    What Does Equation 5.7 in Introducing Einstein's Relativity Really Mean?

    Hello. I'm going through Ray D'Inverno's "Introducing Einstein's Relativity" and I'm stuck at a certain point and can't move forward. It deals with tensors, I'm stuck at the transformation matrix and the problem is, I can't figure out what the key equation (5.7) actually means. There is a...

    Static load Vs Push force on an actuator

    Hello all, I have an actuator to lift a table, with certain amount of wait on it. Since I have mounted the actuator in an angle, I had to analyze the load on the actuator. However, the velocity at which I am lifting the table is bare minimum compared to the load on the table. So I had the...

    How hard can you push something given grip strength?

    Hello, I was hoping you could solve an argument. We are wondering how hard you can push something. Let's say I have a piece of wood clamped down on a table and I want to push the piece of wood left or right. If the clamp is pushing down on the piece of wood at 100 pounds, I would need 100...

    Why is work negative when we push two opposite particles tog

    The below is what has me confused. It's essentially stating that if we apply a force on a positive charge and push it close to a negative charge, our applied work is negative. Why is this? I am confused about it because W = Fd and both F and d have the same direction. The potential energy U...

    How does a magnetic field "push" charges?

    I was under the assumption that a magnetic field acts similar to that of the normal force in mechanics; both affect the path of the object, but do no work. So now suppose that we have a rectangular circuit with the left side in an uniform magnetic field that is pointing towards the computer...
