I remember always having troubles with my computer working or with something not working like all the fucking time. I would spend so much time searching and posting on forums just to get fixes and trying to solve my own technical problems...

Now it seems I hardly ever run into a problem.

Wtf is with that shit?

Feels good man. :whiste:

you ate to many fruit loops

I've been eating beef jerky and drinking coke zero.

maybe that's why.

Also doing homework... :ninja: I hate doing this problem:

How is that hard? All you have to do is the pythagorean theorem and a little trig. Don't even have to sum moments or anything.

Now that almost everything works ... does this mean you are going to stop posting in the forums?

wtf is the angle of theta? how can you do that problem without the angle? or do you have to figure out both the angle, and the force?

You know two sides of the right triangle, so that means you can find out the other side and the theta with high school trig.

I wonder if I did this one right.

Somehow I feel that I might have gotten the matrix wrong, but I maybe I got it right. :p

Wait, I can't even read the angles or tell where they're supposed to be. Who knows.

If ABC is 35 degrees and ACB is 70 degrees, that's right. But that's a pretty terrible drawing of 35 degrees.

That's the problem (top diagram). That's the result of my matrix.

Yes, it is a bad drawing of 35 degrees.. just realized that. I didn't pay attention to the whole like... drawing to scale shit.

Fuck. I'm at my last problem on the homework and totally lost. :awe:

"A 1-cm diameter, 0.4-m-long steel rod is to be used in an application where it will be subjected to an axial tensile force of 15 kN. The factor of safety based on yield stress must be at least 1.5, and the axial deformation must not exceed 2cm. Is the steel whose stress-strain diagram is shown in Figure P26 suitable for this application? Explain."

The answer is: No. the factor of safety is acceptable at FS = 1.57, but the deformation is [lower case delta] = 3.82 cm, which exceeds the allowable deformation.

I have no clue how they got the answer, because the book doesn't have written out solutions. (No solutions manual arrghh)

So I'm guessing you really made this thread so people could help you out with your homework.

Are you allowed to use TIs in your program? It was hard to start using some crappy eng calc, but i was glad it happened. I feel better as a student without it.
