    Construction How to cut a board so that it can be bent spherically?

    Example of normal application: What i'd like to achieve: More information: Wedi board serration either straight or angled depending on radii wanted. It's also possible to serrate outwards to achieve radii less than 200mm (example from ThermaSheet) Any ideas on how to do this?

    Is ΔUL equal to ΔUR in this case?

    Hello, thanks for the attention. Well, knowing that the only acting force is the gravitational force, I stated that ##U=-MgH## for the ##M## mass block and that ##U=mgh## for the ##m## mass block. After that I divide the two and got the relationship for the alternative "a". For alternative "b" I...

    Why Is Angular Momentum Not Conserved When a Cylinder Moves on a Stopping Board?

    I've been trying to solve it mainly through conservation of momentum and angular momentum, appareantly it's not correct. My idea was: I, Moment of inertia = 0.5*m*r^2 L1, initial angular momentum = I * v/r After a board stops, the change in it's momentum is M*v, so the impulse of torque on the...

    Diving Board Torque with No Mass Given For the Diver

    The board is 4m and has 2 supports: support 1 exerts 5400N and support 2 exerts 6000N before the diver performs the dive. Neglecting the mass of the board, what is the force on the board due to the weight of the diver? My attempt at this question: FS2 - FS1 = 6000 - 5400 = 600N But I'm having...

    What happens with the puck in a non inertial board?

    I'm not being extremely exact here, but suppose there's a puck in a board where there's very little friction. Both puck and board are at rest. Suppose the board starts from rest to some decent speed, so there's definitely this acceleration, by virtue of which (and also less friction), puck...
