  2. Resultant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant_force

    Graphical placing of the resultant force. In physics and engineering, a resultant force is the single force and associated torque obtained by combining a system of forces and torques acting on a rigid body via vector addition. The defining feature of a resultant force, or resultant force-torque, is that it has the same effect on the rigid body ...

  3. Cross product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_product

    In mathematics, the cross product or vector product (occasionally directed area product, to emphasize its geometric significance) is a binary operation on two vectors in a three-dimensional oriented Euclidean vector space (named here ), and is denoted by the symbol . Given two linearly independent vectors a and b, the cross product, a × b ...

  4. Equilibrant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrant_Force

    Equilibrant force. In mechanics, an equilibrant force is a force which brings a body into mechanical equilibrium. [1] According to Newton's second law, a body has zero acceleration when the vector sum of all the forces acting upon it is zero: Therefore, an equilibrant force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the resultant of all ...

  5. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    The parallelogram of forces is a method for solving (or visualizing) the results of applying two forces to an object. When more than two forces are involved, the geometry is no longer a parallelogram, but the same principles apply to a polygon of forces. The resultant force due to the application of a number of forces can be found geometrically ...

  6. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    When two forces act on a point particle, the resulting force, the resultant (also called the net force), can be determined by following the parallelogram rule of vector addition: the addition of two vectors represented by sides of a parallelogram, gives an equivalent resultant vector that is equal in magnitude and direction to the transversal ...

  7. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    Classical mechanics. In physics, a couple is a system of forces with a resultant (a.k.a. net or sum) moment of force but no resultant force. [1] A more descriptive term is force couple or pure moment. Its effect is to impart angular momentum but no linear momentum. In rigid body dynamics, force couples are free vectors, meaning their effects on ...

  8. Coulomb's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb's_law

    Coulomb's inverse-square law, or simply Coulomb's law, is an experimental law [1] of physics that calculates the amount of force between two electrically charged particles at rest. This electric force is conventionally called the electrostatic force or Coulomb force. [2] Although the law was known earlier, it was first published in 1785 by ...

  9. Aerodynamic force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamic_force

    The aerodynamic force is the resultant vector from adding the lift vector, perpendicular to the flow direction, and the drag vector, parallel to the flow direction. Forces on an aerofoil. In fluid mechanics, an aerodynamic force is a force exerted on a body by the air (or other gas) in which the body is immersed, and is due to the relative ...
