Torque + Linear Velocity + Eccentric/Concentric Forces Flashcards
1
Q
What is an eccentric force?
A
Force applied away from centre of gravity of an object
2
Q
What type of motion do eccentric forces produce?
A
Linear and angular motion
3
Q
What is a concentric force?
A
Force applied through the centre of gravity of an object
4
Q
What type of motion is produced by concentric force?
A
Linear motion (Either curvilinear or rectilinear)
5
Q
What is Torque?
A
The turning effect caused by an eccentric force
6
Q
What is the formula for torque?
A
Torque = Force x Lever arm
7
Q
What is formula for linear motion
A
Linear motion = angular velocity x radius of rotation
Radius of rotation can relate to resistance arm in terms of levers
