Now if it was something like this:

I would say sigma_CD = 10(theta) and sigma_FH = 30(theta) and all would be good.
But since it's like this:

I have another variable in...

Homework Statement
A horizontal uniform bar of mass m and length L is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to the end of the bar and string 2 is attached a distance L/4 from the other end. A monkey of mass m/2 walks from one end of the bar to the other. Find the...
Also, for the problem you posted, you forgot to multiply by 1/2
That I did. So I have the correct answer now, and I'm pretty sold on the concept of Moment of Inertia. I had already read up a bit on it, but it was a simple calculation error that had me thrown off the whole time.
What if the...

A 13cm diameter CD has a mass of 25 g.
What is the CD's moment of inertia for rotation about a perpendicular axis through its center?

So for my work...
B = (-3, 0, 1) and
C = (-3, -3, 6)
So... 9 + 0 + 6 = 15
15 * 2 = 30
...I could have sworn that's what I was doing all along, but for some reason I kept getting 60 for my answer. Hmm.
Anyways, thanks greatly for any and all help!
Attached is a .jpg of my problem.
I know how to find the scalar product of B*C (I think... 5, right?), but I don't really know where the 2 and 3 come into play. I've tried multiplying the values of C by 3 and then finding the scalar product, then multiplying the quantity by two, but that was...
Homework Statement
A concrete highway curve of radius 80.0 m is banked at a 13.0 degree angle.
What is the maximum speed with which a 1400 kg rubber-tired car can take this curve without sliding? (Take the static coefficient of friction of rubber on concrete to be 1.0.)
