    Strain Gauge Angle Homework question.

    Thank you for the feedback. I will correct my errors momentarily. Can you explain why gammax'y' is not zero and why gammaxy is zero?

    Strain Gauge Angle Homework question.

    [a]1. Homework Statement [/b] I thought it would be easier to post a picture since this way the drawing can be seen. I'm having a hard time deciding what angles to use with the relevant equations, see below. Homework Equations I know that: Ex' =...

    Pspice help RLC parrallel circuit.

    So, I finally got it to work. However, I changed the code around many-a-time until it finally worked. Curiously enough, the same code doesn't give me the same answer every time! Weird. Here is he code that code: C1 1 0 10e-9F IC = 90V R1 1 0 2.0e3ohm L1 1 0 250e-3H IC= -30e-3A .tran 5e-6...

    Pspice help RLC parrallel circuit.

    Thanks for your reply, appreciate the help. It's an interesting problem. What you said makes sense though. Setting IC = 90V for the capacitor does nothing. Wow, I'm at a loss; I have literally tried everything that I can think of.

    Pspice help RLC parrallel circuit.

    Hello everybody. I have an over-damped RLC parallel circuit. Using techniques taught, I solved for v(t) = 70e^(-10,000t)+20e^(-40,000t) V for t> zero. This indicates that my initial voltage is 90v. Using MATLAB (Part of the assignment) I verified this. I also found that Current as a function of...

    Simplifying Factorials: How to Simplify 2n+2!?

    Just a quick question. I'm having problems with factorials. For example, how do you simplify 2n+2!? Is it 2n!*2n+1!? Thanks everybody!

    Finding the Arctangent of an Unknown Number

    How do you go about finding the arctangent of an unfamiliar number. Example, arctan (-2)? I think it's in the direction of half-angles and double angels, but how do I get the angle to start with the formulas in the first place? Thanks in advance!

    Average speed problem What am I missing?

    Oooooooo! It all makes sense! Got it! Thanks so much! Really appreciate it. The trick was seeing that the d's would cancel! Thanks!

    Average speed problem What am I missing?

    Tried working it out, but I'm not seeing it here. I see that by manipulation you get t=d/v at which point you plug in the speed that I am given. Can you explain a bit more. I'm quite confused here.

    Average speed problem What am I missing?

    I see that total distance is 2, or 2d. I am having trouble seeing how to get the time.

    Average speed problem What am I missing?

    Homework Statement A person walks from point a to point b at a speed of 5 m/s. Then she turns around and walks from point b to point a at a speed of 3 m/s. What is her average speed? Homework Equations Average speed is equal to d/ change in t. The Attempt at a Solution So I know...

    Tension on a rope-no idea how to even start.

    Tension on a rope--no idea how to even start. Homework Statement A rope is used to pull a 10kg block across the floor with an acceleration of 3m/s^2. If the frictional force on the black is 50 N, what is the tension on the rope? M=50kg A= 3m/s^2 Frictional force is 50 N. Homework...
