Working through a lecture in performance management course (topic about downside-oriented risk measures and lower partial moments), I have encountered several expressions of the following form: LPM(2,t)(R)=integral((t-R)^2dF(R))=E[(max{t-R;0})^2] where F(R) is the cumulative distribution...
4. ### Magnitude and sense of the force applied at A to reduce the reaction at A to zero.

Magnitude and sense of the force applied at A to reduce the reaction at B to zero. A light horizontal beam $AB$, of length $9m$, supported at its ends by a force $S$ acting vertically and a force $R$ acting at an angle $\alpha$ to the line of the beam. A force of $30N$ is applied to the beam...

Hi All one elementary question foxing me to help my kid with his issue: the plank has a length of van 60 cm. There is this block of 100 gms placed at the end of the plank. The shelf will tilt at the point when the block(100gms)is pushed to the front by 20 cm from the edge. Calculate the...
8. ### Moments of a crane

I do not know at all how to even apporach this question. I don't know what point to take the moments from, where the pivot is, I just don't know how to find the weight without l and d. I have the following equation for moments: FL = Fdsin(a) and so L = dsin(a). Help please!

10. ### Question about a g-force simulator in question 6, part b.

The following is regarding question $6$, part $b$, in the following link: https://thol.sunway.edu.my/examdbase/alv/math/p3/math_p3_j96.pdf Using the principle of moments and considering the case when $Ï‰=0$ (when the system is at rest). Let $m_1$ be the mass of the pilot, $m_2$ be the...
11. ### Mechanics: Moments of forces, weight and tension.

A hoop of weight 20 Newtons can rotate freely about a pin fixed in a wall. A string has one end attached to a pin, runs round the circumference of the hoop to its lowest point, and is then held horizontally at its other end. A gradually increasing horizontal force is now applied to the string...

18. ### Simple Moments Question

Hello, My friend and I have been having a discussion about moments (when applied to a chest of draws). The argument is; if the weight in each draw is the same, and any one draw is opened fully, will a draw higher up be more likely to cause the chest of draws to tip forwards, or are they all...
