In physics, concepts like force, energy, and motion go hand-in-hand with one another. An unbalanced force will cause an object to accelerate. Equal and opposite force pairs will cause an object to remain at rest or maintain a constant velocity if it is already in motion. When an applied force causes an object or systemContinue reading “EQUILIBRIUM STATICS: Stationary and Moving Center of Mass Derivation”

STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems
A system that is acted upon by concurrent forces is in equilibrium when it remains motionless relative to an observer within the system’s frame of reference: In the diagram above, the system is a 200 N object that is suspended from a pulley. Since the system is not accelerating, we must search for forces thatContinue reading “STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems”
STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems
Q1: A 200 N force ( F ) is used to stabilize a system of pulleys within an industry’s weighing station. The system’s weighing receptacle is filled with a quantity of liquid that results in 150 N of force exerted in the vertical direction. If the pulley to the right is at a 20o angleContinue reading “STATIC EQUILIBRIUM: Concurrent Force Systems”
