I was feeling confident on my first homework, but even that assignment had lessons to be learned. I have learned to not rush through math because even poor handwriting can cause me to confuse a &#8220;5&#8221; for an &#8220;S&#8221; or the variable &#8220;x&#8221; for the multiplication sign.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not paying close attention to the &#8220;K&#8221; (meaning times 1,000) before newtons caused my calculation to be way off. Forgetting that a force is only meaningful when we know which way the force is being applied also cost me some miscalculations; and while the class is forgiving here, the engineering industry would not be and life, or investments, would be at huge and unnecessary risks for such mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!selectors.core.file.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/bernamartinez\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34834\/2023\/12\/HW4-p3.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of HW4-p3.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-96356660-01a4-4d72-906d-ffc55448a43c\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/bernamartinez\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34834\/2023\/12\/HW4-p3.pdf\">HW4-p3<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/bernamartinez\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34834\/2023\/12\/HW4-p3.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-96356660-01a4-4d72-906d-ffc55448a43c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding compression and tension as torque is applied to an axis was very challenging. Seems like a very simple concept as we are working through the lessons in the class; however, I had a huge challenge with this concept. I still have a hard time understanding how this force acts on the material, I even grabbed my phone and held it on one hand while I twisted with the other&#8230; it seemed to me there was compression being applied to all four corners on the phone as I twisted, or applied torque, to the item. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I now understand, from the example above, that I applied more of shear force, pulling on both side of the material, and as can be seen in the feedback provided by the professor, that as I point my thumb with the torque arrows, the top portion of the image has compression applied to it and the opposite, tension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through the semester, besides the examples we covered in class, the homework assignments were the most useful in learning the material.
