  2. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    Torsion of a square section bar Example of torsion mechanics. In the field of solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque. [1] [2] Torsion could be defined as strain [3] [4] or angular deformation, [5] and is measured by the angle a chosen section is rotated from its equilibrium position. [6]

  3. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    For example, for rod length 6" and crank radius 2", numerically solving the above equation finds the velocity minima (maximum downward speed) to be at crank angle of 73.17530° after TDC. Then, using the triangle sine law , it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21832° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60639° from vertical ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the oncoming airflow. A symmetrical airfoil generates zero lift at zero angle of attack. But as the angle of attack increases, the air is deflected through a larger angle and the vertical component of the airstream velocity increases, resulting in more lift.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Trajectory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trajectory

    The initial angle, θ i, is the angle at which said object is released. The g is the respective gravitational pull on the object within a null-medium. R = v i 2 sin ⁡ 2 θ i g {\displaystyle R={v_{i}^{2}\sin 2\theta _{i} \over g}}

  8. Centripetal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centripetal_force

    One common example involving centripetal force is the case in which a body moves with uniform speed along a circular path. The centripetal force is directed at right angles to the motion and also along the radius towards the centre of the circular path. [3] [4] The mathematical description was derived in 1659 by the Dutch physicist Christiaan ...

  9. Force - Wikipedia

    The magnitude of the resultant varies from the difference of the magnitudes of the two forces to their sum, depending on the angle between their lines of action. [4]: ch.12 [5] Free body diagrams of a block on a flat surface and an inclined plane. Forces are resolved and added together to determine their magnitudes and the net force.
