    Force Lift Weight
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the force needed to lift a 1 kg weight using a rod positioned at a 45-degree angle. The force is applied at point G on rod GF, with the direction influenced by a string attachment. Participants question how the angle affects the lifting force, noting that a 90-degree angle would make lifting easier compared to a 20-degree angle. Clarifications are requested on the force vector's direction and the impact of the fixed angle on the lifting process. The conversation emphasizes the need for calculations and vector illustrations to understand the mechanics involved.

can you please help me with this as i am confused? I am designing a frame for my project.

I have a rod GF connected to rod AB at point F at 45 Degrees. The dimensions are mentioned in the attached word file. There is a weight of 1 Kg at side resting on rod AB nead end - A.

what is the force required to lift this weight? please show the calculations.



thanks

Where will the force be applied ?
 
the force is applied at point G, of the rod GF.
 
In what direction? Is the arrow to the right supposed to be the force vector?
In that case I don't see why that force would lift the weight at all?

Also, is the 45deg angle fixed?
 
actually i am going to connect a string at point G. So the direction of force will be pretty much the direciton of arrow shown, however it can vary slightly as its a string which will be applying the force and not a solid rod.

The angle of 45 deg is fixed. will it be easy to lift the weight if the angle was 90 deg? or more difficult if the angle was only 20 deg? how would the angle and direction of force affect the lifting of weight? can you please show the vectors and calculations?
 

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

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...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

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...
