Forces Rod

AI Thread Summary

To determine the tension in a tie rod subjected to a 50kN load, one must analyze the forces acting on the system, including the geometry of the setup. Calculating the angles and using trigonometric relationships can help resolve the forces into components. It's essential to apply equilibrium equations to solve for the tension accurately. Engaging with the community in the Homework forum can provide additional insights and guidance. Properly demonstrating initial attempts at solving the problem will likely yield more constructive feedback.

Where load P = 50kN.

I need to find the Tension in the tie rod, (1).

I am unsure how to tackle this problem.

Any help would be great!

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
