Force Definition and 1000 Threads

Hello, I have a question: Why is the y-component of the force at turning flight equal to the weight force? Here, Fs is equal to Fg. But why? I tried to explain it myself but I didn't get it

A simply-supported steel beam with a vertical point force P is shown in Fig. 2(a). A cross-section of the beam, which is composed of two identical C-shaped members bolted back-to-back, is shown in Fig. 2(b). Both C-shaped members have a uniform thickness of 1 cm. Pairs of bolts are located at a...

Can anyone help me with a formula that would show the effect the counterforce of the neck will have on the direction the knife is moving, to be able to determine what a cut in a given direction what will be its direction of force? (I apologize for not following the guidelines for homework...

I think i could deal with this problem interpreting this force like a central force, what seems pretty nice to me, since in a circular orbit the force will always pass through the center, if it is perpendicular to the velocity. I thought, since the force is central and in this case, spherically...

I need some advice and help please -Is There a two body force field suitable to study silica crystal or alpha quartz crystal? it's okay to gives Approximate results. - Is the BKS force field suitable for silica crystal? - If there are other simple terms of force field for studying the silica...

I figure that there is a connection with how much a given forces displaces the rope in the perpendicularly direction. Obviously the more tension on the rope then there will be less displacement with a given force. I'm not sure how to progress from that point. Any other ideas on how to estimate...

Vehicle Mass : 3 tonnes Manufacturer's instruction is to test vehicle's parking brake effectiveness is to engage parking brake on 30.96 degrees slope. If it holds, it is effective. I do not have 30.96 degrees slope & I want to replicate the same test on flat ground. I was thinking of...

I have an ordinary switchable magnet for holding tools to a lathe. It's like a magnetic force gearbox, but I can't quite understand the force multiplication. When placed on a steel surface the switch force is approximately ~5N on both finger and thumb at 1.5cm radius acting over a 3cm arc...

This is how I understand the torque (T1) created at the axis of rotation due to the spring would be calculated. This is considering the spring is starting from a fully extended state and is not already compressed. This is considering that (A) has a distance of 2 in. and the force from the spring...

If the mu of the ferrite is high, as suggested, the B field on that section of wire is zero, and therefore there is no force on the wire. Instead there is a comparable force on the ferrite itself. But suppose you allow the ferrite to have different values of mu. If mu=1 the force is just...

"The force is zero" means the total force act on the particle is zero? Then there must be an external force. If not, then Fx=0 ? since Fx = d(U(x))/dx, the answer of (b) should be (i), but how about (a)?

Let: Smaller block = m1 = 1 kg Large block = m2 = 2 kg Coefficient of friction between the two blocks = μ1 = 0.2 Coefficient of friction between larger block and floor = μ2 = 0.3 Tension connecting two blocks through two pulleys = T Angle between tension and horizontal = θ = 37o Friction between...

Let F_ki be the force applied by a point mass i on a point mass k. This force depends on the variables x_k and x_i which are the position vectors of respectively k and i (to simplify let´'s consider this in 1 dimension). Suppose this force is conservative. Then, according to my course and...

Consider a coil perpendicular to the ground falling with gravity. Under it, there is a magnetic field also perpendicular to the coil. When the coil starts penetrating the magnetic field there will be an induced current and therefore a magnetic force upwards. This magnetic force will reduce...

Hello, let's imagine a generator as shown in image. I just don't understand alternative current. -\epsilon shouldn't be always positive? Otherwise, how can it provide anything? Thanks

Faraday's law: \epsilon=-N\dfrac{\Delta{\phi}}{\Delta{t}}=-N\dfrac{\Delta{(BA\cos{\theta})}}{\Delta{t}}=-N\dfrac{\Delta{(BA\cos{(\omega t)})}}{\Delta{t}} Applying calculus \epsilon=NBA\omega\cos{(\omega t)} Shouldn't it be \epsilon=NBA\omega\sin{(\omega t)}, just if I apply limits? Thanks

A gun fires 6 bullets per second into a target. The mass of each bullet is 3g & the speed of 500 m/s. Find the average force required to hold the gun in position.

First, start off with x and y directional forces F (Test object 1) - F x(Test object 2) I need help primarily with finding the horizontal component of the force from object 2. How do I find it and express it? Thanks

According to general relativity, gravity is not a force, however it is referred as one of the four fundamental forces. This seems like a contradiction.

I tried solving this by assuming the acceleration of the truck and block to be the same so the block would stay on the incline. Also, I would assume truck ma = static friction, block ma = mgsintheta... then I solved for a to plug into 1st equation to get 12990 N. Is this correct? I wasn't sure...

Like AT asked I post a new thread because it is a different example, here there is no friction and I use a needle and an elastic to have the forces. The circle moves in horizontal translation, the circle doesn't rotate around itself, the red wall rotates around A0, and A0 is fixed to the...

A bending moment about an axis passing through a cross section arises due to an uneven distribution of stress across the cross section, like so: I have read that any given bending moment is equivalent to a force couple applied about that axis. That is to say that the curly moment arrow on a...

Hi! I need help with this problem. m1-2-3-4 and R are given. There is no slip in the system. I have to give F1-2-3-4 in respect of the masses and R. Here is what I managed to m1 is easy: m1*a = m1*g - T(tension of the rope) m2: m2*a = T - (?) <-- I have a problem with this. F1 and F3 is the...

My guess is that the force per volume is: $$ \vec F_V = \rho \alpha x \hat x + \vec J \times \beta x \hat y$$ but I'm not sure where to go after that. I'm not given a value for either the charge density or the current density, so I can't simplify the relation much. Further, I'm not sure if my...

Thought of doing this one years ago! Basically, I want to 'see' the magnetic force lines that surround a conductor when energized (with an alternating current). I appreciate that what I will see (or at least I am hoping to see) is the pattern formed by the iron dust in response the the field...

At first, I thought when the rod goes really far away from the particle, then L would approach to zero in a particle's reference view. As a result, the equation will be GmM/d^2. However, I just thought that L just remain as it is regardless of change in d, but not sure...

Hello, I have designed a gearbox that bolts on to a fixed engine and fixed pump. It is completely supported by them. The total mass of the gearbox and the components attaching it to the engine and pump is 7.7kg. Its centre of mass is 0.167m along the x-axis and 0.09m along the z-axis from the...

Dear, Could you tell me if the calculations on the attachment are correct? I need to determine the force necessary to prevent the clamp from slipping. Basically the clamp is a part of rubber that I can press against the pipe wall. A load will be attached to this part of rubber. The tube is...

Situation: Let’s say we have a wire bent into a circular shape, there lies a bead through the wire and it can slide through it. The wire is kept in vertical plane and is swung along the axis AB. My question : How the centripetal force is provided to the bead? The bead will go into a...

Hi, I previously posted about the statically indeterminate truck problem. Thank you to everyone who helped me. However, I now realized that isn't the problem I need to solve. I need to know the force of the linear actuators to lift the rear tyres off the ground. Since the tyres will be...

Please help. Thank you.

I found the correct solution using the equation that relates force and pressure, but I don't REALLY understand what the question is asking and what is actually going on in the machine. I want a better understanding of everything that's going on, not just an answer. Below is a clear diagram and a...

Suppose we have a system of particles being acted upon by a single external force ##\mathbf{F}^{e}##. Each individual particle feels a force of ##\mathbf{f}_i = \mathbf{f}_{i}^{int} + \mathbf{f}_{i}^{e}## such that ##\sum_i \mathbf{f}_{i}^{e} = \mathbf{F}^{e}##, and ##\mathbf{f}_{i}^{int}## are...

I can say that the frictional force always against the rolling sphere and the velocity is increasing for the ball. So The dot product F.v keeps on getting more and more negative, so how can the Pf remain constant? Well the velocity increases along the incline and the force of gravity is down...

Block A is accelerating at a= 49.6/0.5 m/s (99.2m/s) Block B force is F= 3kg * 99.2 = 297.6N but I'm not sure where to go from here?

We have a rod ##AB## of mass ##m##, a force (perpendicular to AB) is applied at ##A##. I want to know how much force will ##B## going to feel? When ##F_1## is applied at ##A## rod will rotate about its COM (which lies at the Center) and hence the point ##B## will also move (a little downwards...

If I have a motor that is turning a shaft with only a small torque required but the shaft is also being forced into the motor, axially at a large force, what is the effect on the motor here? If Faxial is large, does this effect T and how does this effect the motor?

Hi, Please have a look on the attachment. The displacement of swing from the equilibrium position, x=0, is considered to be maximum, +x, when the swing reaches the person who is pushing it. The pushing force is of short duration and could be approximated by a pulse. I hope I have it correct...

p man= mv p man = 90 (7) p man= 630 p sled= mv p sled= 100 (0) p sled= 0 p man+sled= 630 + 0 p man+sled= 630 fg man= mg fg man= 90 (9.8) fg man= 882 fg sled= mg fg sled= 100 (9.8) fg sled= 980 fg sled+man= 980+882 fg sled+man= 1862

I am conducting tensile test on a bigger scale. When the material breaks i have the maximum kilograms that can be a applied to the material. I pull horizontal in a rubber patches glued to a rubber sheet and i want to find the maximum tensile strength in the glue. How do i convert my 2000 kg pull...

This is my homework. And we don't have online lessons. But my teacher gave this for homework. I couldn't solve this problem. Can you help me?

Hi all, not exactly a physicist however I am finding that the expertise of those in this field, would be massively appreciated in the field I am currently delving into - exercise science. Specifically an understanding of engineering physics. As described above, in short I am trying to work out...

In my textbook, the effective force of a particle on a rotating frame is given as below: The diagram is: What I do not understand is the expression for Rf dotdot, which is given as below: According to the book, an arbitary vector Q can be expressed as: So Rdotdot w.r.t fixed frame can be...

hello there, I am wondering if my attempt at a solution for this particular problem correct?? I mean I know that the blocks won't move and the total friction force is 38.95N (at least lesser than that, since that is the maximum static friction). I saw someone attempted the solution but it is...

I'm often got confused about why the direction of pseudo force is taken opposite to the direction of motion of the body. As specific, I have this question. In this, I didn't understood about why the direction of pseudo force is taken in right, in the diagram of solution provided to this...

1. When a car turns there is a centripetal force towards the centre. This centripetal force is labelled as a static frictional force. I don't understand where this static frictional force arises from. Friction is meant to oppose motion, but I don't see the motion that is parallel to the friction...

adding all the torques around the red circle position (taking clockside direction as positive ): -M*g*L*sin(theta)-k*x*y=I *w (considering that the suspension bar is of negligible mass as the problem indicates )here "x" is the normal "x" of hooke's law (I don't know exactly what it is for a...

Lets say you have a completely rigid blue-colored object shaped as shown below. The object had one wide protrusion on one side and four smaller protrusions on the other side. Everything is completely symmetric so that the weight would be evenly distributed. Let's say you press with 12 N of force...

Exercise like this: I think that the friction force can assume two direction, up and down, but how can i know the direction of the force? I want to say, i don't even know which mass is greater to say i the block will upward or downward. that is the doubt. That is the correct forces directions...
