Where Can I Find a Website for Advanced Mechanics Help?

AI Thread Summary
For advanced mechanics help, users recommend seeking out specialized websites and books, as many online resources may not provide adequate explanations. One participant is developing a website focused on classical mechanics, featuring real-world application problems suitable for first-year university students. Users are encouraged to share specific questions in the forum's homework help section for targeted assistance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of solid resources, with a preference for books over websites for in-depth learning. Overall, finding reliable online support can enhance understanding of complex mechanics topics.

Im looking for a good website that explains topics in mechanics to high A level/first year University standard. Because currently I just get stuck on a question at Uni and I don't really know what to do to find the answer.

Well done, you have suceeded in finding a good website already.

What books do you have on mechanics? I don't really recommend websites over book in anything apart from quick references. They are generally crap to learn from and explanations are taken from books anyway.

What is it you are having a problem with? (on the off chance I do know of a good website to help)

And if you get stuck, post the question and your attempt at a solution on the homework help section on this very forum.
 
I'm currently building a website that focuses on classical mechanics. It covers problems taken from real world applications, so you might find it helpful. Most of the material is first year level, but some is more advanced.

I'm not sure I can post the link here, but if you click on my name you'll get a pull down menu which allows you to go to my webpage.

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...
