Mechanics - forces of equilibrium Flashcards
1
Q
Supporting force equation
A
wdx = syD Wdy = sxD
2
Q
what is displacement
A
the total distance traveled
3
Q
what is vector and scalar
A
vector - magnitude and direction
scalar - magnitude no direction
4
Q
moment equation
A
Moment (Nm) = Force (N) X Distance (m)
5
Q
what does moment equal to
A
moment clockwise = moment anticlockwise
6
Q
Weight equation
A
Weight = Mass X Gravitational field
7
Q
what is a couple
A
a couple, (sometimes called a torque) is a pair of equal and opposite forces acting on a body but not along the same line
8
Q
torque equation
A
Torque = Force X Perpendicular Distance
9
Q
clockwise moment force equation
A
w1 d1 + w2 (d1 + d2)
