    Professional Dilemna

    I believe that honesty is not the best policy, if you tell your present employer that you are unhappy working there for any reason, he will hold that against you. Bonus, pay rate, he is human and these do affect him. If he is a great guy and you and him have a great relationship then honesty...

    Equation Needed

    What I intend on doing is calculating how much force is generated on threads, that are located at the CG of a plate 12'x 8' x 1". This force is to be generated by the plates own weight, the plate is on a 1' cable (the cable length will play no major factor since the downward force is at a...

    Equation Needed

    What I need is the deflection from the center to the ends. The reason is that I need to see how much bowing is ocurring during the lifting and how much compression and tension is being created during this action. I ultimately need to find the impact force generated during the lifting. I really...

    Equation Needed

    I am trying to find an equation that will give me the deflection of a plate that is held at its Center of Gravity (CG). The plate 1"x8'x12' is hung from a cable and what I am trying to figure out is the deflection. Given that the ends are free and the only weight is its own what equation...
