Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a cylindrical object subjected to various stress components. Derive the resultant force equations on both +z and -z planes incorporating the stress components from the Taylor expansion.
💡 Hint: Focus on integrating each stress component separately and then combine the results.
Evaluate the errors that might arise in momentum calculations if the radius of the cylindrical element is inaccurately measured. Discuss the implications of this error on the final force results.
💡 Hint: Think about how changes in physical measurements affect output calculations.
