Q: In lab three, we are given values for certain variables. It is noted that the properties are for each pier leg individually. Will this fact affect any calculations? For example, Question 3 asks for the potential energy on both pier legs, but property values for k is given for one pier leg. Question 4 also mentions both pier legs.
A: Review Prof. Dasaro’s lecture to determine whether the two legs act independently or together.
Assume that the properties of each pier leg are the same.
Good luck and see you all on Friday!

Ok, so do we have to divide Pyield by 2?!?!?
ReplyDeletePlease consult Slide 39, where the properties are given for the bridge and tanker. In the description, it states the properties stated are for EACH leg pier.

DeleteOk, I consulted it and I still don't understand what each question wants. They are all based off of each other so I want to get it right or they will all be wrong. It's confusing.
DeleteQuestions 1-7 correspond to each respective slide. The challenge on the assignment is that there are two piers and a tanker and the example has one wall and one heat exchanger. As we discussed in class, you will use the info for the tanker and consider when you will need to double the values based on how the individual questions are posed. We put up a slide in class with each step from the entire presentation and it's corresponding question.
DeleteYou need to work backwards for Question 8. If you consult the home page, there are slides from a previous TA that may also help you out.
