Mo' Statics
Here's the link to that online calculator, make sure you switch from radians to degrees.
Here's a link to an online triangle solver, for right angles, set Angle C to 90 deg.
Today, we're reviewing the math review sheet and beginning an activity on free-body diagrams.
Woot!

Fluid Power Wrap-Up
Yeah... I thought you'd go for a take home quiz...
To conclude our work on fluid power, I'm going to let you guys do some of the fun stuff...
Your assignment:
To conclude our work on fluid power, I'm going to let you guys do some of the fun stuff...
Your assignment:
- Due first thing on Monday (02.09.09)
- Write a "test-style" question for each of the 4 Fluid Power Laws.
- Each question must include a clear problem statement and a diagram.
- example:
.
Fluid Power
Today's assignment is NOT to be done in groups:
.
- Draw a schematic diagram (single view, not to scale) of your group's fluid power system.
- Label all of the items, subsystems, elements, and other stuff in your diagram.
- On a seperate sheet, write a paragraph about how the fluid power laws fit into your system. Consult the PowerPoints that I handed out for details on the laws.

Monday
Continue on with the fluid power research.
Each group should upload their work at the end of class.
These should be done by the end of class tomorrow.
