TORQUE? Torque is a measure of how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate. The object rotates about an axis‚ which we will call the pivot point‚ and will label ’O ’. We will call the force ’F ’. The distance from the pivot point to the point where the force acts is called the moment arm‚ and is denoted by ’r ’. Note that this distance‚ ’r ’‚ is also a vector‚ and points from the axis of rotation to the point where the force acts. (Refer to Figure 1 for a pictoral representation

All rights 4-* Eight h Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics Introduction • For a rigid body in static equilibrium‚ the external forces and moments are balanced and will impart no translational or rotational motion to the body. • The necessary and sufficient condition for the static equilibrium of a body are that the resultant force and couple from all external forces form a system

I noticed that I have not described the rule of F=ma in either the last email or this one. Where would you suggest it be described? Somehow the details of adding forces and balanced forces were missed in the last email and also it did not make perfect sense for me to note. As far as I am concerned the khan academy does not lecture it so I am not too sure in what to do about this. I am assuming finding velocity is the sole purpose of applying the law of conservation of momentum. Is this true

yourself how a roller coaster works? Would roller coasters safely run without the knowledge that physics offers us? The answer is no. Roller coasters are driven by physics; it mobilizes and gives its riders amusement through forces such as inertia‚ gravitation‚ and centripetal forces and utilizes different types of energies such as potential and kinetic energy. Physics is what makes roller coasters safe and effective. It is not only the high speed of the trains of a roller coaster that makes the ride

Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia‚ an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion‚ four forces on an aircraft; lift‚ weight‚ thrust‚ and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude‚ we can neglect the

3rd Law Cont. If object 1 and object 2 interact‚ the force exerted by object 1 on object 2 is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force exerted by object 2 on object 1. Equivalent to saying a single isolated force cannot exist • F12 may be called the action force and F21 the reaction force. • Actually‚ either force can be the action or the reaction force Some Action-Reaction Pairs is the normal force‚ the force the table exerts on the TV and always perpendicular to the

of motion: The resultant force is proportional to the change in momentum per a second. We know that force = mass x acceleration. So F (mv-mu)/t F m (v-u)/t = ma so F=kma Momentum is a vector quantity: Momentum has a direction as well as a magnitude Momentum and Newton’s first law of motion: An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. If an object had a constant momentum‚ it will have a constant amount of force needed to that will mean
