Force Definition and 1000 Threads

I want to make a few of these if it will not cost a lot.

Can anyone tell me if my answer is wrong ?!

I was wondering how much force is required to pull the Cargo ship using a Kite as shown in below image and specifications given in table? This picture is taken from a seawing aka airseas website. I do not know the water / air / skin resistance values or coefficients for the cargo. All I know...

If F is applied at an angle above the horizontal, it decreases the normal force and vice versa. So in case A, net force along X = F applied cos theta - friction since the object is moving with constant velocity, a = 0 and so the above equation becomes F applied cos theta = friction Now along...

I have a zip-tie like structure, which when pulled, squeezes an elastic part. Think of it like a having a zip-tie around your finger. I can measure a force that is related to the squeezing pressure. This relationship between force and pressure is quite linear. I would now need to create a...

Homework Statement:: This is not a homework, but I want to know how to find the joint reaction force of the 2d elbow flexion, if I know the angular acceleration of the forearm, and the mass of elbow with a known weight on hand. I assume the forearm is a simple cylinder. Suppose the angular...

Dear all, Me and some colleagues (non-physicists) are discussing how force works when passing a cylinder (which we are holding) into a narrow tube. As we insert more of the cylinder into the tube, the force we are exerting is increasing. My theory is that the normal force is increasing and his...

I tried taking the components but got stuck there on what value of theta I should take

Figure: My attempt at a Solution: $$\overrightarrow{TFD}=TFD\dfrac{(-0,16\widehat{i}+0,11\widehat{j}-0,08\widehat{k})}{0,21}$$ View from above: We calculate ##D##: $$\sigma =90-\arctan \left( \dfrac{0,07}{0,240}\right)=73,74\, \textrm{º}$$ $$d=0,16\cdot \sin (\sigma)=0,1536\, \textrm{m}$$...

Figure: Attempt at a solution: $$b=12\, \textrm{m},\quad H=8\, \textrm{m}$$ a) $$F_H=p_{CG}A=3767040\, \textrm{N}=\boxed{3767,04\, \textrm{kN}}$$ $$A=8\cdot 12=96\, \textrm{m}^2$$ $$p_{CG}=\rho_g h_{cg}=39240\, \textrm{Pa}$$ b) $$F_V=mg=\rho_g V$$ We calculate ##\theta \rightarrow 8=10\cdot...

Since ##F = -b * v## I said ## F(x) = -b*v(x) ## Also x(0) = 0 and x(T) = ## \frac{1}{3}aT^3 ## I made the integral ## ΔE = -b* \int\limits_0^\frac{aT^3}{3} v(x) dx ## I wanted to replace v(x) with v(t) somehow I first tried ##v(x) = ax^2## but then realized that was wrong Then I tried using...

Figure: I have calculated the density of the cylinder: ##5479,0\, \textrm{kg}/\textrm{m}^3##. Attempt at a Solution: $$d=0,12,\,\, L=1,1,\,\, D=0,122,\,\, e=0,002,\,\, c=0,02,\,\, b=0,4,\,\, a=0,7$$ $$\omega =100\, \textrm{rpm}=10,472\, \textrm{rad}/\textrm{s}\quad e=0,122-0,12=0,002$$ We...

I solved that the hollowed out mass is M/8, which is correct. I don't understand why it is incorrect to substitute the remaining mass (7M/8) back into the F = G*m1m2/r to produce the force. Why is the solution the force of the whole lead sphere minus the force of the “hole” lead sphere, which is...

Figure: a) CASE A ##\rightarrow p_a=101300\, \textrm{Pa}## $$F_{\textrm{res}}?,\,\, y_c-y_{cg}=y_{cp}$$ We find ##h_{cg}\rightarrow h_{cg}=3+h## $$h=0,75\cdot \sin (30)=0,375\, \textrm{m}\rightarrow h_{cg}=3,375\, \textrm{m}$$ $$p_{cG}=\rho_{H2O}gh_{cg}=33108,75\, \textrm{Pa}$$ We calculate...

My approach to this problem is to recognize that the tetrahedron being still means that net torque is zero and net force is zero. Fd is given Fa + Fb + Fc = -Fd Fa X a + Fb X b + Fc X c = <0,0,0> This can be split up into a series of 6 equations, 2 for each component. However, this is where I...

Hi, in books about machine design fundamentals, one may easily find the formulas for forces acting on the teeth of paired spur gears. They require torque as input. For example, for the tangential force: $$F=\frac{2T}{d}$$ where: ##T## - torque applied to the driven gear, ##d## - pitch diameter...

It is argued that the correct interpretation of Newton's 2nd Law for one body of mass ##m## reads "The dynamics (i.e. vector sum of all external forces acting on the body = "all its interactions") dictates the kinetics (i.e. time derivative of the momentum vector = "motion")", under the...

The problem that I immediately ran into was how I would calculate N without knowing Fmax. I didn't think the y-component of N would simply be the same magnitude as mg. After being stuck for a good while I even tested if it was, by dividing the magnitude of mg with cosθ, which of course ended up...

From the equation for centripetal force, I can see that the centripetal force is proportional to v^2. Does this have something to do with why there is a normal force at the top? Does the velocity of the object require there to be a normal force? If so, why is that the case?

Unfortunately, this is not the right answer.

m=6.00Kg K=145N/m a=1.80m/s Fp=Fs ma=-kx (6)(1.8)=-(145)x x=-0.0745m I’m just wondering why I see some people make Fs=kx instead of -kx? isn’t the force of a spring a vector?

Hi, I'm building a rolling mill for flattening out bits of steel and I'm trying to make sure it's not going to break. I know that with a 1500w motor geared down to 60rpm (2pi rad/s) i end up with 239Nm of torque. 239Nm working at a radius of 0.0375m gives 6369N of force generated at the edge...

I realize that there is a downward force of gravity weighing the object toward earth’s surface, equaling F = mg (downward). The upward force would have to be something at least as much as the downward force in order to lift the object up ”such that it is accelerated from rest to a velocity of 5...

We define four force as one which satisfies : ##\mathbf{f}=m \mathbf{a}## where ##\mathbf{a}=\frac{d \mathbf{u}}{d \tau}##. The quantities in bold face are four vectors. Hartle pg 88 defines a three force as : ##\frac{d \vec{p}}{d t} \equiv \vec{F}## Where ##\vec{p}=\frac{m...

Hello, When we consider a block sitting on a surface, the gravitational force ##W## and the normal force ##F_N## are applied to the block. Both equal i magnitude and opposite in direction. We call the normal force the reaction force exerted by the surface on the block. Now we consider the...

Hello, Forces can be concentrated (when acting at a single point) or distributed (when acting over a surface or line). In the case of distributed forces, we can find the resultant concentrated force by calculating a surface or line integral of the force density ##f(x)## w.r.t. an area or length...

Dear readers, I have a question regarding permanent magnets and the force they generate on particles, which is far from my comfort zone. I have the option on using two types of permanent magnets and with two different setups. Imagine that we want to attract small particles using the magnets...

I was wondering if the electrical force, which is a radial force that depends on the inverse of the distance squared, also respect the Three Kepler Laws? If so, what will the constant for the third law be?

To put it simply: Why do we have the strong force? If the goal of the fundamental forces (in a heavily generalized sense) is to bring particles to a lower state of energy, how is the strong force participating to this? Could it be due to atoms being a very stable configuration? If this is the...

Can gravitational force have influence at objects at infinitely long distance? Is gravitational force in the form quantum packets?

Hello! I'm trying to understand how this pendulum works. I found this video that explains how to calculate the T force from the rope. He uses the preservation of kinetic and potential energy in order to find the magnitude of the velocity and then using Newton's second law, he calculates the T...

I understand the iron fillings become little magnets all pointing in the same north south direction similar to the spin aligned electrons in the permanent magnet. Similarly, a compass near a wire traces out the magnetic field lines ie North/South. My question is how do I reconcile the fact that...

Suppose you have an infinite plane of charge. If the surface charge density is uniform, would the tangential electric force always be zero, even if it is not a conductor nor static? My thought process for this is that if you look at each point charge and draw the electric field lines, then at...

I am searching online for resources regarding studies done on the effect of the Lorentz force due to short circuit faults in capacitors. Although a DC-link capacitor only sees the ripple, there would be high current during a fault. Since F=(qE + JxB), I am curious what the effects of the high...

I have been tasked with tilting a plastic 55 gallon drum that contains lube to an angle of about 20 degrees. I would like to use pneumatic cylinders as air is readily available here. The plastic barrel has a 23.5 inch diameter and is 35 inches tall. The barrel and contents weighs 450 pounds...

In the case motional emf, there is a static magnetic field and a rectulgular loop that goes into the field region, then current is produced. There is no electric field, but there is an emf. However, Griffiths states that emf is equal to the potential difference between the source endpoints. But...

I have seen a few posts on this subject before, but none have really answered my question. For clarity, I will refer to the 1st example as a wedge, and the second as a ramp (although both are of course inclined planes). With both examples that I outline below, we will assume no friction, and a...

1) If I generate a dispersive wave, will it have well-defined constant wave number and frequency? Ones that don't change in time? 2) does the velocity of any point on the wave stay constant in time? 3) How does force interact with waves? Does a free wave act in analogy with free particles...

I am trying to determine if a clamp holding a lever with a mass at one end can experience zero or reduced torque either by balancing the forces or converting the rotational torque into another form such as linear, I’ve looked at counterbalance with Steadicams etc. but I believe this just...

Hi I have been wondering what is the difference between resistance force and friction coefficient. While doing research online I could not find a clear answer. Maybe someone here will now:bow:

How did you find PF?: looking for simple formula to calculate force needed to raise steel tower. I am not on social media and have no idea how to use a forum. at almost 80, I find having to hand crank a ham radio tower up and down to be challenging. I must lay it down to work on the antennas...

I am trying to calculate the force required to lift/move the beam clockwise from the shown position. I have a force (F1) acting at the end of the beam, 5,000lbs pushing to the left, as shown. What is "Fcyl", or the force required by the cylinder to life the beam with the acting load, and rotate...

In order to make it as simple and non-controversial as possible, I propose a setup where inhomogeneity and change of reference frames play as little role as possible, i.e. in free space and with its center of mass comoving. I'll call that point the origin and set up my lab there. Rockets...

The following passage is from Halliday Resnick Krane in Chapter 3 which is about dynamics in one dimension. "We can measure frictional forces. By placing the body on a horizontal surface where it experiences a frictional force, we could attach a spring and pull the body with just the right...

From this post-gradient energy in classical field theory, one identifies the term ##E\equiv\frac{1}{2}\left(\partial_x\phi\right)^2## as the gradient energy which can be interpreted as elastic potential energy. Can one then say that $$F\equiv -\frac{\partial...

Imagine a plane 1 light minute across. Now imagine 1 person on either and of that plane. Between them, is a thin indestructible bar that is 1 light minute in length. In the center of this plane, a simple device has a wire that leads to a motion sensor on the left side of the bar. If the left...
