rate of change of displacement with respect to time
2
New cards
acceleration
a rate of increase of velocity with respect to time
3
New cards
conditions for equilibrium
the resultant force in any direction is 0 the resultant torque about any axis is 0
4
New cards
upthrust
due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom surfaces of the fluid, a body partially or fully submerged in said fluid will experience an upward force
5
New cards
Hooke's law
the extension of a body is proportional to the applied load/force, provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded [F = kx , lim of proportionality not exceeded]
6
New cards
moment of a force
(about a pivot) is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance of the line of action of the force from the pivot [M = Fd, d = //dist from line of action of force to pivot]
7
New cards
principle of moments
For an object to be in rotational equilibrium, sum of clockwise moments about any point must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments about said point [at any pt, ACM=CM]
8
New cards
linear momentum
(of a moving body) product of its mass and linear velocity
9
New cards
newton's 1st bby
every body continues in its state of rest, or motion with uniform velocity, unless acted on by a resultant force
10
New cards
newton's 2nd bby
rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the force acting on it, if said change takes place in the direction of the resultant force
11
New cards
newton's 3rd bby
if body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert a force on body A that is of the same kind, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
12
New cards
impulse
product of the force and the time during which the force acts
