Given a two-force member with a tension of 10N and a compression of 10N, calculate the resultant force and explain the state of the member.
💡 Hint: Consider how these forces interact.
For a slider-crank mechanism, derive the piston acceleration given a crank distance of 0.2m, an angular velocity of 10 rad/s, and a crank angle of 30 degrees.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to convert your angle to radians when substituting into the equations.
