What is a torsion force?

The noun 'torsion' is a word for the action of twisting or the state of being twisted, especially of one end of an object relative to the other; a word for a thing.


What do electric charges that are different do?

They attract one another.


The bending of a light ray as it passes from one substance to another one with a different density?

Refraction


What is an example of tension?

If you pull on a string with both hands, one at either end, the string is in tension. If you pull directly along its axis on any object that is attached to ground you put it in tension. If you push it is in compression


Why torsion pendulum is called so?

A torsion pendulum is composed of a very thin flat strip of metal like phosphor bronze or steel with a metal bob connected to the lower end. The top is fixed to a stable beam and the bob is then rotated and released. This has slightly raised the bob and has stored some torsional energy in the metal strip. It is then free to return to it's resting position,it overshoots and when halted by torsion in the opposite direction reverses and so on until all the torsional energy applied in the initial turning is dissipated. Cars and motorcycles also use torsion bar suspension system where a steel bar is rigidly fixed at one end to the chassis and the wheel hub, at the end of a cranked arm, is pivoted at the opposite end of the torsion bar. The vibrational energy of the wheel arm moving up and down over bumps in the road is stored as a twisting energy in the torsion bar. This then restores as it untwists and acts like a longitudinal spring.

How would someone get out or reverse the Kimura submission hold of wwe wrestler brock lesnar?

A Kimura is a submission in which torsion is applies to an individuals elbow in an attempt to cause the opponent to quit. An escape of the Kimura Submission would entail rotating one's body with the torsion to alleviate tension on the elbow.

Antidepressant therapy only works on a small percentage of headache patients. Each patient is different, and what works on one will not necessarily work on another.


Where can one purchase a torsion spring?

A torsion spring is a spring that gains mechanical energy when it is twisted. It is a flexible elastic object and is commonly found on old fashioned traps. Mouse traps have torsion springs. Torsion springs are purchasable on Amazon and eBay. Buying a mouse trap and removing the spring is also a good idea.

What is tension force and compression force?

Tension forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (away from one another) to stretch the object. Compression forces are two forces acting on one object, moving in opposite directions (towards one another) to compress or deform the object.


What is the tendency of water molecules to stick to molecules of another substance?

The ability of water molecules to stick to one another is due to cohesion. Cohesion is what gives rise to properties such as surface tension.


How do you lower the rear of a Peugeot 206?

as the rear is torsion it is not straight forward. the torsion bars have to be removed one side at a time, with the torsion bar out simply adjust hub the required amount and replace torsion bar. then do the other side. this can be hard as the bars can be difficult to remove. best left to professional should cost between £60-£100
