    More advanced FBD problems-need some tips

    More advanced FBD problems--need some tips! Okay, just got assigned 3 more FBD-based problems with which I not only have to do the normal calculations, but also use various computer programs of choice for additional calculations, plots, etc. As such, these are a bit more advanced than the FBD...

    Solving Equilibrium Problems: FBD Drawings

    Okay, started these problems with just the FBD drawing parts, but need some more clues as to how to go about starting them, i.e., just what equations/order is used to set them up, etc.: 1) Supposed to write the 6 equations of equilibrim, so, for example, is this what I need to do...

    FBD Clarification: Elevator Acceleration and Forces

    Hey, i need some insight for free body diagrams. Say your in an elevator and your nomral wieght is 500N and there also is a scale. The scale starts to read 450N. Which means it would be accelrating downwards. So for the FBD, 500N would be in the middle. Then would there be an arrow pointing...

    FBD and what forces should I include?

    In the following situation, how should I draw a FBD and what forces should I include? A metal rod has a string coming out of one end. The other end of the string is attached to a small mass. The metal rod undergoes spinning action by the hand so that the string with the mass attached spins...

    Drawing FBD for object inside elevator

    I got alittle confused on something... say an elevator is moving downward and its speed decreases. If you are drawing a FBD of a block inside the elevator, there are only two forces acting on the block, normal force from the elevator floor and weight force. But since elevator is decreasing...

    Proving Triangle AEF = Triangle FBD: A Puzzling Problem

    I can't figure out this problem Lets take triangle ABC A B C a median (D) goes from A to the midpoint of BC a median (E) goes from B to the midpoint of AC Prove that triangle AEF = triangle FBD Since a median divides up a triangle you know that triangle ABD = triangle...
