there is a surface on the left, it is just a quick diagram. The question is: Is the Fspring the resultant force (hypotenuse) of the triangle or just the x vector. I'm thinking it should be the resultant since it is the only applied external force , so it as to be the greatest force. (I know...
Hey guys, how are you?
I feel so stupid right now, I'm having a hard time getting my mind straight, which of the two resultant force diagram on the right is right? Typically its a slider with a ball and spring that slides on a recess (cam type). I want to know the force required on the slider...
Hey guys,
i'm building an apparatus with a sliding pin containing a spring and a ball. I want to lock in two different positions so I've rounded two slots in the housings. I would like to know what is the equation two find the normal force of the spring on the ball depending on the displacement...
Hey guys, I'm making a test jig that needs to simulate a train caliper. The test jig consist of an arm that rotates 90 degrees. The jig must give a certain amount of torque at every degrees (see graph below). I was thinking on making a cam with an eccentric roller follower and die spring. The...
