  2. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    where is the angle (in radians) between the two flat sides of the pulley that the v-belt presses against. [5] A flat belt has an effective angle of α = π {\displaystyle \alpha =\pi } . The material of a V-belt or multi-V serpentine belt tends to wedge into the mating groove in a pulley as the load increases, improving torque transmission.

  3. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    Key: N = Normal force that is perpendicular to the plane, W=mg, where m = mass, g = gravity, and θ = Angle of inclination of the plane. The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the weight of the load on the ramp to the force required to pull it up the ramp. If energy is not dissipated or stored in the movement of the load ...

  4. Isometric exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_exercise

    For example, in a bench press set-up the barbell can be held in a fixed position and neither pushed upwards nor allowed to descend. Alternatively, in a mid-thigh pull set-up, a person can attempt to pull a fixed, immovable bar upwards. Example of an unweighted overcoming isometric exercise

    The incline bench helps eliminate that as you glue our chest to the pad, while also changing the angle of pull just slightly, helping you attack your lower lats more. ... Pull your upper arms back ...

  6. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    P is the tension or pull applied to the tape; newtons. A tape held in catenary will record a value larger than the correct measurement. Thus, the correction C s {\displaystyle C_{s}} is subtracted from L {\displaystyle L} to obtain the corrected distance:

  7. Load factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_factor_(aeronautics)

    For example, in a turn with a 60° angle of bank the load factor is +2. Again, if the same turn is performed with the aircraft inverted, the load factor becomes −2. In general, in a balanced turn in which the angle of bank is θ, the load factor n is related to the cosine of θ as [1] [2]: 407 = ⁡.

  8. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tension_(physics)

    For example, consider a system consisting of an object that is being lowered vertically by a string with tension, T, at a constant velocity. The system has a constant velocity and is therefore in equilibrium because the tension in the string, which is pulling up on the object, is equal to the weight force , mg ("m" is mass, "g" is the ...

  9. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.
