    Blue Collar Guy's Guide to Tire Slip Ratio Calc

    Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm searching for help. Is there a simple way for a blue collar guy to use data from his data logging device to calculate longitudinal tire slip ratio? I have g's, driveshaft rpm, time and distance for data. This will be used in a Drag Racing application.

    Can a 500g Glass of Water Tip or Slip?

    Homework Statement A glass of water with a mass of 500 g is being pushed horizontally at thetop across a table. The base is 1.5 cm in diameter and i is 5.0 cm tall. The coefficient of static friction is 0.20. Will it slip or tip? Homework Equations Not entirely sure.The Attempt at a...

    (materials science) slip system

    for the FCC cubic, there are 12 slip systems: 4 {111} planes and 3 <110> directions... what i don't understand is why are there 4{111} planes instead of 1?

    Why Does the Wizard Slip at 7.35 Seconds on a Rotating Platform?

    The wizard has a mass of 80 kg and sits 3 m from the center of a rotating platform. Due to the rotation his speed is increased from rest by \dot{v}\,=\,0.4\,\frac{m}{s^2}. If the coefficient of static friction between his clothes and the platform is \mu_s\,=\,0.3, determine the time requiredto...

    Slip Flow Measurement: Advice & Ideas

    Dear all, I am hereby to get advices. My research topic is appointed to be slip flow measurement. I have read a lot of papers in this area. So far, there is no clear physics definitions on slip length and slip velocity, which are from micro viewpoint instead of macroscale. And there is no...

    How to find the mass of a conveyor belt so that it doesn't slip

    I postet this problem earlier without really getting anywhere so now I'll post the whole thing: A vertical conveyorbelt has two rollers. A mass hangs in the center of the bottom one to make it taut. On this this belt there are small buckets that scoop up sand in the bottom and then empty this...

    What is the minimum mass m that will stick and not slip?

    a block of mass m is resting on a 20degree slope. The block has coefficients of friction mu_s =0.80 and mu_k =0.50 with the surface. It is connected via a massless string over a massless, frictionless pulley to a hanging block of mass 2.0 kg. (sorry didnt know of a way to distribute a picture)...

    What is the purpose of a cover slip?

    What is the purpose of a cover slip? Why do we sometimes put one on a slide even though we are not going to keep that slide froever and will inevitably just throw it away? Why (eg - with temporary blood films) do when use oil instead? Why do we sometimes use coverslips instead of oil?

    What is the minimum angle at which the ladder will not slip?

    a ladder of mass M and length L leans at an angle theta against a frictionless wall. coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground is MU, what is the minimum angle at which the ladder will not slip? this problem sounds fairly simple, but I've been looking at it for the past 20 minutes...

    Metallurgy, slip planes, shock theory

    I read in an old metal working book that when a auto body panel is struck sharply with a hammer that for a microsecond or nanosecond there is a vibration or "shock waves" that allows the grains of metal to slip past one another and re-arrange slight. I am desperately looking for an explanation...
