of an expression about throwing a certain substance on the wall and hoping that some of it sticks. Please, if you ask a question, no matter which level, make an effort to ask it properly.
