Report role of physics in engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the integration of physics in engineering, emphasizing that engineering is essentially applied physics. Participants encourage the poster to specify the type of engineering they are focusing on, suggesting that different fields like mechanical engineering (ME) or electrical engineering (EE) have unique applications of physics principles. Suggestions for topics include fundamental concepts like force and motion, which are crucial in engineering contexts. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding how physics principles are utilized in practical engineering scenarios. Overall, the thread underscores the interconnectedness of physics and engineering in developing effective solutions.

Hi guys i have to do a report on 3 different topics in physics and how they have been used in engineering. Can you guys suggest me some topics? and help me find good info
thanx

Um, pick any topic you want. Engineering is applied physics. In fact, it doesn't even make sense to separate the two.

Welcome to the PF. I agree with Cyrus, Engineering is really Applied Physics, at least a form of it.

What kind of Engineering are you doing to focus on for this report? Since you posted in the ME forum, are you looking for ME applications? There are a number in EE, but probably many in ME as well.

Please post more details, and tell us what you think some of the topics might be...
 
any topic like force and motion etc. What should i write that how that plays a role in engineering
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
