    Collapse and deformation of a circle (tube)

    Hello: I am looking for a formula that can help me determine the collapse and deformation strengths of plastic tubing. I have been scouring the internet for this information and i have yet to find a satsifactory formula. I have found a formula that seems pretty wide spread ~ however it gives me...

    Which is harder to pull apart, a circle or a triangle?

    In deciding which shape of ring I should use to secure an anchor to an anchor trolley I came across two choices, a circular ring or a triangular ring. While either will surely work, I began to wonder which would be more difficult to pull apart. Most of the information I found is about forces...

    Homemade electromagnet, considerations - strength

    I'm making a solenoid electromagnet for gcse demonstration purposes and I'm trying to get a strong:muscle:, clear magnetic effect. I'v wrapped about 100 turns of enamel plated copper wire around a 4" bolt and also a 4" ferrite rod, and am applying 9v DC from a pp3 battery cell. In both cases...

    Maximizing Strength: Square Tubing on Fulcrums

    Interesting project. I was going to post my question as a standalone but I'll post it here first, as you refer to square aluminum tubing. I've got a 2 foot long steel square tube, not a rod. If I were to place it on two fulcrums -- one on each end -- and hang a weight from the middle of the...

    Calculating the magnetic field strenght at x distance

    The configuration is hall sensor --- steel rod(3mm radius) --- magnet. Im trying to make a non mechanical endswitch for a sliding lid and want to determine on what magnets to get and how far apart the hall sensor and the magnet should be for it to work in the proper range. The hall chip...

    Magnetic field strenght - confusion here

    I'm not sure how magnetic field strenghts and dipoles work. I know that the strenght decreases by 1/r^3, but - isn't magnetic field strenght a constant inherent to the magnet? - if it is not constant, what is? - how is all this related to magnetic damping force?

    Recieved Signal Strenght Indicator (RSSI) with obstacles

    Hi there, I'm trying to design a positioning system that makes use of RSSI. When a wireless signal would propagate through a human body, the signal strength would be weaker than when it wouldn't have to overcome any obstacles. My question is: would this difference in signal strength be...

    Field Strenght Tensor and its Dual (in SR)

    Hello everyone, I have recently read a puzzling statement on my Electromagnetism (Chapter on Special Relativity) material regarding the Field Strength Tensor, F^{\mu\nu}, and its dual, \tilde{F}^{\mu\nu}. Since I've been thinking about this for a while now, and still can't understand it, I...

    How Strong Does a Fishing Line Need to Be to Stop a Drifting Salmon?

    Homework Statement The tension at which a fishing line snaps is commonly called the line's “strength.” What minimum strength is needed for a line that is to stop a salmon of weight 78 N in 13 cm if the fish is initially drifting horizontally at 3.1 m/s? Assume a constant deceleration...

    Strenght of Magnetic Field Produced by Coax Cable?

    Hello, could someone tell me what the strength would be of the magnetic field produced by a coaxial cable that is supplying high-speed internet? Could you put it into perspective, as in comparing it to the strength of a magnet field of something else, say a standard household 110v line...

    Strenght of Square Tubing on a trailer

    I am considering purchasing a type of three car gooseneck trailer. The question is the "main" beams of the trailer are 4" X 4" X 3/16", this seems a little flimsy to me. I measured them and they are 41' long then take a 43" jog vertical, then another 50" horizontal. Typical goosneck style,the...

    Problem nº1 from Strenght of Materials by J.P. Den Hartog (1949)

    Homework Statement A propeller shaft in the largest and most powerful ships transmits about 50,000 hp. Assume that the propeller transforms this power into a forward push on the ship with an efficiency of 70 per cent and that the ship's speed then is 30 knots (1 knot is 6,080 ft/hr). The...

    Strenght of magnetic fields on magnet

    In lab, we used a bar magnet and a device that can measure magnetic fields. We put the measuring device near the north part of the pole and it measured 9T. We did the same to the south, but it gave us 75T. I was expecting it to give somewhere around -9T, is that what is suppose to happen? We...
