Answer 14

Any load on a structure that is not caused by gravity

Question 15

External Force

Answer 15

A force acting on an object or structure from the outside

Question 16

Internal Force

Answer 16

An internal force is a force acting between two parts of a body.

Answer 43

internal

Question 44

The strength of a force refers to it's _____

Answer 44

magnitude

Question 45

A twisting force produces_______

Answer 45

Torsion

Question 46

The actual weight of a structure refers to a_____load

Answer 46

dead

Question 47

What would happen to your mass and weight on the moon?

Answer 47

My mass should not change because you are not gaining or losing matter, but your weight should change because the earth has a smaller gravitational pull.

Question 48

Non-contact Vs. Contact forces

Answer 48

Non-contact forces are the wind or rushing water because we are not physically applying force, a contact force is physical contact being applied.

Question 49

forces acting on objects: example

Answer 49

when you sit on a stool, why are you not being pulled into the earth's center? You aren't being pulled towards the earth's center because your weight which forces down due to gravity, also has a force pushing upward which is the force coming from the stool. The magnitude of the downward force (gravity) equals to the upward force (you and the stool)
