Statics

Statics is the branch of mechanics that describes bodies which are acted upon by balanced forces and torques so that they remain at rest or in uniform motion. In statics, the bodies being studied are in equilibrium.

How is speed related to momentum?

Asked by Wiki User

Very, very basically, momentum is a combination of speed and mass of the object.

What is an antiparallel force?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When it is not parallel. Parallel is when it is two straight lines: like train tracks are antiparallel, when it is going of course: Like a trapezium.

As of 2013, the best way to get a persons SSS Employee Static Information is through the website of the government office. It is also stated that it is available in the PDF format at the government office website.

How does rolling reduce friction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It may help to imagine a pair of gears.

If the gears turn, then the teeth can intermesh. If, however, you fix one of the gears and attempt to move the other without turning it, or turn it without moving it, there's a problem: you're trying to push the teeth of one gear THROUGH the teeth of the other gear.

Essentially the same thing is going on with rolling friction vs. static friction. Most objects don't have "teeth" like gears, but their surfaces are not perfectly smooth either; on an atomic scale, even if they're as smooth as possible, there are still "bumps" because the atoms can't be cut in half.

Is it true that frictional force on a sliding body on a plane is always directed at the angle of friction to the normal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The frictional force on a sliding body on a plane will be acting parallel to the plane against the motion of the body. But the magnitude of the (kinetic) friction

force is proportional to the weight component normal to the plane. The weight

component parallel to the plane is the force that tends to slide the body down

the inclined plane.

When the sliding body has acquire steady velocity, the friction force is equal to

the body's sliding force.

What is the least dense material that can not be made to float using water's surface tension?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Density is not the only property to consider when thinking of

the phenomena of flotation over water using water's surface

tension.

Pure gold has a density of about 19 g/cm3, (water's density

is about 1.0 g/cm3), and you can make small thin flakes of it

to float if you previously played with them with your fingers

to provide an oily film around them. This will reduce its

wet-ability and reduce its contact angle.

Experiment trying to make a metal clip float in water. Just

squeeze the clip with your fingers to put a thin oily film around

it. Then hold the clip with your index finger under it and sink

your hand carefully in the water letting the clip be the last

one to touch flatly the water surface.

If you succeed, then try it on soapy water, using a little bit of

liquid dish soap.

Can you make it float again ?

What are the condition of tipping friction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When the limiting frictional force is greater than the static frictional force, the body will tip about the point before sliding.

What is a static load on a chair?

Asked by Wiki User

the static load of a chair is 3-4 in hieght and 4-4 in width thus this equals yo moma + my balls= a hole lot of stuff all over her face

What is the necessary condition for equilibrium of system of coplanar forces?

User Avatar

Asked by ManishRajRanjan

Coplanar or not, the two conditions for equilibrium are:

  • The sum of all forces must be zero
  • The sum of all torques must be zero.

Do more redheads fail math than students with other hair colors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There have been a lot of claims that this physical feature or that affects intellectual ability, and maths in particular. Some claim that race matters, gender, head size, body size, you name it.

Now, let's ignore things that really can matter, such things as undiagnosed and uncompensated problems with hearing, sight, health in general, and education and upbringing. All the things that can affect your learning and thinking. No one would be surprised if a blow on the head, or chronic lead poisoning messed up your maths or reading or anything else that needed brainwork, would they?

But a lot of studies that have looked at such things as skin colour and so on affect maths scores. The general effect has been that social factors have a greater effect than any of the others. For example, in communities where learning is seen as sissy or geeky, or where "sexy girls have no brains" and so on, children don't want to do well at maths. But apart from that there is too little effect to matter; perhaps none, for all we can tell.

Two of the smartest maths pupils I have known were a very pretty pair of blonde twins. Two other top scorers were red-headed sisters. Another one that springs to mind as being memorable was a brunette, and another had mousy hair. No baldies, I must admit, but you don't find many of them in high school anyway... And that is not even counting kids who dyed their hair!

You want to know who scored best in general? The ones who took pride in doing a good job, who were interested in life and in doing well, who had the guts to face up to a challenge.

They had hair of any colour you can think of, and every texture.

Can an inclined plane have a mechanical advantageof less than 1?

No. The slope would have to be shorter than the height.
