How to make a system of forces in equilibrium just by changing the angles of forces?

By the changing the angles of forces, the system of the forces will be in equilibrium.


Why does the coefficient of friction have no unit?

The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the mechanical force causing a body to slide and the force (or component of a force) acting at right angles to the sliding surface. Both these quantities are measured in units of force such as Newtons. The ratio between two of the same thing is just a fraction such as half or a quarter. One force is a fraction of the other. The fraction is just a number and does not have dimensions. In the equation M = 12 newtons/24 newtons, the coefficient M, is 0.5. The newtons cancel out.


What is scalar force and vector force in the force?

To put it simply, scalar is essentially just a number of the force, such as 10 newtons whereas a vector is a force with a direction such as 10 newtons south. Answer2: Forces like many quantities in Physics are Quaternions. Quaternions consist oa a scalar number and three vector numbers. Quaternions can be viewed as Angles and Axis. Positive Scalar forces have angles of 360 degrees and negative scalar forces have 180 degrees rotation. Positive Vector forces have 90 degrees angle and negative vectors have -90 degrees or 270 degrees rotation Quaternions have both scalars and vectors so 10 n and 10 n south is F=[10, 10] and the angle is 45 degrees 10 2.5( cos(45) + Vsin(45) ) = 2.510ev45. Vectors are have odd multiples of 90 deegrees and can b e called Fermions; scalars have even multiples of 90 degrees and can be called Bosons. Quaternions are the sum of bosons and Fermions and can have angles other than 90 degree multiples. Quaternions are the generalization of Bosns and Fermions.


What do you call a FORCE twice as large as another force acting at right angles with it?

Acceleration with magnitude of (f1^2 + f2^2)^(1/2) @ 45degrees from either direction towards the other


What is the constant of proportionality between torque and angular acceleration?

The rotating object's moment of inertia. Similar to Newton's Second Law, commonly quoted as "force = mass x acceleration", there is an equivalent law for rotational movement: "torque = moment of inertia x angular acceleration". The moment of inertia depends on the rotating object's mass and its exact shape - you can even have a different moment of inertia for the same shape, if the axis of rotation is changed. If you use SI units, and radians for angles (and therefore radians/second2 for angular acceleration), no further constants of proportionality are required.

Is it possible for an object to have an acceleration when the speed of the object is constant?

Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.

Can an object be in equilibrium when three forces act on it and all at different angles?

yea


Will two or more forces acting at different angles be placed in the same quadrant or in the adjacent quadrant and still be in equilibrium?

if the two forces are acting in an opposit direction they can not be in equilibrum.but if they acting in thesame direction from different angles they can be in equilibrum.

What is the difference between tangential and radial acceleration?

Answer Both refer to an object that is in a cirular motion. Radial Acceleration is a velocity change of the object as it moves away from the center of rotation. Tangential Velocity is a change of velocity of the object as it moves in a line that is tangential to the circular path it is moving.


How do you find net force?

(a= acceleration; Fnet= Net Force; m=mass)Fnet=m*aNet force is the sum of all forces acting on each other and it's unit's are expressed in Newtons=NIf two forces are going excatly oposite each other the two forces would be subtracted to find the Net Force. If the two forces are acting in the same direction the sum of the two forces would equall the Net Force.


What will be the resultant of addition of five equal forces along the sides of pentagon?

If the forces are all normal (at right angles to) the sides the resultant is 0 (they all cancel each other out ).


What is an isoceles triangle?

An isosceles triangle is a shape that has at least 2 sides that are the same length. This forces the angles to be acute.


Are any rhombus with one right angles a square?

Yes. One right angle forces all the others to be right angles as well. And since the sides are all equal, you are left with a square.
