Sliding Friction
Introduction “Sliding friction” is an omnipresent force, in real-time daily operations. It is present in almost every form of human life and influences the motion of an object, especially when it is sliding on a surface or a floor. “Friction” is mostly generated when the floor or the surface is not perfect or smooth for…

Rolling Friction and Rolling Resistance
Introduction Rolling friction and rolling resistance refer to the force that helps to resist the rolling motion of the machinery body of the surface. For example, it is commonly seen that pulling a heavy almirah on a rough surface is so tough but if an iron wheel is used then the pulling, the process becomes…

Conservative Force
Introduction What will be the potential energy stored in an object of mass ‘m’ lying on the surface of earth and then raised to a height ‘h’ in a direction perpendicular to the surface (as shown in figure 1) of earth? Your answer will be – Potential energy = (m.g.h). The reason behind the expression of…

Simple Machines
Introduction A simple machine can be defined as the most easily accessible device that is used for the work against the single land force. The simple machines are used as one of the great mediums to do all the work in a simple form (Özkan & Eryılmaz, 2018). For instance, levers, wheels, and pulleys are…

Tension Force
Introduction This is the kind of force that is transmissible from various stretchable products like ropes, wires or string. As opined by Kim, et al. (2021), this aspect of tension force is displayed when these products are stretched by the forces that are acting on the opposite ends. The tension force that is developed is…

Pulley System
Introduction A pulley is a simple system that utilizes a wheel that is built on a particular axle. This system contains a central shaft that is made aiming to assist the rotting wheel or the gear present in the system, this setup is designed in such a manner that helps in the movement of the…

Parallel Perpendicular Axes Theorem
Introduction The moment of inertia (MOI) of a body is determined by parallel axis theorem that is parallel to mass of object’s axial line and it also passes through the centre of gravitational force. The PAT suggests that the summation of moment of inertia of a body and product of the mass of a body…

Derivation of Torsion Equation
Introduction In the field of solid mechanics, it can be found that twisting a material by applying a torque on it is denoted as a torsion equation or torsion constant. In various ways, torsion can be expressed. Those possible ways are pascals (Pa), Newton-meters (Nm), or even in foot pound-force (ft. lbf). The SI unit…

Cells Electromotive Force and Internal Resistance
Introduction To have a deep understanding of the working of electric batteries, you need to have a basic knowledge of the properties of the materials that go into it, i.e., cells and electrolytes. Energy conversion and storage devices are the most powerful and vital of all devices used in electrical engineering and electronics applications. Although…

Types of Forces
Introduction Force mainly defines the pulling or pushing of an object and force is the most important part of the movement of objects. It can also be called the quantitative interaction between two physical bodies. The two bodies here are the environment and the object. Different types of forces can be seen in this part…
