I understand that if we apply a force on the axis of rotation of a spinning disc, the torque is in a different direction, and the axis is moved in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the force upon the axis was applied, determined by the right-hand rule. But what if the force...

In a uniformly rotating coordinate system the trajectories of freely moving objects are influenced by an apparent centrifugal and Coriolis force. Is there a coordinate system or metric (or both) in which these trajectories are geodesics instead?

In a brief history of time it says theft 'according to the uncertainty principle rotating black holes should emit particles'. However I do not understand why rotating black holes need to emit particles according to the uncertainty principle. I do understand why black holes emit particles it...

If a disc-like object was rotating so that its outside edge was at about 0.86c (causing a factor of change of about 2) relative to an observer, then would it contract in length along the axis of rotation, or the circumference (relative to the observer)? in other words, would it get thinner or...

Dear all, We can rotate the local coordinates of the element so that the stress tensor becomes diagonal. The new coordinate system would be the principal stress axes of which are in fact the eignevectors of the stress tensor. Once we have the eigenvectors ( which are generally orthogonal)...

We have met the idea that a radius of a circle rotating ANTI-CLOCKWISE can be used to draw a sine wave... I get that... it is a great idea but...why does it have to be rotating anti-clockwise. That seems so un natural to me. We were told it is a convention. Does that mean it is something...

Hi I am wondering why a spinning cylinder will produce lift in an inviscid flow. From: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/cyl.html one of the mechanisms for lift generation was the sticking of fluid particles to the wall of the cylinder. I thought that the no slip condition only...

if KE=1/2mv^2 and you have a circular object rotating, with it's mass uniformly distributed through the object (ie each part of the disc weighs the same) then obviously certain parts of the disc will be moving faster than others. therefore closer to the middle of the disc, you have more KE...
