  2. Lami's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lami's_theorem

    In physics, Lami's theorem is an equation relating the magnitudes of three coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear vectors, which keeps an object in static equilibrium, with the angles directly opposite to the corresponding vectors.

  3. Coplanarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coplanarity

    In geometry, a set of points in space are coplanar if there exists a geometric plane that contains them all. For example, three points are always coplanar, and if the points are distinct and non-collinear, the plane they determine is unique. However, a set of four or more distinct points will, in general, not lie in a single plane.

    A force arrow should lie along the line of force, but where along the line is irrelevant. A force on an extended rigid body is a sliding vector. non-rigid extended. The point of application of a force becomes crucial and has to be indicated on the diagram. A force on a non-rigid body is a bound vector. Some use the tail of the arrow to indicate ...

  5. Shear stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_stress

    A shearing force is applied to the top of the rectangle while the bottom is held in place. The resulting shear stress, τ, deforms the rectangle into a parallelogram. The area involved would be the top of the parallelogram. Shear stress (often denoted by τ, Greek: tau) is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.

  6. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem, which describes how n objects move under one of the physical forces, such as gravity. These problems have a global analytical solution in the form of a convergent power series, as was proven by Karl F. Sundman for n = 3 and by Qiudong Wang for n > 3 (see n -body problem for details).

  7. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

    A single force acting at any point O′ of a rigid body can be replaced by an equal and parallel force F acting at any given point O and a couple with forces parallel to F whose moment is M = Fd, d being the separation of O and O′. Conversely, a couple and a force in the plane of the couple can be replaced by a single force, appropriately ...

  9. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    The second diagram is the loading diagram and contains the reaction forces from the joints. A simple triangular truss with loads imposed . Since there is a pin joint at A, it will have 2 reaction forces. One in the x direction and the other in the y direction. At point B, there is a roller joint and hence only 1 reaction force in the y direction.
