Design: Loudspeaker support Part 2 – Getting the job done

With the problem specified in the previous video you are now ready to work your way towards an engineering solution.

The video leads you through the process with opportunities to do calculations yourself involving adding forces that meet at a point. In the end you will select items from a list and consider engineering responsibility.

It might help if you download the design specification in the Downloads section below in case you want to refer to it as you go.

If you just watch the video it will take about 10 minutes. If you take the opportunity to do calculations it will take longer; it’s hard to say how much longer because it depends on so many factors, but allow a total of 30 minutes.

If you are stuck (or even if you aren’t) you might like to look at the worked solution that is available from the Downloads section.
