Shear and tensile force questions

AI Thread Summary
To determine if a solid can withstand a 20N load, calculate the tensile and shear stresses using the formulas: tensile stress = force/area and shear stress = force/area. Given the tensile stress of 15N/mm² and shear stress of 12N/mm², compare these values against the calculated stresses from the applied load. Ensure that the calculated stresses do not exceed the material's capacity. By applying these formulas, one can effectively assess the solid's ability to handle the specified load.

suppose i have 4 solids like this:
and the solid have shear stress and tensile stress 12N/mm2 and 15N/mm2 respectively,
suppose i know the area of each surface,
how can i judge whether this solid is able to withstand 20N load?
what kind of formula should i use?

Well, you know the formulas for tensile stress and shearing stress, right ?

Just apply them !
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
