FORCES AND TORQUES IN EQUILIBRIUM
FORCES AND TORQUES IN EQUILIBRIUM

... All external torques on the object balance (so the net torque is zero]. Description of Apparatus In this experiment an object is suspended at rest with up to five forces acting on it; the object remains at rest. The magnitudes and directions of the forces are measured, and calculations are done to v ...

The only theory available to cover this case was Einstein’s theory of special relativity. Consequently a stud ...

... A body is said to be in equilibrium if it is at rest or moving with uniform velocity. In other words if the linear and angular acceleration of a body are zero, the body is said to be in equilibrium. Or we can say that when two or more forces act on a body such that their resultant or combining effec ...

Weightlessness



Weightlessness, or an absence of 'weight', is an absence of stress and strain resulting from externally applied mechanical contact-forces, typically normal forces from floors, seats, beds, scales, and the like. Counterintuitively, a uniform gravitational field does not by itself cause stress or strain, and a body in free fall in such an environment experiences no g-force acceleration and feels weightless. This is also termed ""zero-g"" where the term is more correctly understood as meaning ""zero g-force.""When bodies are acted upon by non-gravitational forces, as in a centrifuge, a rotating space station, or within a space ship with rockets firing, a sensation of weight is produced, as the contact forces from the moving structure act to overcome the body's inertia. In such cases, a sensation of weight, in the sense of a state of stress can occur, even if the gravitational field was zero. In such cases, g-forces are felt, and bodies are not weightless.When the gravitational field is non-uniform, a body in free fall suffers tidal effects and is not stress-free. Near a black hole, such tidal effects can be very strong. In the case of the Earth, the effects are minor, especially on objects of relatively small dimension (such as the human body or a spacecraft) and the overall sensation of weightlessness in these cases is preserved. This condition is known as microgravity and it prevails in orbiting spacecraft.
