Q

1 tip for resolving several coplanar vectors?

A
  • Consider force from other direction may be minused on the bigger force (also u can just do the minus during the calculation)

I mean this more like mental note yano

Q

What steps to finding CoG using plum line?

5 steps

A
  1. Hang object freely from 1 corner
  2. Draw line from suspended plumbline you’ve hung as well
  3. Hang object from another corner
  4. Repeat step 2
  5. Where line meets = CoG
17
Q

The condition of CoG & CoM to coincide?

A

When there’s a uniform gravity present in the region

18
Q

What can cause vehicle to tip over?

A

When CoG passes point of pivot

19
Q

How to increase size of moment?

A
  • Increase force
  • Increase perpendicular distance between force and pivot
20
Q

Unit of moment?

A

Nm

21
Q

What principle of moments state?

A

When in rotational equilibrium, sum of clockwise moments must = sum of anti-clockwise moments

22
Q

What the 2 conditions for a system to be in equilibrium?

A

No net force
No net moment

23
Q

Define moment of a force?

A

The turning effect of a force applied to a rotational system at a distance from the axis of rotation

Q

Page 29 and onwards are all the questions, i advise u answer basically the homework again off by heart assuming that u did revise everything up until here. But ye take ur time, understand ur shit, technique type shit

A

okay
