QUIZ 2/6 (Statics) Flashcards

1
Q

Newtons laws of Motion

A
  1. A body remains at rest or in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted on by a force. (Inertia)
  2. The force on a body is directly proportional to the bodies mass and acceleration (F = m • a); and
  3. For every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction (conservation of momentum) (think of a jar sitting on a table, the downward force from the object is equal to the force resisting the jar

Q

Why are trusses so practical in construction?

A

• Axial forces in webs (I.e tension or compression ONLY)
• connectors typically steel
• very cost effective
• efficient use of structural materials

17
Q

A force is…

A

A PUSH or a PULL

18
Q

A force has… (three components)

A
  1. Sense
  2. Magnitude
  3. Direction
19
Q

A stress is…

A

The INTENSITY of the force EXPERIENCED by the material. The greater the area resisting the force the lesser the stress

20
