Math & Science ⇒ Flush-right Math Equation

[ghostanime2001]

How do you flush right a math equation?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You could use a flalign environment, described in the amsmath documentation. Use it like align, begin a line with two ampersand symbols &.

What do you mean by ...

Use it like align, begin a line with two ampersand symbols &.

Use it like align: it has the same syntax like the align environment.

begin a line with two ampersand symbols &&: such a line line in the flalign environment can look like

Code: Select all

&& x+y=z \\

isn't there an alternate environment?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Why do you want another environment? Did you try flalign? What's the reason not to use it here?

It's not aligning with the diagram rather but the minipage width. Also the big equation at the bottom that starts with F_{ext} gets pushed down too much I want this page having one minipage (or something else) consisting of the first diagram to the left..m1...m2..Fext and the big Fext equation at the bottom to be one big minipage and the second minipage consisting of the second diagram and T=m2a and the lower 3 lines of equations to be aligned to the right margin of the second diagram NOT the minipage that I've created.

here is the code I'm using:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[fleqn]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xfrac}
\usepackage[makeroom]{cancel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\sisetup{%
  output-decimal-marker={.},
  load-configurations=abbreviations,
  group-separator={,},
  per-mode=fraction,
  fraction-function=\sfrac}
\usepackage{fix-cm}
\setlength{\mathindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\raisebox{1.85ex}{\parbox[t]{2in}{\null\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Diagram9}}}
\begin{minipage}[t]{3in}
$\begin{aligned}[t]
m_{1}&=\text{0.52 kg} \\
m_{2}&=\text{2.14 kg} \\
F_{ext}&=\text{9.26 N}
\end{aligned}$
\begin{align*}
F_{ext}-T-m_{1}g\cos\theta=m_{1}a
\end{align*}
\raisebox{1.85ex}{\parbox[t]{1.3in}{\null\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{Diagram10}}}
$\begin{aligned}[t]
T&=m_{2}a
\end{aligned}$
\begin{align*}
T&=m_{2}a \\
T&=(2.14)(2.46) \\
T&=\text{5.28 N} 
\end{align*}
\end{minipage}
\begin{align*}
F_{ext}-m_{2}a-m_{1}g\cos\theta&=m_{1}a \\
F_{ext}-m_{1}g\cos\theta&=m_{1}a+m_{2}a \\
F_{ext}-m_{1}g\cos\theta&=a(m_{1}+m_{2}) \\
\dfrac{F_{ext}-m_{1}g\cos\theta}{m_{1}+m_{2}}&=a \\
\dfrac{9.26-(0.52)(9.8)\cos\SI{58}{\degree}}{0.52+2.14}&=a \\
\text{2.46 m/s}^{2}&=a
\end{align*}
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
