WHAT IS 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

A theodolite is a survey testing instrument used for measuring horizontal and vertical angles. A basic theodolite usually consists of a small sized telescope linked with mechanisms to measure horizontal and vertical angles. It has several moving parts and is quite heavy. The theodolite telescope is fixed within perpendicular axes- the vertical axis and the horizontal‚ or trunion‚ axis. The instrument is fixed on a base that can be rotated on a tripod by a leveling system. The angle to the desired

“Stay hungry..Stay Foolish” Steve Jobs. Whenever I feel low‚ I always listen to this inspirational speech given by Mr. Steve Jobs at Stanford graduation day and these particular words haunt me all the time. Stay hungry‚ always be eager to know things whether new or already known facts and stay foolish‚ sound like a fool to learn new things‚ even it is a silly or minute doubt better clear it. It has been a linchpin for my success so far.During paper presentations and educational seminars‚ I feel

projectile motion. In vertical projectile motion gravity is acting on the projectile‚ which means that the acceleration in vertical projectile motion is equal to gravity’s acceleration (9.8m/s2). Some equations for projectile motion are the three kinematic equations‚ the equation for Vx (Vx = ∆x/∆t)‚ and the equation for time (∆t = 2∆y/g). The purpose of this lab was to get a projectile falling off a ramp on a table to land in a cup by using equations that are related to projectile motion. The
