When a particle moves along a straight path, there will be centripetal acceleration as well as tangential acceleration.
Rotational kinematics — tangential (linear) acceleration: A body is rotating along a circular path of radius r with an angular acceleration α (in rad/s^2). What is the expression for its tangential (linear) acceleration a along the path?
Plane pin-jointed frames — condition for imperfection: A framed structure (simple, plane, pin-jointed) is considered imperfect if the number of members m is __________ (2j − 3), where j is the number of joints.
Connected masses — effect of friction on string tension: A 20 kg block on a rough horizontal plane is connected by a light string over a smooth pulley to a 5 kg hanging mass (free to move vertically). As the coefficient of friction between the block and plane increases, how does the string tension change?
Work and power — basic definition: In mechanics, the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred per unit time is called:
Centroid of a right circular solid cone: For a solid cone of height h, measured along the central vertical axis from its base (the circular face), the centre of gravity (centroid) lies at what distance from the base?
Equilibrium of three coplanar forces — Lami’s theorem check: If three coplanar forces acting at a point keep a body in equilibrium, then each force is proportional to the sine of the angle between the other two forces. Is this statement correct?
Units — work in the SI system: Select the correct SI unit of work (and energy) used in physics and engineering.
Definition check — value of one joule: One joule is numerically equal to which of the following?
Vibration of a mass–spring system (vertical helical spring): One end of a helical spring is fixed and the other end carries a load W. The load executes simple harmonic motion vertically. If the static deflection under W is δ, what is the frequency f of oscillation?
