Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around selecting a suitable subject for a physics project focused on torque. Participants explore various ideas and resources to assist in developing the project, which is intended for a college-level physics course.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks help in finding subjects and pictures for a project on torque, expressing uncertainty about appropriate topics.
  • Another participant suggests that a manual transmission could serve as a logical subject, assuming it relates to torque multiplication.
  • A different participant clarifies that their project focuses on the relationship between torque, arm lever, and force, specifically the formula T=RF.
  • Concerns are raised about the appropriateness of seeking direct assistance for project completion, with reminders that participants should develop their ideas independently before asking for help.
  • Some participants emphasize the importance of reviewing course materials and textbooks to find relevant information for the project.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the original poster should independently narrow down their project ideas and seek specific guidance as needed. However, there is some disagreement regarding the interpretation of what constitutes a suitable subject for the project.

Contextual Notes

Participants express varying levels of understanding regarding the project requirements and the nature of assistance that can be provided. There is an emphasis on the need for the original poster to engage with their course materials and develop their own project direction.

Please if anyone can help me with my torque project. I need some subjects, and pecturs to finsh it. This is my first project to do, and I hope that well done. I look on the physic's site, but I afraid of any matter appropriately chosen.
Thank you

Hello, Dur. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a communications gap here. I don't quite understand what you mean by a 'torque project'. If it means what I think it does, then a simple manual transmission would be a logical approach. You can get all of the pictures and descriptions that you need from a shop manual.
 
Hi Danger, I have to do a project for my physic's professor, and my project about the torque, so I think I need some pectures, and a good subjects to make my project very good. I'm studying a College Physics . Danger, can you pease tell me here is the shop manual ?
 
I'm still not sure what it is that you're trying to accomplish. My impression is that you're dealing with torque multiplication through pulleys, gearing, etc.. That's why I suggested a manual transmission as an object of study.
A shop manual is a 'how-to' guide for mechanics, and is specific to a particular model or series of vehicles. Since I don't know where you live, I can't say as to where you can get one easily. Your local library or school auto mechanics shop might have one. In my case, I just borrow one from my mechanic and photocopy the pages that I need.
You could also go to 'How Stuff Works' (.com). They have an excellent section on how gears work.
 
Hi Danger, I'm trying to accomplish a physics project, and my subject is torque . Thees is the subject I have to work with it. I'm a college student ,and I live on Mississippi state (U.S.A). My subject not about the mechanics ,its about Torque= arm lever. force (T=RF).
I need some Torque's subjects, and pictures to paste it on my project poster.
Thank you

You should not be using PF this way. You're almost asking for us to do this work for you. It is STILL your project.

Narrow down what you want to do. Come up with some ideas. THEN if you don't understand any part of that idea, that is when you make use of PF and ask specific question.

Please read the https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5374". Members here are NOT allowed to simply give out answers or do the work for students seeking help.

Dur, it appears that my misunderstanding of your problem cost you several hours of your project time. My apologies for that.
As ZapperZ pointed out, though, this is something that you have to try on your own. To start with, anything that you need to know should be in your course material. Review your textbooks and notes. If you hit serious snags in your understanding or practical approach, we can guide you. We can't do the work for you.
 
Hi ZapperZ, I'm not ask to do ma work, my question is how can I find the good subject to start doing my physics project...thank you

Hi danger, thank you
My regard
