Mathematical Analysis of an Ideal ZED

[MarkE]

Dumb question time,,

If I have a value of ZN and it is being moved over a distance of Ymm would I take the Ymm and multiply that by 0.001 and then divide N by that?

1 Joule = 1 Newton * 1 meter.  E in Joules = Z N * Y mm * 1m/1000mm.

  Webby,
             what are you trying to achieve? Whatever you do you can't breathe
  life into a hydraulic cylinder, it's just a dead thing!
    As  for ZED to ZED transfer, I'm afraid we learned the answer on page one.

Thanks,,

I keep blowing brain farts with which is what when I am looking at what is doing which,,

N/m has nothing to do with distance, but I see the m and I am thinking distance,, I am trying to think of it as torque right now,, just to keep it straight.

−10791.415  I am working through this in AR1 and 2520cc and twisting it further by asking myself what happens if the risers are held still,, you know all the normal questions one might ask oneself on a Sunday

N/m is the force gradient per unit distance.  We see it in a couple of different conditions:  The force per unit height of a given area column, or the restoring force per unit movement.

You can always construct a model.

    Sadly this particular ZED seems to be dead.
       My wife and  daughters are overjoyed because I keep looking at
     this forum and it was a waste of time as far as they were concerned.
         Mark has shown us how to present  work in a proper scientific
     manner. Koala has introduced some lovely words like "kludge" and
     "Buffoon" to name but two.
         As for me, I think I've got withdrawal symptoms.

I think that this thread has pretty much run its course.  I don't believe that any further attempt to defend a ZED as over unity using claims of a physical analysis will be forthcoming from the pro-HER/Zydro camp. 

If certain events are in motion they have bigger things to worry about.
