Hi fellow PF members, I am an undergrad physics student in the last year of my degree. This year has been pretty sh**** as I have been rejected from 17/17 US universities that I had applied to for a PhD program. As a good and organized scientist though I had a backup plan. As I didn't really...

Homework Statement There is a section in my book that has the same title as the title of this discussion topic. I understand the math just fine, so this is a conceptual question. In the book the cross section is shaped and oriented like a C, and it shows the shear flow flowing...

When browsing the forums and interacting with people, do you picture them in your head as being similar to their avatars? For example every time I think of Phinds I picture a big smelly dog licking my face. No Phinds! NO! Down! And Evo is a young maiden with long hair swinging slowly in a...

This is my first post on any message board so bare with me on any grammatical errors I make in the post. I will be heading into my senior year of high school and I plan on majoring in physics. But I live in a rather rural community and high school courses aren't considered challenging. We have...

Hello! I have this thermodynamical expression: dS=\sigma T^3 dV+4V\sigma T^2 dT+\frac{1}{3}\sigma T^3 dV=d(\frac{4}{3}\sigma T^3 V) Basically saying: \frac{4}{3}\sigma T^3 V=S Now, I do not get this.. d(expr) part, why are there three members to d(expr), with 2x dV and 1x dT.. nope...

Do you recognize other PF members?? Here are 8 quotes of PF members. Can you tell which member made which quote?? 1) Welcome to the PF 2) Well, for a while one of the biggest problems in experimental quantum mechanics was figuring out what to do with the mounds of dead cats out behind the...

Hi guys i have a exam coming up soon and stress is starting to kick in. I am good with stress and strain, but I am just confused on this question and don't understand what i need to be doing. I've tried every formula and i just can't seem to get question 5 out. The answears for this question is...

is there a simple way to determine the section modulus of a member made of a W and WT shape welded together, one on top of another about the x-axis. the steel manual has the properties for the individual sections; would the section modulus of each be able to be added together or will i have to...

Homework Statement Homework Equations torque = force x distanceThe Attempt at a Solution words: hopefully this one is clearer than the last one and someone can follow what I did and figure out where I went wrong. Thanks. Answer is Ffg=5kn T, Ffh = 20 kn T (only these two members are being...

Hi, I am trying to come up with a formula that will generate a price based on its cost. The only trick is that it can't be something constant like 20% or 30% more than the cost. It has to be a formula that adds a bigger profit on smaller numbers and lower profit on bigger numbers. So on a...

It was reported by 60 minutes that members of Congress may have benefited personally from information gained during the course of their work. This behavior is strictly prohibited on Wall Street - should the same rules apply to elected officials...

Homework Statement So I'm trying to do this problem right now. For the most part, I feel like I have 80% of the work done (in terms of finding certain unknowns etc) but I have no idea how to incorporate the θ=3°. What I mean is, what kind of equation can I set up that includes the angle...

HOW MANY PACKETS DO I HAVE TO BUY? Hi all, I'm posing this question because I'm interested in the answer from a purely theoretical point of view - I'm not going to go out and test the answer afterwards, and it's not for my homework (I last did homework more than 10 years ago)...

I have read many discussions on PF and it is a great resource. The members are very helpful to answer all types of questions and give their input. Unfortunately when dealing with responses to questions posed by "inexperienced" and overambitious (usually young) members it is easy to be to...

Homework Statement As shown, a load of magnitude P is applied to a structure. Assuming that all members are weightless and that ABEF and BCD are rigid bodies, find the magnitudes of the reactions at D and G needed to maintain the structure in equilibrium...

When I used to lurk around this forum about 2 years ago, I was frequently seeing users by the name of: - Chroot - Cyrus - a few others that I do not remember the name, but were fairly popular... Which leads me to ask what is the typical lifespan* of a PF member? *By lifepan I mean how many...

I've had to conduct an experiment with strain gauges attached to each member and when I've calculated the forces in the members I've come out with really large forces in comparison to the applied force.. how does this work out?

Homework Statement See attachment. Homework Equations Sum of Fx, Fy, and Moments=0 The Attempt at a Solution A and B are pins, so there is a x and y component at each of these points. Cable has same tension on either side, 1200. Take the moment at A to be zero...

Hi people new to this forum but i need some help on my thread design. I've been browsing the net for some time to try and find some help on the design of this but have not found much. My problem is i have a tubular member of 250mm outer and 100mm inner diameters that is subjected to an axial...

Hi gang. I need some help with a technical issue. I am an avid mountain biker, and one of the forums I post on has an ongoing discussion of whether or not the bottom spokes in a bicycle wheel support the load, or the upper spokes support the load. In a typical wheel the spokes are...

I missed it! We probably broke 250K last Thursday.

Hi all, Trying to design a simple gate for the side of our house and in order to select the size of the square tube for the frame, I need to calculate the forces in the members of the frame. I have tried the method of sections and joints, however both do not seem to work. My next...

please see the attached image, I'm supposed to find the internal force in each member of the truss. I used moments to find My=40 and Gy=120, I then moved on to FBD of joint G where I found Fgh=30kN in tension, and Fga=50kN in compression, next I did joint A to find Fab=30kN in tension...

Hi, I have a rather simple question, how does a binary system with a common center of gravity affect the gravity on both members of the system. If we have a case of a single planet and ignore the star it orbits, the center of gravity should be in the dead middle of that planet. If we...
