How Do You Rearrange the Formula μ = Fx/uA to Solve for Velocity?

[Eddie e30]

Hi folks I am currently doing a question in fluid mechanics and i need some help rearranging formula to solve the equation... I have everyhting i just can't seem to figure how to make u( Velocity) the subject of the equation...

The equation is μ = Fx/uA

Thanks in advance
Eddie

From q=Fx/uA:

- Multiply both sides by u to get:
qu=Fx/A

- Then divide both sides by q to get:
u=Fx/Aq

Hope it helps. And it might be an idea to be polite mate, not every question can get answered with 30 mins!

Bumping after just a few minutes is against the PF rules (see the Rules link at the top of the page). You must wait at least 24 hours before you use a single bump if the thread has no replies.

Hi Eddie,

I'm happy to help with your question in fluid mechanics. To rearrange the formula to solve for velocity (u), we can start by isolating the u on one side of the equation.

To do this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by uA, which will cancel out the uA on the right side. This leaves us with μuA = Fx.

Next, we can divide both sides by μA to get u = Fx/μA. This gives us the equation for velocity (u) in terms of the other variables in the equation.

I hope this helps and good luck with your fluid mechanics question! Let me know if you have any other questions.
