Determine the moment of inertia of a filled circular sector
Does anyone know how to determine the moment of inertia of the filled circular sector shown below?
Apparently I have to use $dA=r\ d\theta\ dr$, $y= r\sin(\theta)$ and end up getting $I_x=\frac{r^4}{...

Does a disk placed in a pipe perpendicular to flow direction of fluid feel dynamic pressure or total pressure?
There are two discs in the pipe but not at the same time. You can consider conditions with X but without Y, then with Y and without X.
I am pretty sure that disc X will feel less force from fluid than ...

Problem while solving for the moment of a cantilever beam
As in the first image,
Moment at any point between C and B should be 0.
But when I try to solve it by substituting equal and opposite forces at end C so that anti-clockwise moment of $F(l-a)$ and ...
