Pls be informed that the ICT have yet to resolve our online registration for PSM.

Therefore, i am initating the manual form for this matter. Please use the given form and submit the completed hardcopy (+ signature PA) to me before 9/4/10 1200H. Please also submit the softcopy (without PA signature) to my email bajukebal@gmail.com

the form is here

for those who are not sure whether you are eligible to take PSM pending to the pre-requisite subjects (taken this semester), dont worry, just fill up the form and submit. If so happens that you dont qualify (exam tak lepas), then you automatically not allow to do your PSM. Tapi kalau lepas ,carry on.

3) the corresponding tangential force Ft  can be expressed as ?

4) the filament cross sectional A can be expressed as ?

5) σ hoop can be expressed as Ft/A ,therefore combine step (3) & (4) what will be new equation?
