Strengths Lab report Calculating deflection of a statically indeterminate Beam under loading Summary The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the accuracy of theoretical calculation for deflection in beams compared to that of experimental procedure. Our findings showed us that theoretical calculations are an accurate method of approximation and also that deflection directly varies with transverse force applied. Therefore the use of theoretical calculations for engineering design is an accurate and useful and time saving method. We also used load cells to calculate reaction forces and moments. For the calculation of the reaction moment at the support mounted on an arm, the value for the reaction force is multiplied by the distance at which the force is acting.
Moments Of Inertia Abstract: Through experimentation the principles of inertia are observed. Inertia is the resistance to changes in state of rotational motion. It depends on the mass of the object being rotated and its shape and size, along with the center of gravity. Initially, the inertia caused by the rotating apparatus must be found. If a string is attached around the circular apparatus with a pulley with weight attached then it would normally fall at the rate of gravity (9.8 m/s^2).

To determine the free-fall acceleration g from a graph of acceleration vs. sine of track angle. • measure the acceleration of a rolling cart on an inclined plane with a motion detector; • change the angle of the incline and measure the acceleration for different angles; • determine how the acceleration depends on the angle and the gravitational acceleration Measuring 'g' experiment. The purpose of this experiment is to measure the acceleration due to gravity and to see if the effects of air resistance can be observed by dropping various balls and recording fall times.. Moment of Inertia The purpose of this experiment is to determine
The following equation represents this relationship where k denotes the spring constant or stiffness of the spring, F=-kx Since x symbolizes the displacement or change in the length of the spring the above equation can now be surmised in the following manner, F=mg=-k∆l This new form makes it evident that a linear proportion exists between the plot of F as function of changing in length, ∆, thus confirming the spring does in fact obey Hooke’s Law. This enabled the group to determine the spring constant k. B. Derivation of Equations Definitions To gain a better understanding of the terms used here
Growth platforms and logistic pipeline adopted by Crocs are briefly discussed to highlight the reasons why and how Crocs evolved its supply chain practices. The basic core competencies of Crocs are: effective and responsive supply chain, an unique product, an unique material and a global strategy. First, the most significant Croc’s core competency is the highly effective and responsive supply chain. The company developed a strategic three-step method to shorten time, offer flexibility and lower the cost of the supply chain process. Therefore, It will give bigger profits and an easier operation system.
The slope on a Distance vs. Time Graph is based on a scalar quantity and is used to judge speed because it has a magnitude and direction. The slope also represents the speed in the distance traveled over a certain time. To find the slope you can measure the distance the object has traveled every second similar to like
As velocity remains constant whilst time does increase. Graph 6: This graph would show a negative downward slope as the runner is decreasing their velocity whilst taking time, running from the starting point. Method: 1. An experiment was to be carried out to investigate the differences between constant, increasing and decreasing velocity. A stopwatch, trundle wheel, chalk, paper and a pencil for recording was collected.
The EPA website states the following: “There have been well-documented air quality impacts in areas with active natural gas development, with increases in emissions of methane, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). EPA, the Department of the Interior, other federal agencies and states are working to better characterize and reduce these air emissions and their associated impacts. Through the Natural Gas STAR program, EPA and partner companies have identified technologies and practices that can cost-effectively reduce methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector in the U.S. and abroad. Through the Clean Construction USA program, EPA is promoting newer, more efficient technology and cleaner fuels to innovate the ways in which hydraulic fracturing equipment and vehicles reduce emissions. EPA also administers Clean Air Act regulations for oil and natural gas production, including regulations on reporting greenhouse gas emissions.” (United States Environmental Protection Agency,
Before the impact of the fluid onto the plate, the fluid is in line with the x-axis, as shows by the velocity vector labeled V1. After the water impacts with the plate the velocity vector V2 is the parallel to the x-axis. The equation to fiqure out the normal force on the plate is: Fx=ρQV1 Where ρ Is density, Q = flow rate and V1 is the x-component of velocity Force measured (1.4) this is a diagram of the weight arm and pivot used in this experiment. Using this diagram two equations can be found and used. When the valve is closed, no water flows and so the weight is positioned at distance L from the pivot.
