    Applying mechanics to a mechanic

    Dear smart people, I am not so smart but consider myself above the average mechanic. However i have come across information from highly respeced racing mechanics that i can't make sense of. I have researched this subject for a while and it seems everyone gets it but me It involves the...

    Fluid mechanic, Total pressure

    When I blow some air though two pieces of paper, the experience told me that two pieces of paper will move toward each other. However, there should be work done by me on the air I blowed that changes its total pressure. As there is a work done, we cannot simply apply Bernoulli's equation. So...

    Erwin Schroedinger: Prof of Physics, Quantum Mechanic & Equation Theorist

    Schroedinger, Erwin! Professor of physics! Wrote daring equations! Confounded his critics! (Not bad, eh? Don't worry. This part of the verse Starts off pretty good, but it gets a lot worse.) Win saw that the theory that Newton'd invented By Einstein's discov'ries had been badly dented...

    Reactions in the mechanic construction

    Hi I am trying to figure out reactions in the mechanic construction which is here http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v309/Andreii/nalogca.jpg" . Datas of construction are: L1 = 7.1m L2 = 1m L3 = 0.2m F = 2.8 kN = 2800N M = 1.3 kNm = 1300Nm (this is torque) p = 2.5 kN/m = 2500 N/m p...

    Suggestions for improving mechanic energy project?

    We have to choose project in school about the lessons we take. I chose physics, and decided to compose the project about mechanic energy. Actually I purposed to explain the formulas with a simple experiment. In my idea, we leave the ball (enough highness) with no velocity into a big...
