Hi all. Let me preface this by saying that I have no formal education in physics so I apologize if there is any information that I left out. Please comment with questions and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.
The cylinder has a mass of 30 lb, is 6 feet long, and has a...
In principle, the ring is, at any instant, a beam being loaded in the centre, and in a failing state.
Thus, to drive the material continuously through the rollers, Force x Velocity = Work done/time = power.
60.P/2.pi.N = T
The units pan out, but is the concept correct?
The faster the work is...
A torque meter with a triangular slab extension is inserted into a corresponding triangular slot. The C-shaped arm features a V-shaped dent on which a roller is seated. This roller is held in compression by a spring. The roller's positions are labeled '0' for the initial state and '1' for the...
Hello there,
I'm trying to select a tapered roller bearing (TRB) for my actuator, I know the peak axial force that is going to come. I have some radial load as well.
I want to select the TRB based on the axial load, but all the bearing catalogs or most of them give Dynamic and static Load...
Hi
I'm analyzing a tapered roller bearing as part of a differential. I know the shaft is providing input torque of 333.5 N-m @ 4000RPM, and I know the bore size of the bearing, 30mm. I need to find the radial and axial forces given that torque, so I can move on to finding C10, L10, rated load...

The solution to this problem calculates v2 at the top of the roller coaster ride. Why is that? Shouldn't you calculate v2 at the bottom of the roller coaster ride as you require the maximum velocity there to get around the loop?
Two weeks ago, my carry on worked perfectly. But last week the detachable wheels stopped rotating smoothly, when I tried to glide my carry on. The wheels budge JUST A TAD when you push them hard, but it should be EFFORT LESS! Please see two pictures below.
I see nothing jammed in the wheels. I...
For this question i tried to reason with my self that C was the fastest and A was the second fastest. B would be the third fastest and D would be the least fastest since the ball has to go up. I looked up the answer and it says that C is the fastest , B and D are equal, and A is the slowest. How...

Hello. Can someone tell me what area of phisics should I study to better understand this exercise( I ve been looking at kinematics since it asks for the velocity but I can't seem to find where it talks about different points like this) and also what should I do to solve this exercise please?

height to point A is 65m. no friction. comes to rest at point A. total mass of the roller coaster is 650 kg.
the work-energy theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. kinetic energy is E=1/2mv^2. initial velocity is...
Summary:: I am doing my structural analysis homework and I can't seem to identify between pin joint and roller.

I have a machine I am designing that has a carriage supported by Track rollers on a machined flatbar track.
The load that each individual roller will experience could reach 2000lbs. worst case scenario.
The track surface is machined 304L - 1" wide as you can see in the green in the attached...
Why I think gravity *is* the only force doing work on the rider:
1) The only forces acting on the rider are gravity and the normal force. Broken down into their component vectors, we have:
-> The component of the force of gravity moving parallel to the rider's direction of motion
-> The normal...
So, we know that at the bottom of the loop, the car will have a normal force pointing upward and gravity pointing down. However, I have discovered that the normal force is apparently greater than the force due to gravity.
Basically
N = F(g) + ?
What is this other force?
Suppose there are 6 cars on a roller coaster and I synchronize 6 clocks at rest with respect to each other in a box with no wiggle room on the space station. The bottom of the box has the same shape as the curvature of the earth, and the box is always kept "top side up" with respect to the...
So, while we were going up the track, the z-direction gforce seemed to go up. It went from -1 to about -0.6. The x-direction seemed to be around 0, more or less? All x values were under 0.177. The y-direction decreased, more or less, from -0.4 to -0.9.
I think if I understand how the force...
