    Moments Point
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking resources for calculating moments about a point with couples in statics. A participant suggests a specific document that effectively explains the use of vectors for solving couples in three dimensions, which can also be adapted for two dimensions. The shared link is intended to provide clarity on the topic. The request for assistance highlights a common need for clear instructional materials in engineering concepts. Accessing reliable resources is crucial for understanding these calculations effectively.

You mean in statics? This document seems to explain well the use of vectors to solve couples and a few other things in 3 dimensions (and can be generalized to two dimensions at once). (http://pioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/...atics ch2_present_4(3D moment and couple).pdf)
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
