How to determine position vector.

AI Thread Summary
Determining the signs for a position vector depends on the reference point chosen, typically the axis of rotation or the point of application of force. The position vector is defined from the point of application of force to the axis of rotation. Understanding the direction and magnitude of the vector is crucial for accurate calculations. Further clarification may be needed to address specific scenarios or applications. For more detailed guidance, researching Kane's notation can provide additional insights.

Hi guys.I n moment,Im confused as to how to determine the signs that go next to the position vector.On what thing do they depend?Do we take the position vector from point of application of force to axis of rotation or otherwise?EDIT:If I am not being specific enough please say so guys.I really need to know this.

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
