How a spiral torsion spring works

AI Thread Summary
A spiral torsion spring functions by storing energy through the twisting of its coils, which creates potential energy that can be released to perform work. The physics behind it involves torque and angular displacement, where the spring's resistance to twisting is proportional to the angle of twist. For detailed information, resources such as physics textbooks, engineering websites, and academic articles on mechanical springs are recommended. Understanding the mechanics of a diving board can also provide insights into how energy is stored and released in similar systems. Exploring these resources will clarify the principles of spiral torsion springs and their applications.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

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...
