Justifying Equations to the Left

Post by bjd116 »

When using the 'fleqn' format, I am still receiving white-space to the left of my equation.

Code: Select all

\subsection*{Shear Stress Resultant}
\[ T = \int_A{p \* \tau \* dA} = \int_A{p \* \left(G \* p \* \dfrac{d\phi}{dx}\right) \* dA} \qquad \text{Resultant Torque} \]
\[ \text{If $G$ is constant,} \]
\[ T = G \* \dfrac{d\phi}{dx} \* \int_A{p^2 \* dA} \]
\[ T = G \* \dfrac{d\phi}{dx} \* I_p \qquad \text{where $I_p$ is the polar moment of inertia} \]
\[ \dfrac{d\phi}{dx} = \dfrac{T}{G \* I_p} \qquad \text{Torque-Twist Equation} \]
\[ \dfrac{d\phi}{dx} = \dfrac{T}{G \* I_p} = \dfrac{\tau}{G \* p} \]
\[ \tau = \dfrac{T_p}{I_p} \qquad \text{Torsional Shear Stress Equation} \]
\[ \sigma = \dfrac{M \* c}{I} \]

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

You have to determine the length \mathindent. In your case you have to assign a zero length.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}

A minimal working example (MWE) is always helpful.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Then please mark the topic accordingly and not the last post as clearly written in the Board Rules and as you have already been directed.
