What is an example of torsion force? An example of a torsional force would be anytime a force acting on an object results in a twisted or rotating motion. This twisting movement happens when an applied torque or force encounters an opposing force which generates shear strain. This opposing force could be a result of…
Consider the sketch of the movable crane. Make a free-body diagram of the mobile crane. The wheels are 4 ft apart and the center of gravity is halfway between the wheels. Assume the ballast is an external force acting one foot behind the left axle and that the weight hanging off the crane at point…
Have you ever wondered how an automotive suspension system is designed? From ATVs (all-terrain vehicles) to locomotives to modern passenger automobiles most types of vehicles that move people from one place to another rely on a suspension system to improve ride quality and comfort. There are a few common types of automotive suspension systems such…
The cable will fail when subjected to a tension of 2 kN. Determine the largest vertical load P the frame will support and calculate the internal normal force, shear force, and moment at the cross section through point C for this loading. Support Reactions: Equations of Equilibrium: For point C Sample problems and notes are…
Physics often focuses on simplifying complex phenomena to better understand and predict the natural world. This art of idealization is a cornerstone of mechanics, where we frequently encounter the concept of a “particle” or “point mass.” Within this context, the moment of inertia plays a crucial role, particularly in rotational dynamics. In thermodynamic equilibrium, all…
Objective The object of the experiment is to determine the material of an unknown specimen based on the material young’s modulus(E). Young’s modulus is the ratio of the stress to strain in the plastic region of the stress-strain diagram. This mechanical property is material specific. The data which was gathered during this experiment is as…
