    Gas - cylinder - piston problem

    I just had the realization, is the system with changed gas pressure balanced by changed atmospheric pressure? so before heating it is: Pgas1 Apiston = Patm1Apiston + mpiston+weightg after heating: Pgas2Apiston = Patm2Apiston + mpiston+weightg But it doesn't correlate with understanding that the...

    Timoshenko, Strength of materials example solution

    English is not my first language, so sorry for probably unclear use of words. In the language I learned physics in, we use the term of balancing forces, stresses etc, a lot. I don't really get it still. 1) Why do we only account for deflection due to 1 P in the middle section, when there are...
