    Who rides moto's ?

    just bought it :) I don't see why everything has to be new anyways just = higher initial cost and with off-roads there's always repairs to be made no matter how old/new the bike is. but yes if i did have a spare ten grand lying around i'd buy a new one

    w00t finally drove a straight 4

    hey ausbluesman i also drive an EA - to be honest they are pretty shit - although they are smooth to drive and parts are relatively cheap - they are basically a mechanics nightmare - the computers fuck up and run rough for no reason. also the 3 speed auto (what i have) is really sluggish. my...

    Thoughts??

    if u do chemistry, u'd know iron is more active than copper

    Engineering Marathon

    i'm pretty sure tempering is air cooling also known as age hardening, copper or silicon (notsure) content of aluminium is dispersed evenly throughout structure

    Engineering Marathon

    Structural: 1: development of truss rather than solid beam bridge - reduced weight with increased strength 2: use of cables in cable-stayed and suspension bridges - also reduced weight 3: pre-stressed and post-stressed concrete Materials: 1: re-inforced concrete - much stronger and increases...

    So whuz ready for tomoz!!!

    I guess i'm as ready as i'll ever be thanks to all the people helping out on these forums, it's helped me with my est study :) good luck to you all for tomorrow! :uhhuh: and then after we / I will be: :drink: :headbang:

    Engineering Marathon

    P = W/t = 400kW W = [delta]KE +[delta]PE = 400x10^3 * 20sec = 8x10^6 Joules height = h = sin(11.3)*100 = 19.6m since W = 1/2mv^2 + mgh = 1/2m*(100m/20s)^2 + m*9.8*19.6 = 8x10^6 J therefore, [edited:] m*0.5*25 + m*9.8*19.6 = 8x10^6J = m (12.5 + 192.08) thus, m = 8x10^6 / 204.58 =...

    Engineering Marathon

    cable: multiple signals on one line but limited to a few hundred per line, needs boosting of electrical signal for long distances, speeds are restricted b y number of people on the line and distance to exchange. requires physical connection microwave: can transmit long distances and through the...

    Truss analysis marathon

    thanks, now i realise, i no it as second moment of area: bending stress = My/I need to know that for tomoz

    Truss analysis marathon

    so i guess its like dynamics, rather than having an object that is at equilibrium (static) , for eg: a truss that is supported and does not move [edit: is static]

    Truss analysis marathon

    i hate shear force and bending moment diagrams - although they're not very hard btw wot is moment of inertia, is it kinda like centripetal force, or is it just normal moments

    Truss analysis marathon

    sry i forgot to add angles correct

    Engineering Marathon

    i think he was pretty much saying it takes to long and is extremely unlikely to be asked to do something this hard in the exam, and sorry if it seemed as though I thought ur answer was wrong, when i said close, i meant close to each other and so likely to be right my answer is obviously wrong...
