AI Thread Summary
To solve the engineering practice problem for a pin-connected frame, it is recommended to treat the structure as two separate entities due to the central pin. Participants emphasize the importance of creating Free Body Diagrams (FBDs) to visualize forces acting on each section. The discussion highlights the need to apply 2D equilibrium equations, specifically focusing on force and moment calculations. Clarifications on assumptions regarding force equilibrium are encouraged to ensure accuracy in solving the problem. Properly documenting the work is essential for receiving further assistance.

Have identified what i need to find, but not sure how to proceed since there is a pin in the centre, do I treat it as two separate structures?

Welcome to PF.

Per the PF Rules, you need to show your work before we can help. So yes, start by treating it as two separate structures and show the FBDs please. Thank you.

this is what I have, then based on this i was thinking that i could assume this:

Does that look right?
 
Sure. That is the force equilibrium for the right part. What else can you deduce?

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
