    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    Yeah, I realized that after engaging with you guys and reading up some more on that. But I am still curious how to calculate it from theoretical point of view. Goutam_freelance seems like is onto something, but I am not really sure how he came up with that equation where he finds tan(alpa)...

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    goutam_freelance, I am still having a hard time to understand how that equation gives you volume. How is water density not part of that calculation? I am very confused. Could you please elaborate that equation?

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    3DDave, I have already figured that part of the calculation. I know the max acceleration that would cause the glass to tip over on its edge. I was trying to figure if the water spillage would happen at smaller acceleration.

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    goutam_freelance , great work! I was able to calculate the height of the water, but nothing more. Could you please explain how you drove the equation you used to solve for tan (alpha)?

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    yeah I am working on it now, but the calculations are taking much much longer as the shape of the glass is not as simple as a rectangular tank or cylinder.

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    What if I suddenly wanted to stop my conveyor? Wouldn't the speed and acceleration be detrimental to prevent spillage?

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    Jerk is a form of acceleration, isn't it? I am trying to figure out max acceleration to use in my specs.

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    No, I need to find out max acceleration on my conveyor mechanism.

    What is the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction without spilling water from the glass

    - Cup size : Bottom face Dia.50mm, Height 150mm, Top face Dia.100mm - Fluid : water 0.5 kg

    The pin anchoring down the chain sees a lot of wear. What design change can be done to prevent wear?

    https://imgur.com/0nWiOXi The chain goes through periodic loading (800 times a day). I don't want to increase the hardness of the pin as I would rather prefer the pin to wear than the chain itself. What I have found so far is that while chain link diameter is 12.1mm, the pin diameter is 10mm...

    Struggling to stop pump leakage. Please advise if you have hydraulic/pneumatic experience / expertis

    We have a reciprocating pump that feeds off 2 gear pumps with highly viscous sealer. There is one line coming off of the main reciprocating pump, tees off at the front gear pump and goes another 20ft to the rear gear pump. The reciprocating pump works at the same frequency throughout the cycle...
