    Fluid Graph
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying a specific fluid mechanics graph related to the oscillation of a cylinder in uniform flow. The graph features amplitude/diameter on the y-axis and velocity/(natural frequency X diameter) on the x-axis, illustrating the transition from no oscillation to high oscillation and back. Suggestions for further research include searching for "flow around oscillating cylinder" and "Karman Vortex Street," which may yield relevant results. Additionally, exploring the concept of the Strouhal number could provide further insights. This information can aid in understanding the dynamics of fluid flow around oscillating cylinders.

Someone showed me a graph that has to do with how a cylinder oscillates in uniform flow, starting from no oscillation, to high oscillation, back to none. I know the y-axis is amplitude/diameter and the x-axis is velocity / (natural frequency X diameter)

I would just like to find out more information but I don't know where to look. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Try a google search for "flow around oscillating cylinder" ;)
 
That may give you the results you want. I suspect you'll find the root phenomenon faster though if you search for "Karman Vortex Street"
 
Searching Strouhal number may also be of interest.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
