Hi all I am trying to get my head around some units of force. 1) I have units of:- Kg * m / s^2 Am I correct in thinking that these are units of Newtons. So if I had 560Kg * m / s^2, then can I say 560 Newtons - would this be correct? 2) Secondly I have units of:- kg/s^2 I have no idea...

Hello all I am trying to understand the pressure equation. I have the following question:- I understand this, to me what this says to me is the total force acting on the wall as a result of the water of 12m is 706320 Pascals.This is where I get a little confused, I have the following...

If there was an atractive force between air molecules, how could this be measured? The force should be small. In the range of the force between watermolecules (hydrogen bond).

I first wrote down that 55% = Eout/Ein I also know that W = (Facos20)(4) and I substitute it into the first equation 55% = Eout/[(Facos20)(4)] But I'm missing two variables here. Did i forget something or is the question missing some information?

Hi all! I have used this forum a few times and it has been very helpful, however now I am stuck. I have completed the question above however I have conflicting information regarding the Tensile and Shear force being applied to the rivet. I use the following calculation for this: Shear Force...

Hello, I am reviewing the concept of tension, a force that expresses the internal tensional state in a body (rope, chain, string, solid body). My understanding is that the force of tension "derives" from the stress tensor and relates (it is the product) the diagonal tensor components to an...

Posted on more pseudescience related sites is a story about, a group that claim to have discovered evidence of a new force of nature, with a claimed sigma of 7,7. The arxiv paper have not yet been peer-reviewed, so I am not sure if it is allowed. If not I am sorry, and will understand. I am...

I know muslces have fibers and all sorts of structures but how do they actually attract themselves to each other on a very atomic level? Is it some sort fo chemical bonding force or?

A container of height 3m and width 5m is filled with water upto 2 m. It is accelerated such that the water is at the brim (it is about to spill). When it moves with this acceleration find the force acting per unit width on the vertical wall. I found the acceleration for the condition provided...

Hello, How can I calculate the force that must be exerted on a ball inside a rubber tube? Thanks

I'm not so sure how to begin with this problem. I was thinking of usign superposition. I think that the field on the conductor due to the parallel segments of the coil is zero, since Ampere's Law tells us that the field outside the solenoid is zero, right? For the perpendicular segments, I used...

F=Gm1m2/r^2 2.67 = (6.67x10^-11)(m1xm2)/25000000 M1xM2 = 1 x 10^18 M2 = 1x10^18/M1 (Equation 1) From the question stem, we know M1 + M2 = 2.5x10^9 (Equation 2) So, substituting Equation 1 into Equation 2 we get: 1x10^18/m1 + m1 = 2.5 x 10^9 I'M STUCK FROM HERE ONWARDS... in the solutions...

Hello, I hope you are all very well ! Let's say a man, standing on point "0 m" throws a ball 10 m in the air. The gravitational force goes in the opposite (down (always)) of the action (up): I supposed it's -9.81 m/s². The same action but this time the man stands on the point "10 m" and the...

Summary: How to define dimensions of an inertia wheel Firstly, I have been working in aviation industry, making me to involve in the Physics a lot. For the last few weeks, There have been a problem to solve since the manfacturer had not wanted to help us by not sharing information. We have...

Well i think centripetal force is inversely proportional to the radius, so I'm guessing it would decrease but not sure to be honest.

Summary: I know that in order to keep inverted pendulum balanced when it leans forward, I should accelerate the bottom of it, but what is the force which is applied to center of mass of the pendulum with balances torque due to gravity? Is it inertial force? We assume that our inverted pendulum...

Here's what I have done: Let t1 be the time taken for the ball to reach the ground after the first bounce, and ux be the initial speed in the horizontal direction of ball. Also, let v be the speed after the bounce. For horizontal, $$\dfrac {4}{3}H=U_{x}t_{1} $$ For vertical, $$H=\dfrac...

As per (b) in the above image, or easily solved with t=rFsin(theta), the perpendicular force is 260N. When inputting that value into the equation for torque, the value for torque is 520Nm, as per t=2.00*300*sin60. Because the wedge prevents the door from moving, the torque on/at the doorknob...

##\int \!dτ = \int \!P.dA.x ## Here, I am taking torque of the part above the axis##(τ_1)## ,which is clockwise, and the torque of the part below the axis ##(τ_2)##, which is anticlockwise, separately. Now, let me consider a thin strip ##dx## at a height ##x## from the axis. ##τ_1 =...

I was thinking that we can equate the electrostatic potential energy and the spring energy (as the force is similar to that of a spring so energy will also be 1/2kx^2 ) but i am not getting the correct ans but by equating the net force on one charge to kr i am getting the correct ans can...

Its a very basic problem and my friend suggested a solution that we should equate mg and kx ie mg=kx and just plug in m=8 and x=0.16 but i think that we should equate the energies like mgx=1/2kx^2 ie because at the point where mg will be equal to kx the mass will still have a velocity hence it...

Hello all I was hoping some could shed some light on the idea of shear force on members. I have the following simply supported beam:- Considering only the left of the beam to just to the right of F1; my gut instinct would be to say that the shear force or failure is greatest at the...

Hello, I have 2 pics about my case, I has designed crane boom and the problem has occurred when i came this point. As you see the pics, i want to find piston force. Could you help me about this ? (Dimensions=mm )

Σ F= -F(gravity from earth) + F(normal from earth) -F(normal from top box) +F(normal from bottom box) = (2+5) * 2.5 The forces from gravity and it's normal force cancel out, leaving us with the normal forces from the boxes. F(net of normal from boxes) = (2+5) * 2.5 = 17.5N

Hello all! I have a mathematical question for you. I'm trying to design a thrust bearing that can withstand axial and moment loads. I've added a picture of a similar design. The design consists of two rings (grey) and sliding pads (blue) fixed on the bottom ring. The top ring slides over the...

So I am trying to answer a question which is about an egg toss game where two people try to throw an egg at each other without breaking it.The question is how can the force of impact be reduced so that the egg doesn't break. With respect to the F = Δ p / Δ t formula, I think increasing time of...

Tried net force = (g)sin(θ)- μ(g)cos(θ)

force = 4.2e7 J/90 m = 466666.6667 N this minus 2.10e5 = 2.57e5 N rounded This is incorrect, so I'm probably missing a formula or something.

If an up quark has 2/3 of positive charge and down quark has 1/3 of negative charge then why don't they add together by their electromagnetic force?

Homework Statement: I have to design a rigid wheel for a 4 wheel vehicle that will be able to traverse rough terrain. The wheel I have in mind is a cylinder with two disks with spokes at almost both edges. I don't know how thick the cylinder or how many spokes the disks should have so I...

Hello Everyone, A small dilemma: is force, which is a vector, a free vector, since it can be slid along its along of application, thus changing its point of application (principle of transmissibility) or a bound vector, since the point of application of the force is crucial for the effect the...

The arrow is following projectile motion to the target when released from an archer's bow. v vertical = 10ms^-1 v horizontal = 50 ms^-1 resultant v = √2600 mass of arrow = 20*10^-3 I attempted to use F avg = mΔv/Δt to calcualte the average force where Δt = 5*10^-3 /...

Hi, I am a bit out of my league here, but had a question. I have 5 pieces of .25" thick foam/padding of different densities, and I wanted to measure which one absorbs the most energy (weakens the impact) when struck by a fist/punch or even a ball, how would I do that? I ran across a...

I got acceleration by dividing force by m then replaced a by dv/dt and then integrated it to get velocity as a fxn of time and hence got kinetic energy but problem is my ans does not match with any option can someone please compare their ans

Let R_{1} be the reaction force on the jumper from the ground. Assuming this is larger than the combined mass of the 3 sections of human, if we consider the entire system we will get an upward acceleration (a is labelled as the acceleration of the COM; it will of course vary from the bottom to...

Hello Community I was hoping someone could me with the following question:- A rectangular tank contains water. It is 12m long, 4m wide and has a height of 3m. If the tank is full determine:- 1) The Force on the long side 2) The Force on the short side 3) The moment at the bottom of the long...

My teacher never actually taught us how to do this problem, so I have zero idea what to do.

##-Fr=m.a## ##-cv^2=m.a## ##-cv^2=m.\frac{dv}{dt}## ##dt=-\frac{m}{cv^2} dv## After integrating, I get ##t=\frac{m}{c.v}-\frac{m}{c.v_0}## Then, solving for ##v## we get ##v=\frac{m.v_0}{v_0.t.c+m}## ##\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{m.v_0}{v_0.t.c+m}## After integrating that, I get an expression for...

I am attempting to calculate the force (in KgF) of a water pump + nozzle system. I have the pump curve (head vs. flow rate) for the pump, the diameter of the connection hose (2 inches) and the nozzle diameter (1 inch). The connection hose between the pump and nozzle is very short (approx 10 cm)...

Consider a spring with one end attached to a wall and the other to a free mass, which is then stretched so some potential energy U. After it has been released and has de-stretched, the change of elastic potential energy is -U which equates to the negative of the work done by the spring force on...

I tried to find the the Electric field due to the image charge. So the potential due to the image charge is V=-(pR^2)/√(4R^2-4rRcos(θ)+r^2). When I took the gradient of that in spherical coordinates, I got a mess that doesn't seem to be possible to integrate.

Guys I was just wondering if normal force is a contact force. Obviously it is considered a contact force but it also has something to do with the repelling of atoms. In my mind, normal force is a fundamental truth, but technically, are two objects touching or is there a minuscule space between...

m1 is the large cruise ship m2 is the tug boat The question doesn't state it explicitly, but I assume that both masses are undergoing acceleration because the tug boat is experiencing a change in velocity. I assume the system accelerates uniformly, and I assume that m1 and m2 accelerate...

used a) change in momentum / time, time from from kinematics equation d = vi+vf/2 *t ... 0.1 = 300*t =3.33*10^-4 then 600/0.00333 = 1.8*10 ^5 how to proceed?

I want you to tell me if I'm right For 1), does ##m_2## feel a normal force? Because I don't think so, since it isn't pushing the wall. For 2), ##m_2## suffers a normal force because it feels a pseudo-force to the left and so it pushes the wall

I'm trying to determine the force needed for one object to displace another object underwater. Specifically, Object A strikes Object B hard enough to jettison it from the seafloor up to sea level/land, let's say the Pacific coastline. I have a timeframe in mind, density & mass of the two...
