AI Thread Summary
To calculate the moment of area for a rotated beam with an applied force, it's essential to determine the angles related to the neutral axis (N.A.) and the force direction. The beam's rotation of 220 degrees must be accurately represented in the diagram to facilitate the calculation of Mxx, Myy, and Theta.n.a. Understanding the force components is crucial, especially if the applied force is 20kN. Properly identifying these angles will help in applying the correct formulas for the moment of area. Accurate diagram representation and angle calculation are key to solving the problem effectively.

Hey

May seem like a h/w question, infact i can't remember how to do it, and just need a push in the right direction?

I am trying to complete the diagram but don't really know how to put the angles into the diagram.

The beam was rotated 220 degrees from its first state, (1) in the diagram, to (2).

From memory i feel i need to put 2 angles, one for the N.A. and one for the force, but like i say, mind has gone blank on this one.

I am trying to figure out Mxx and Myy and Theta.n.a

I know the formulas, but not sure on what my angles should be to take into account the rotation and the force.

Thanks

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
