Force Definition and 1000 Threads

According to one explanation, the left hand acceleration terms of Navier Stokes equations are the called the inertial terms. If you were to balance forces on the fluid particle, they would have to be equal and opposite to the forces on the right hand side (pressure gradient, viscous, and body)...

Ff = Fc (mv^2)/r = kmg (v^2)/r = kg v^2 = kgr v^2 = 0.7*9.8*200 v = 37.04 m/s I chose option e, and its wrong. What am i doing wrong here?

I draw the graph like this: For (b), I divided each force vector to e from p1 and p2 as x and y parts. I computed them and got Fx=-4.608*10^(-15)N Fy=-2.52*10^(-15)N However, I am not sure whether I did it correctly or not... I appreciate every help from all of you! Thank you!

I want to understand the direction of force on the voice coil, if the conductor is straight line it is easy to find the force direction. In the case of the diagram i shown below, for the curved surfaces i should take tangential to the surface at every point. Am i correct? So for position 1 since...

Look on picture two for my equations, I’m pretty sure my first three equations are correct as it’s the same on the answer paper I got. Answer paper only shows the three equations and correct answer so I have no idea how they got to it. When I put the equations togheter And solve out ”h” i get...

Hello,I am building a press that will squeeze hot steel ,back off .5"push hot steel in further and repeat.The cylinder is 4" bore , 1.375"rod and travel is 8" (the majority of squeeze will be at 5"of extension)at a max of 2500PSI. my question is when putting @15 tons straight down what will the...

As I understand potential difference is the reason of current. Does it mean that the electrostatic force creates current?

i. Rearranging the equation for kinetic energy in terms of momentum; 1/2mv^2=(mv)^2/2m=p^2/2m Inputting the values given KE=1^2/2*4kg = 1/8 J Kinetic energy of a body with twice the momentum; KE=2^2/2*2kg =1 J The ratio of the kinetic energy of the first body to the second body is therefore...

I assumed that the vertical force at point B would be the same as the force between beam CB and E because of Newtons law. Did I assume wrong? Look below for my calculations and answer which I got to 250N. I don’t know the correct answer but assume someone here can tell me if I solved the problem...

Could anyone please help with the following? Three forces of magnitudes 10, 3 * sqrt(5) and 25 Newtons act along lines whose vector equations are respectively: r1 = i - 2j + k(4i + 3j) , r2 = -2i + 4j + k(2i - j) and r3 = 4i + k(7i - 24j) A fourth force F4 is introduced which reduces the...

Hi, I'm dealing with a more or less trivial question. Let's have a look on two situations. Consider a (negative) charged metal plate. If the plate is infinit in size it will produce a perfekt homogeneous electric field. If we now place a second plate parallel to the first one the electric...

i tried a force balance around the sphere but the weight of the displaced fluid is greater than the weight of the sphere which gives a net acceleration upwards and no terminal velocity but the book says that the terminal velocity has a certain value from there the exercise is meaningless to me...

Can anyone please tell me why time varying force F is not conservative? That is, what makes a force not depending on the position nonconservative?

I drew a force diagram, Normal force up, weight down, force of friction to the left, and Force applied 20 degrees above the positive x axis. I need clarification to find the force of Friction for part B. Should I set Force of friction equal to mu · normal force or should I use Newton's second...

Hi I'm having trouble to understand the centripetal force in a rotating rod with a mass in its end. When ##90°<\theta<270°##, the centripetal acceleration is produced by the tension, which counteracts the radial component of the weight. But what happens when ##\theta<90°## or ##\theta>270°##...

In this chapter, the stability of an object orbiting in a circular orbit of radius r_c in an arbitrary force field f is considered. The author arrives at the equation of a harmonic oscillator, for small deviations x from the circular orbit: \ddot{x} + \left[-3\frac{f(r_c)}{r_c} -...

This is the diagram I drew for my calculations: I wanted to see if my work for part (a) makes sense. If there is a variable ##l## that runs along the slant of total length ##L##, a ring around the cone can have an infinitesimal thickness ##dl##. By Coulomb's law, $$\vec{F}=\frac{1}{4\pi...

G'day. I have a problem with my statics work, i understand its probably quite simple but I am having trouble in my understanding. Essentially problems make more sense to me by using the component method, although in saying that i understand this problem would be quite a lot more simple were i to...

I understand that this difference is valid for E = 0 and E2 = σ / Ɛ0, but Purcell covers a more general case, and I don't see how this difference is fulfilled in other cases. I appreciate the help you can give me.

I'm not really sure where to start with this problem, but I wanted to ask a few questions about the approach I should use. Is it reasonable to say that a gradient could be set up that could describe the force on the fourth ion at any point? The way I'm thinking of this problem is, I want to...

I want to know how to calculate the braking force acting on a magnet falling through a copper tube. The setup can be seen in this video (YouTube, @ 1:49 - 3:12): Copper's Surprising Reaction to Strong Magnets. Note that it's not a copper tube in the video but a plastic tube surrounded by a...

we know ##W_g = -\Delta U## but here to find ##\Delta U## we will need another equation won't it be wrong to write $$-\Delta U = -\int_1^{0.8}mgdy$$ as this equation is derived from ##W_g = -\Delta U## and as we have 2 unknowns we will need two equations. this is a rather easy problem but I am...

Question 1: Since Force=Change in momentum = ∆P / ∆t = mv / t Momentum of the water coming out=mv mv=ρVv=ρAv Force d/dt (ρAv2t)=ρAv^2 Force = 1000*40*30ms^2 Force = 3.6*10^7 N Question 2: This is where I am confused because I understand in an elastic collision total kinetic energy and...

Is it correct to say that that τ=0 since r has the same directacion as F?? and for \vec{L} que need to find \vec{p} So I thought solving this dif equation ## \int dp/dt =−kq/r^2 +β^4/r^5## Do you agree in the path I am going?

So I am working on a project where I am attempting to accelerate an object upward Against Gravity but I am having trouble figuring out the math behind the force needed to do this here is what I have come up with so far,my apologies I am not very good with math I found this equation W=m(a+g)y...

$$\tau = I\alpha$$ $$FL/2 = I\omega^2L/2$$ $$T = 1/\theta \sqrt{F/I}$$ would this be correct? I came up with this more basic question to solve a slightly harder question so I do not know the answer to the above-stated problem.

Hello, I need to find the force between the two metal plates, one is charged positively, and another is charged negatively. I have to use surface integration, but then I get two surface integrations because of the two differently charged plates. Now I am confused. Please help me. Thank you in...

There ‘s an equation, I think it should like a “drag factor” because the -(b) now has a negative symbol, which means it should be affecting the particle going parallel of the x-axis to the right, I suppose F=ma need to be apply into this equation, but before this, I need to get it into a...

Let ##μ_k## = 0.5 ##F_a## = 10 Newtons ##\theta## is the angel of the Applied force. How will the acceleration of the block change if the angle of the applied force is increase by ##5^o##? Write Increase, Decrease or Stay the same. Recently we were discussing a question similar to this in...

When deriving the Maxwell Stress tensor, the Lorentz formula is converted from point particle: F=qE+qv x B Into current and charge density: F=ρ E + j x B However an argument can be made that we can't "fieldify" both q and E at one step, and thus, a "coercion" of the field to a value is...

HI τ= r ˆr x - ##k / r ^ 2## ˆr= 0 right? since ˆr x ˆr is zero What about L?

Surely a tough one, I am doing it from the basics. This is the diagram i tried to draw showing the Force and current I The Length L is the tangent to the circle. The Force F is pointing upwards at ##90 Deg## to the ##\vec B## and also perpendicular to ##\vec L##. I am considering a small...

hi guys, i can't understand why they calculate F yin this way, the part of floor that is the vertical proyection has less water than the floor in the left so i tought Fy would be less, please can someone explain this concept to me?

So my doubt is at the beginning of the problems hey are saying that the ball obeys stokes law and on the latter part of the question they are saying that no buoyant force is acting then how does the velocity of the ball change in the end? Also what is the use of specifying 'the ball never...

First i will use a equation resulted in considering a spring as a continuum limit of massive mass: ω = √(KL/ρ)*kn ρ is the linear density ρ ω = √(KL/ρ)*kn X = A*cos(kn*x)*cos(ω*t) ξ = A (first consequence) X = ξ*cos(kn*x)*cos(ω*t) ∂y/∂x need to be zero in x=L (for strain be zero) kn*L =...

Given a force of tension with a string attached to the front of the box, do we take the force as acting with an angle to the centre of the mass of phi or theta? Explain please?

My question is: given a rigid body which interacts with a surface, what's the direction of the normal force? Because, as the word says, it has to be normal to the surface. But when treating problems of a vertical rod which is slightly pushed and forms an angle ##\theta## with the surface, some...

So I already have a solution available to this problem and the link for the solution is: I have understood everything in the video except the part where they are equating the force dF=GM/r²*dm According to my reasoning the inner part of the sphere (the part below the dm element we have taken)...

There is a trampoline drawn here and a graph of the spring force vs height. I don't see why the spring force is decreasing at a decreasing rate with respect to height above trampoline. F= kx = k * h/sin(theta), letting theta be between the horizontal and the spring.

Hello, I am a creative scifi writer and i only have basic quantum physics knowledge, if someone could answer my question please. I was wondering some type of weapon that uses weak force, therefore it would promote distorcions at weaf force field causing interaction with atoms My question is, if...

When figuring out the capillary pressure on a liquid in a tube of a certain cross-section, the typical approach is to consider the Young-Laplace pressure and the curvature etc. I was looking through some of my old notes and I had an equation for the capillary force: fc = γ cosθ dS/dx where γ...
