The block is assumedto have an initial velocity V0 at the top of the cylinder and is subject to a constraint friction forceof kinetic coefficient of friction, µk (See Figure 1). To achieve a stable numerical solution, weassume, without loss of generality, a specific initial speed of 10 ft/s for the block and considerthe coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and surface to be zero in one case and 0.2 inthe other.

This coupling permits students to simply (1) enter a circuit inTINA diagramatically, (2) export its symbolic solution y(t), or its transfer function, Y(s), to aMathcad file, and (3) plot these solutions for multiple values of a parameter (e.g. R) on a 2-Dor 3-D graph.

Properly used by students, these worksheets have the potential to reinforce and enhance understanding of the fundamental interrelationships among various properties; students are free to change various parameters such as pressure, temperature, and quality, and immediately view the effect of these changes on the associated Mollier and T-s diagrams. Students may quickly visualize the effect of these changes, rather than being mired in the minutiae of table lookups, interpolation, transcription, and manual plotting. An additional benefit of the rapid and very accurate plotting of thermodynamic properties is a better

It has been our instructionalexperience that the use of this tool not only makes torque and speed calculations easy, but alsoimproves students’ ability to visualize the results and understand the effect of gear tooth ratios.2. Modeling ProcedureThe procedure of setting up a lever system analogous for planetary gear sets is: (1) replace eachgear set by a vertical lever; (2) rescale, interconnect, and/or combine levers according to the gearsets’ interconnections; and (3) identify the connections to the lever(s

We prefer 1/2’s to 1/4’s; 1/4’s to 1/8’s; 1/8’s to 1/16’s, etc. • Decimal based: We prefer whole numbers to decimal increments.
