Introduction The radius of gyration of an object about the axis of its rotation is generally defined as the radial distance. This distance is associated with a point which would have a moment of inertia. This moment of inertia would be equal to the actual mass distribution of the particular body, in case the total mass of…

Introduction The terms torque and moment have different meaning and both of them differs from each other. It is seen that torque is a form and it is multiplies by distance. Moment refers to the force multiplies by any distance from the body. It is seen that moment turns due to the force of rotation.…

Introduction The cohesive forces are the reason which does not allow the glass pane to stick. Surfactants in the detergents are reliable to reduce water’s surface tension. Water is used for cleaning different items regularly with a mixture of detergents as only water cannot clean something as desired. Surfactants are acting in the water as…

Introduction Central Force, in physics, refers to a force that acts on every particle of the system, with the same magnitude and direction. Central forces are encountered often in physics, particularly when studying celestial mechanics and electromagnetism, where they appear as gravity and Coulomb’s law, respectively. In this tutorial, we will discuss what a central…
