Introduction Conservative forces and non-Conservative forces are the classification in which the forces are divided in Physics. Forces for which the Work done is free of the path through which it is carried are supposed to be Conservative forces. The forces for which the work done is reliant on the path are said to be non-Conservative forces. For Conservative forces, the aggregate sum of mechanical energy always remains constant but for non-Conservative forces, the mechanical energy retained by the body decreases by some amount and is converted to other forms like heat, sound, etc. What is a Conservative Force? ...

Torque and force are two concepts that are often used in the field of mechanics. While both of these concepts deal with the movement of objects, they are different in terms of their nature, application, and effect. What is Torque? Torque is the measure of the rotational force that is applied to an object. It is a vector quantity that is defined as the product of force and the distance between the force and the axis of rotation. In simpler terms, it is the force that is used to twist or turn an object around an axis. Torque is commonly ... Read More

Force and Power are two important concepts in physics. They might appear similar at first sight, but they are completely different from each other. The most fundamental difference between force and power is that Force is a cause that can change or try to change the state of an object from rest to motion or motion to rest, whereas Power is the term used to express the rate of doing work. Read this article to learn how Force is different from Power. What is Force? Force is an external agent that can change the state of an object either from ... Read More

Introduction Torque refers to an equivalent to the rotational properties in the linear force of the machinery body. Power denotes the work done in a particular duration of time. The inner relation between power and torque in terms of machinery aspects is directly proportional. The power of the machinery particles that are continuously rotating this also denoted as a scholarly product of torque as well as angular velocity. In any kind of rotary motion, measuring the relation between the power and torque of the machinery body is derived from the comparison of the linear equivalent. Relation between Torque and Power ...

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 a spreading agent on the grease by connecting water to it, and when the water is disposed of, it brings all the dirt and other unwanted items with it. These behavioural changes are one of the consequences of the surface tension. Surface Tension An attractive ... Read More

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 of torsion constant is Newton per square meter (N/m2) or pounds per square inch (p/inc2). There the process of wrapping is called distortion occurring simultaneously with the occurrence of twisting in non-circular sections. The traverse becomes harsh while the process of wrapping. The equation of ... Read More

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. The main difference between these two factors is that torque is the measurement of turning force and moment is a measurement of perpendicular distance. Definition of Torque Figure 1: Torque Torque is nothing but the measurement of the force of ... Read More

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 cable or belt. The pulley system is known to be the oldest mechanism that continues to exist in modern times and is used in multiple applications What is meant by the Pulley system? Figure 1: A pulley system The pulley system utilizes a block ... Read More

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 transferred throughout the wire, rope or string. This force pulls an equal amount of energy that is equal on both ends of the objects. Tension force: definition Tension in general is associated with the force that has a certain kind of action and ... Read More

Introduction The force of tension can be either negative or positive and this phenomenon completely depends on the placement area of the coordinated axes. Regardless of the direction that is moving upward which can be taken as negative or positive, the balanced equation for tension force will give an equal result for both positive and negative equations. In physics tension is a kind of force that is generated due to the application of load at one or more than one end of an object in a directional way. This force that has been generated normally is denoted as the ... Read More
