    Engineering Why does this stress-strain diagram have two curves & x-axis scales?

    But y'know since i'm student i don't really know. I've only just come to ask people who know more than me. I could ask my tutor but it's Saturday.

    Engineering Why does this stress-strain diagram have two curves & x-axis scales?

    Lol what type of question is this? If you're for real -- I was browsing the internet for hw solutions. Came across this problem. The question asks to find the modulus of toughness and resilience. I'm figuring since the above one has actually shows the curve that i'm used to (yield point...

    (Help) Surface charge density (σ) for particle to hit plate...

    I don't know if i'm exactly right. But I started with x(time) = V cos θ t which = (6810 m/s) cos (69.1°) (11.4 * 10^-3 s) is ... 27.69 m & since Electric field due to uniformly charge surface is represented by... E = (q * σ)/(2 * ε_0 * m), and since acceleration (a) can be expressed as F/m...

    What is the purpose of two units of mass in the Imperial system?

    Can't say I use much SI besides in my Physics I & II In most of the classes related to engineering & design. It's almost exclusively in British Units. kip, psi, psf, lbf*in, mile, yard, etc.

    What is the purpose of two units of mass in the Imperial system?

    I'll see pound-mass (lb-m) & slug. I'm an undergrad student and always confuse between the two at times. It seems to me slug is a lot easier to use at times (given its easy conversion into force for most problems) (i.e 1 slug * 1 ft/s^2 = 1 lbf) What's even the point of putting lb-m in most...
