  2. Resultant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant

    Macaulay's resultant is a polynomial in the coefficients of these n homogeneous polynomials that vanishes if and only if the polynomials have a common non-zero solution in an algebraically closed field containing the coefficients, or, equivalently, if the n hyper surfaces defined by the polynomials have a common zero in the n –1 dimensional ...

  3. Rayleigh–Ritz method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Ritz_method

    For example, in the case of beam deflection problems it is wise to use a deformed shape that is analytically similar to the expected solution. A quartic may fit most of the easy problems of simply linked beams even if the order of the deformed solution may be lower.

  4. Equilibrant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrant_Force

    Because the angle of the equilibrant force is opposite of the resultant force, if 180 degrees are added or subtracted to the resultant force's angle, the equilibrant force's angle will be known. Multiplying the resultant force vector by a -1 will give the correct equilibrant force vector: <-10, -8>N x (-1) = <10, 8>N = C.

  5. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    Figure 1: Parallelogram construction for adding vectors. This construction has the same result as moving F 2 so its tail coincides with the head of F 1, and taking the net force as the vector joining the tail of F 1 to the head of F 2. This procedure can be repeated to add F 3 to the resultant F 1 + F 2, and so forth.

  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. Linear complementarity problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_complementarity_problem

    If M is such that LCP(q, M) has a solution for every q, then M is a Q-matrix. If M is such that LCP(q, M) have a unique solution for every q, then M is a P-matrix. Both of these characterizations are sufficient and necessary. [4] The vector w is a slack variable, [5] and so is generally discarded after z is found. As such, the problem can also ...

  8. 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

  9. Vector calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_calculus

    Vector calculus or vector analysis is a branch of mathematics concerned with the differentiation and integration of vector fields, primarily in three-dimensional Euclidean space, . [1] The term vector calculus is sometimes used as a synonym for the broader subject of multivariable calculus, which spans vector calculus as well as partial differentiation and multiple integration.
