The main aim of doing this is, i want to perform modal analysis on the shaft of the fan, and i want to also include the resultant force and the moment acting on the shaft of the fan due to the motion on the pulley. I will attach the formulas that i found and also system image. Can you guys...

my answer was c but i didn't understand why the work done in 16m or 12m wont be the greatest? how would we calculate work done in 12 m and 16 m??

The question was this: My calculations show that the answer should be equal to work done on crate to make it reach the same velocity which is equal to 216 J but the answer given is 432 J It is believed that extra energy is needed to overcome friction but friction is an internal force and...

When I read about formation of solar systems it seems reasonable to me that most of the material would end up lying in a plane because the number of collisions and interactions would be least and the most stable situation in a common orbital plane in the long run. (Is this a far too simplistic...

What I did was find the total area of the space between the Kirkwood gaps and the area occupied by the asteroids (assuming they all had a 100m radius). I subtracted the two to get the area that is empty in that region. To find the average empty area between asteroids I divided this by the...

Ideally, it should look circa like this: But in reality, it looks often like this: Is the formula valid also in this case?

Let say a package is entering a conveyor belt (velocity ##w##) at zero initial velocity ##v## in the direction of the conveyor. Initially the package slips as its being accelerated (from rest) to conveyor belt speed. A linear drag force seems reasonable to me for a model: $$ \beta( \mu, N ) (...

I have following setup where a non-elastic belt is wrapped around an elastic object, like leather belt around waist. When I pull the belt with force F, it tightens around the elastic object and the belt exerts force to the elastic object. I would like to know what is the relationship between the...

What is the distance between the objects in the Kuiper belt? Is the density of objects high and the probability of a spacecraft colliding with objects in this area?

Here is my depiction of the initial state: Note that the presence of ##f_k## means the ball is initially slipping. We also know that the linear and angular speeds of the ball are increasing in time. At some point, the ball should stop slipping. The condition for no slipping is that the speed...

So far I have: The velocity of the belt will be the same for pully A and D, so we can calculate the angular velocity of pulley D: ## V_A = V_B ## ## \omega_A r_A = \omega_D r_D ## ## ((20*3)+40)(0.075) = \omega_D (0.025) ## ## \omega_D = 300 Rad/s ## My next step was to determine the angular...

Hi everybody, first message on this forum ! I am building a machine for a friend who works with cardboard pulp, he is also a performance artist and would like a machine where 2 or 3 performers can activate the machine by hand with pulleys and wheels, and shred the pieces of cardboard that are...

For question, in the solution when setting up the moment equation, why does the solution use Fa and Fb? Friction is coefficient times normal force and that can be found with the info given so why does the solution take it to be an variable?

Hello All Typical 'artist's impressions' of the Asteroid Belt show a large density of matter, see the attached view. Many unmanned spacecraft (and hopefully soon some manned ones) have crossed this belt, without encountering any asteroids, so how close is this view to the truth? Is there any...

I can understand how it can be explained using the change of momentum to find the average force on the belt, then us $$P=Fv$$ to get the power. What I didn't understand is why the energy solution won't work. If in 1 second, sand with mass m has fallen on the belt and accelerated to speed v...

Given 4 spaceships are pulling an elastic rubber membrane with constant speed and slow velocity into an asteroid belt. - In that way, that they all start in empty space and have a constant low speed of say 50km/h as they reach the belt. - The four edges of the membrane are tied to one of the...

Please scroll-down to Q50: https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/files/publications/engineering_s1_qp_2017.pdf The correct answer is 'B', or 'mgsin(Θ)'. I put 'E', or 'μmgcos(Θ)'. There are unofficial worked solutions which I have been referring to when I have attempted the question and...

Torque on driver T = 2300N x .2m = 460Nm Torque on drum T=2300N x .6m T = 1380Nm Not sure how to calculate friction force on these...Do we have to assume a contact angle of 180 degrees if nothing is given or is that even required? Not sure what a free body diagram would look like for this.

As a boy (probably about 1959/60) I read a book on astronomy which among other things briefly discussed Pluto . The author noted that it had been discovered as a result of discrepancies in the orbital motions of Uranus and Neptune, but was far too small to be the cause of these. Among other...

Hi, I am looking for some guidance on how to approach this calculation. I have an air cylinder operating a lever assembly that then applies pressure to a pulley of which a belt is wrapped around. I need the belt to have about 4500 lbs of tension. How do I work backwards to figure the required...

I found this diagram, How does the belt tension arise? I would assume it be exerted by belt elements on either side (i.e. unbalanced tension forces due to curvature around the pulley), but that's not clear from this diagram. Also, just to make sure I'm not going crazy, why have they drawn...

Hello everybody, I am a master student in Theoretical Chemistry and I am working in the DFT realm. Both TDDFT and DFT applied to extended systems (eg. using QUANTUM ESPRESSO). Of course I work with these softwares from a end-user point of view, not as a developer. But anyway, even if some of...

Hey, I'm trying to create a mechanism consisting of multiple rollers connected with belt, moving in the same linear direction with acceleration a, but I got stuck in finding the relationship between the forces and acceleration. I even got confused in building the FBD of only two rollers. The...

Hi. I assume that vector summation of the centrifugal forces acting on the belt, on pulley A and B, equals to zero. Is Centrifugal force on pulley A static or dynamic force? What would, hypothetically, happen if the sum centrifugal forces acting on the belt are not zero? Could some kind of...

A) Before passing by ##A## the forces acting are weight and normal force. Then, after passing by that point you have (Tangential direction) ##W_t-Fr=m.a_t## (Normal direction) ##-N+W_n=m.\omega ^2 .r## Also, as the packages don't slide, we can say that ##a_t=0## Are these ideas okay? B) When...

I have a series of pulleys where the belt is running around them in a way to describe a sine curve. The pulleys are stationary and the belt is running from left to right. For every particle of the belt I can use standard formula to calculate their normal acceleration, when in contact with the...

First off, I was wondering if the acceleration of the conveyor belt can be considered a force. And I'm not exactly sure how to use Newton's second law if the object of the forces is itself on an accelerating surface. Also, I don't know whether it rolls with or without slipping. I thought I could...

I see that most planets rotate around the sun in a horizontal circle, except for Pluto. My question is about the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. Are they horizontal or like a dome? As in can an object go “above” and “below” them in a totally open space? Also ... is it known and confirmed...

Hello I am designing a shaft and it will be powered via belt pulley system. The ideal RPM of the shaft is 8000 RPM. How do I calculate the natural frequency of the timing belt to ensure resonance is never met? From what I read online it has to do with belt pretension, but even then I am little...

In my textbooks, the Asteroid Belt has always been illustrated as a circle. Is this animation accurate? https://i.imgur.com/LXR0Ulq.gifv It never occurred to me that the belt might might be intimately connected with the Trojans. Well ... my learning about the Asteroid Belt and my learning...

We know that belt drives are limited in their max possible power rating and most high power/torque applications(trucks) use gear drives. I wanted to know the main factor that limits the power/torque rating of belts. Is it Frictional slip or Belt material? If the frictional slip could be...

Have not been here for many years. I am a retired chemical engineer who loves to work on cars but I know my limitations! Subaru uses two timing belt designs on their 2.5 SOHC non turbo engines. The Forester/Impreza platform uses a modified curvilinear belt and the Legacy/Outback platform uses a...
