  2. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle from the vertical direction, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. [1] [2] [3] The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines defined by Renaissance scientists. Inclined planes are used to move ...

  3. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    Free body and kinetic diagrams of an inclined block. In dynamics a kinetic diagram is a pictorial device used in analyzing mechanics problems when there is determined to be a net force and/or moment acting on a body. They are related to and often used with free body diagrams, but depict only the net force and moment rather than all of the ...

  4. Mohr's circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohr's_circle

    Any straight line drawn from the pole will intersect the Mohr circle at a point that represents the state of stress on a plane inclined at the same orientation (parallel) in space as that line. The second approach involves the determination of a point on the Mohr circle called the pole or the origin of planes. Any straight line drawn from the ...

    An auxiliary view is an orthographic view that is projected into any plane other than one of the six primary views. [12] These views are typically used when an object contains some sort of inclined plane. Using the auxiliary view allows for that inclined plane (and any other significant features) to be projected in their true size and shape.

  6. Wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge

    The blade is a compound inclined plane, consisting of two inclined planes placed so that the planes meet at one edge. When the edge where the two planes meet is pushed into a solid or fluid substance, it overcomes the resistance of materials to separate by transferring the force exerted against the material into two opposing forces normal to ...

  7. Projectile motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projectile_motion

    Practical solutions of a ballistics problem often require considerations of air resistance, cross winds, target motion, acceleration due to gravity varying with height, and in such problems as launching a rocket from one point on the Earth to another, the horizon's distance vs curvature R of the Earth (its local speed of rotation () = ()).

  8. Simple machine - Wikipedia

    Similarly, the flat surface of an inclined plane and wedge are examples of the kinematic pair called a sliding joint. The screw is usually identified as its own kinematic pair called a helical joint. Two levers, or cranks, are combined into a planar four-bar linkage by attaching a link that connects the output of one crank to the input of another.

  9. Multiview orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    Fig.11: The fourth plane of projection is added parallel to the chosen inclined surface, and perforce, perpendicular to the first (Frontal) plane of projection. Fig.12: Projectors emanate parallel from all points of the object perpendicularly from the inclined surface, and perforce, perpendicular to the fourth (Auxiliary) plane of projection.
