Centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "to seek"[1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body‚ toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Centripetal force is generally the cause of circular motion. In simple terms‚ centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre

............................... 7 AIM To show that three forces acting upon a body‚ in equilibrium‚ may be represented by a triangle of forces. (Vector addition) INTRODUCTION With this experiment we will show that a body in a state of equilibrium‚ with three forces acting in a singular plane. The following conditions must be met: * Moment of all three forces must pass through the same point. * Magnitudes of the forces can be represented by the sides of a triangle‚ each as a vector

basketball has some type of force working upon it. For example‚ without friction a basketball player would be unable to stop because inertia states that objects in motion tend to stay in motion. Without friction acting upon the player‚ there is no force to stop him‚ until he hits a wall that is. With this information you can come to the conclusion that without forces‚ there would be no game of basketball. However‚ what exactly is a force? Webster’s dictionary defines force as a push or pull that can

work on the principles of gravity and air resistance and in effect‚ terminal velocity. Air resistance (air friction) Air resistance is an upward force exerted on a body while it is in the air and is the result of air molecules that come in contact with the surface of the falling object. This force attempts to counteract gravity and other downwards forces influencing a body. The amount of air resistance encountered by an object is dependent on two factors: speed of the object and surface area. Air

The Five Competitive Forces Model In this section‚ the structure of our company will be explained using the five competitive forces model developed by Harvard professor Michael Porter. These forces include: rivalry among existing firms‚ threat of new entrants‚ bargaining power of buyers‚ threat of substitutes and bargaining power of suppliers. Each of these forces will have their own distinctive effect on determining industry profitability. Intensity of rivalry among competitors: Recently there

systems all forces and torques sum to zero. In problems where the first and second conditions of equilibrium are satisfied‚ the best strategy is to create FBD’s for both the first and second conditions‚ derive equations based on these FBD’s and then see what useful information may be gleaned from these equations. When applying the second condition we are free to choose any axis about which to compute torques. It is best to choose an axis that eliminates one or more forces that have lines of force that pass
