    tethered structural washers

    Has anyone ever used electrical ring terminal connectors for this purpose? If only I could find one made of aluminum, not nickel plated copper.

    tethered structural washers

    I'm looking for washers that have a tab and hole similar to the one shown in the attached picture of ordnance fastened with structural bolts used with tethered washers. They need to be structural and anti-corrosion coated. Once I source the washer, I need to determine a method of keeping the...

    angular velocity of a box about a corner

    I was wondering if it was as simple as finding the change in potential energy. It just seemed too simple to be true, but I won't complain about that! Thanks for the help guys

    angular velocity of a box about a corner

    Tygerdawg: Thinking about it like that, it reminds me of the problem I had once back in dynamics class where I had to find ang. vel. of a rod which is fixed on one end and allowed to drop from horizontal. Found a thread discussing that here: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=144774...

    angular velocity of a box about a corner

    I realize that if perfectly balanced it would never fall. But say it's off center by some infinitesimally small amount, this should approach some kind of asymptotic limit I would think.

    angular velocity of a box about a corner

    I am attempting to find the angular velocity of a 3D box that is balanced on one of its corners and allowed to fall under the force of gravity alone at the instant the box impacts. Take the simplest case for example where the box is square on all sides and falls in a way that results in one of...

    Name of this kind of spring plunger

    I have scoured the net and come up dry. I need to know the name or a supplier (if that is allowed in this forum) of this kind of spring plunger. It has a U-shaped spring that allows the plunger to retract and also is the means of holding it in place. Thanks for the help
