CEMB 121 MECHANICS OF MATERIALS LABORATORY EXPERIMENT (NO.2 (a)) SHEAR FORCE I SUMMARY Shear Forces occurs when two parallel forces act out of alignment with each other. For example‚ in a large boiler made from the sections of sheet metal plate riveted together‚ there is an equal and opposite force exerted on the rivets‚ owing to the expansion and contraction of the plates. The shearing force (SF) at any section of a beam represents the tendency for the portion of the beam on one side of

Universal Gravitation Apples had a significant contribution to the discovery of gravitation. The English physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727) introduced the term "gravity" after he saw an apple falling onto the ground in his garden. "Gravity" is the force of attraction exerted by the earth on an object. The moon orbits around the earth because of gravity too. Newton later proposed that gravity was just a particular case of gravitation. Every mass in the universe attracts every other mass. This is the

The short story of “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” by Garcia Marquez has a strong correlation to the life of Christ and the wavering faith of the mass.

= 300g 9.8 3. Explain the effect of mass on Hooke’s Law. Hooke’s Law states that the restoring force of a spring is directly proportional to a small displacement. Applying a mass to the end of the spring stretches it‚ changing the length from its original equilibrium position of rest‚ to a new (lower) equilibrium position. At this position‚ the vertical restoring force of the spring balances the weight and the downward pull of gravity is balanced by the upward pull of the spring

While Bolger’s analysis looked broadly at police use of force‚ the analysis by Harris looked only at improper use of force. What is the difference between these two concepts and what differences did you notice regarding Bolger’s results and Harris’s findings? The obvious difference between the study of the use of force and the study of improper force is easily understandable. Bolger looked at a broad sense and didn’t leave out the use of force in a rightful manner which in my opinion led to different
