SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving for the variable 'd' in the equation derived from Mechanics of Materials. The equation presented is 510/7.6 = 8.25/((pi/4)*d^2). To isolate 'd', one must utilize inverse operations, multiplying both sides by (pi/4) and then dividing by 8.25, followed by taking the square root of the result. This method effectively leads to the solution for 'd' as outlined in the discussion.

mechanics of matericals ... algebra question

I'm currently in Mechanics of Materials and I have reduced my problem to something similar to: 510/7.6=8.25/((pi/4)*d^2)

how do I solve for d? I have been given the answer (from the back of the book) but i don't remember how to solve for d...by the way the above numbers are random and not from my text...but it is similar...thx crich

Are you familiar with the concept of inverse operations?
\frac{510}{7.6} = \frac{8.25}{(\pi/4)d^2}
You can multiply the pi/4 to the otherside, divide by 8.25, inverse both sides, then take the square root.
