As I get closer to finishing my Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, I'm wondering more and more in what direction I should go for my Master's. I know I want to pursue Renewable and Clean Energy to some extent, but I was wondering if I should also consider Engineering Management, as...
Well, it would really depend on the way that your teacher weights the tests. I had a Statics teacher that had 2 tests for a total of 90% of the grade. Obviously, botching one of those would have been bad news. If the test is less than 30% of the total grade, I wouldn't sweat it. Work your...
I hate to "bump" a thread, but I'm out of options. Literally no one I've talked to can work this out! I desparately need help. This problem is out of Beer's Mechanics of Materials, Sixth Edition, Chapter 3, Problem 55, if that helps.
Homework Statement
Shaft AB is fixed at point A, and has a flange attached at B. Shaft CD is fixed at D, and has a flange attached at C. The flanges at B and C are bolted together, but with bolts that are small enough to allow one shaft to rotate by 1.5^{\circ} before the two begin to rotate...
Your answer is correct. Work is just force acting over a distance. Here, the force is the weight of the person (force of gravity), and the distance is the height of the steps.
