Analysis Failure Pin Static

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on the static failure analysis of a pin where a hook attaches to an arm. Participants express confusion about the presence of shear and torque at the connection point. It is noted that the hook appears to rotate around the pin, suggesting the pin acts as an axis. One opinion is that the torque at this point is zero. The analysis aims to clarify the forces acting on the pin in this configuration.

So i am confused on how to do the analysis on the pin where the hook attaches to the arm.

would their be a shear and a torque at that point?

Based on this photo, it appears that the hook is allowed to rotate, with the pin serving as an axis. IMO, torque = 0.

Thread 'Light speedup question'

If light travels in a wave, couldn't we "speed it up" by making it travel in a straight line?

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
