But this problem is much easier than the one I have to do. The configuration is different.
I'll try to scan my proposed solution, which I believe it is wrong, anyways.
What page is 6.33 on? I can't seem to find it. I see one on p. 360, but it is about Mohr's circle.
Nope !! It is 6.33 on 3rd edition.
I have BOTH editions: 3rd and the 2nd (or is it first ?? It is a Dark Brown cover book... maybe it is the 1st).
It is good to have both editions... few of the problems on 3rd edition have the answer on the 2nd edition.
I can't use my scanner here at work...
This problem is due tonight.. I shouldve posted about it before.. in order to get some help from you guys... out of 6 problems I only screwed this one. Not to bad.
And the real issue is how one defines "Q", you are right Brapple. But deciding on what your "Q" (the area and the centroid for that) is the [censored]. plugging in the numbers is easy.
I wish I could scan my two sheets I have here that I solved and get comments on that.
