    Flight Mechanics - Range and Payload calculations

    I have put these as my answers (online homework), and my three values for range are wrong. Values for payload (1400, 200, 0) are correct. The only thing that I can spot that might be the reason is that we are given CL(max) in the known variables. Perhaps I am supposed to use it in the range...

    Flight Mechanics - Range and Payload calculations

    Homework Statement Assume that m(fuel, climb) = 1300kg is the mass of fuel required for the climb to the cruising altitude of 10,000m, independently of the take-off weight. Assume that the distance covered during the climb is always 100km. Consider the typical payload-range diagram shown and...

    Find Axial Force at X: Structural Analysis Problem

    I actually don't know, I've confused myself. At point B the axial force along BC is downwards, so axial force in X is opposite which means it should be tension doesn't it? I put the answer 5.08 into the online test that I had to do and I got it wrong...

    Find Axial Force at X: Structural Analysis Problem

    Which right hand part do you mean I could have isolated, from point X to C? It would be compression I think, so should be -5.08?

    Find Axial Force at X: Structural Analysis Problem

    Homework Statement I have to find axial force at X for the following structure: https://i.imgur.com/8o01fkC.jpg The Attempt at a Solution These are my workings https://imgur.com/JfSfk9Z https://imgur.com/3HuDN4d I didn't work out moments because the question only asks for axial force, is...

    [Mechanics] Friction decelerating a helicopter rotor assembly

    Homework Statement A Chinook helicopter’s rotor blades and hub have a top speed of 300 revs/min and a combined mass of 300 kg. On a maintenance test the blade assembly is allowed to stop without applying the brake, in this condition the blades take 48 seconds to come to a standstill. The...

    V2 of two symmetrical T attenuator pads in cascade

    Homework Statement http://imgur.com/qBXvrGz Above is a sketch of the circuit, a two stage symmetrical attenuator consisting of two symmetrical T attenuator pads connected in cascade, with the values that I have worked out for the resistors. The reduction is 15dB in the first stage, and 8dB in...

    Electronics - Have I found the transient current correctly?

    So to clarify, it makes sense that the current flows in the opposite direction around the circuit when the supply voltage is switched off and the capacitor is discharging, when compared to the current direction when the supply voltage is switched on?

    Electronics - Have I found the transient current correctly?

    I wasn't quite sure about q_0 = VC ; if I should use 120v or 0v as the voltage supply has been switched off.

    Electronics - Have I found the transient current correctly?

    Homework Statement A step voltage of 120v is applied to a series CR circuit. C = (4x10^(-6))F R = (20x10^(3))Ω When the capacitor is fully charged the supply voltage is removed. Using KVL and Laplace transforms obtain an equation for the transient circuit current, given when t = 0, the voltage...

    Area between 2 curves, Volume around X and Y, Centroid

    g(x)= √(19x) = upper curve f(x)= 0.2x^2 = lower curve Firstly, I found the point of intersection, which would later give the upper values for x and y. x=7.802 y=12.174 Then I found the area under g(x) and took away the area under f(x) to get the area between the curves. 31.67 units^2 This is...

    [Calc] First max and min values of an underdamped oscillation

    Ok thank you! I guess I was looking into it too much.

    [Calc] First max and min values of an underdamped oscillation

    I do understand the equation, so: x = (arctan(21/22) + 1π)/3 I'm just stuck with how to know what n equals. I know this is dumb because it's probably the simplest part of the whole task, thanks for being patient.
