Symmetric Axial Vector Torque and Uniform Forces: Exploring Equivalence

AI Thread Summary
A symmetric axial vector torque can indeed be related to the shear stress resulting from two uniform rectilinear forces, despite initial perceptions of their disconnection. Torque is defined as the product of force and the distance from the pivot point, which can be represented by a pair of equal and opposite forces that are not aligned. This relationship illustrates how different physical concepts can be interconnected in mechanics. Understanding these connections enhances the comprehension of torque and shear stress in various applications. The discussion emphasizes the importance of exploring the relationships between different mechanical forces.

Would it be possible for a symmetric axial vector torque to be equivalent to the shear stress of two uniform rectilinear forces? as they seem to be non-related, but it works out that they should be.

Hi rae20! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Any torque is equal to a pair of equal and opposite forces that aren't lined-up. :wink:
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...

Thread 'Time of flight measurement uncertainty'

Hello! I am generating electrons from a 3D gaussian source. The electrons all have the same energy, but the direction is isotropic. The electron source is in between 2 plates that act as a capacitor, and one of them acts as a time of flight (tof) detector. I know the voltage on the plates very well, and I want to extract the center of the gaussian distribution (in one direction only), by measuring the tof of many electrons. So the uncertainty on the position is given by the tof uncertainty...
