Types of Quantities
Scalar and Vector
The type of physical quantities which have only magnitude.
Scalar Quantity
Examples of Scalar Quantities
Temperature, speed, distance, mass
The type of quantity that have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction.
Vector Quantity
Example of Vector Quantities
velocity, displacement, force, acceleration
What is the reference direction in N 30° E?
N
What is the reference direction in 30° N of E?
E
What is the direction of the frictional force to determine the minimum force to prevent slipping? (box on a ramp)
UPWARD
What is the direction of the frictional force to determine the maximum force that can be exerted without causing the block to slip?
DOWNWARD
Belt Friction Formula
W, T1/T2, P and T
T1 + T2 = W
T1/T2 = e^(µθ)
P = 2πfT
T = ΔF r
T - tension
µ - coefficient of friction
θ - angle of lap
f - wheel speed, Hz, rev/s, cps
r - wheel radius
ΔF - ΔTension
Moment
M = Fd
Number of component (force) in a support pin or hinge
2 (parallel and perpendicular)
Number of component (force) in a support roller or rocker
1 (perpendicular force)
Mass Moment of Inertia for Sphere
I = 2/5 (mr^2)
Mass Moment of Inertia for Cylinder
I = 1/2 (mr^2)
Mass Moment of Inertia for Thin Rod (centroidal axis)
I = 1/12 (mL^2)
Mass Moment of Inertia for Thin Rod (at one end)
I = 1/3 (mL^2)
Mass Moment of Inertia for Rectangular Plate
I = m/12 (l^2 + w^2)
Parallel Axis Theorem for Mass Moment of Inertia
Ix = Ix̄ + md^2
Area Moment of Inertia for Ix
Ix = (bh^3)/12
Area Moment of Inertia for Iy
Iy = (b^3h)/12
Radius of Gyration
r = √ (Ix / A)
or
r = √ (Iy / A)
