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

AI Thread Summary
To rearrange the formula μ = Fx/uA for velocity (u), multiply both sides by u to obtain qu = Fx/A, then divide both sides by q to isolate u, resulting in u = Fx/Aq. The discussion emphasizes the importance of patience when seeking help, as immediate follow-ups can violate forum rules. Users are encouraged to adhere to the guidelines regarding post bumps. This exchange highlights both the mathematical manipulation needed for fluid mechanics and the etiquette of forum participation. Clear communication and respect for community norms are essential in collaborative problem-solving.

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

bump... Some help please!
 
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.
