Introduction Force mainly defines the pulling or pushing of an object and force is the most important part of the movement of objects. It can also be called the quantitative interaction between two physical bodies. The two bodies here are the environment and the object. Different types of forces can be seen in this part and among them Contact forces and Non-Contact forces are the most important. In this part Non-Contact forces is classified into three parts- Nuclear Force, Gravitational Force, and Electromagnetic Force. The Contact forces also have many variations like- Tension Force, Air Resistance Force, Frictional ... Read More

Introduction A simple machine can be defined as the most easily accessible device that is used for the work against the single land force. The simple machines are used as one of the great mediums to do all the work in a simple form (Özkan & Eryılmaz, 2018). For instance, levers, wheels, and pulleys are used in the mechanism of bicycles. Over time the modern implementation of innovative machines has increased in a significant way. Simple machines are regarded as elementary building blocks. The characteristic of the ideal Simple machines Simple machine should not dissipate the energy throughout ... Read More

Introduction To have a deep understanding of the working of electric batteries, you need to have a basic knowledge of the properties of the materials that go into it, i.e., cells and electrolytes. Energy conversion and storage devices are the most powerful and vital of all devices used in electrical engineering and electronics applications. Although their uses can vary greatly, they typically convert one form of energy into another or store energy that can be retrieved later to perform work. What are Cells? Images Coming soon All of us have either used or have come across cells on a day-to-day ... Read More

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 force is and how it works. What is Central Force? A central force is a force that emanates from a single source and acts on all particles in a system. This force acts as an attractor on other objects that are nearby, like gravity and ... Read More

Introduction What will be the potential energy stored in an object of mass ‘m’ lying on the surface of earth and then raised to a height ‘h’ in a direction perpendicular to the surface (as shown in figure 1) of earth? Your answer will be - Potential energy = (m.g.h). The reason behind the expression of the potential energy stored in the object - that we have assumed that the potential energy at the surface of earth is zero (assumed as datum) and the work done to bring that object from the surface to a height ‘h’ against the gravitational ...

Introduction The moment of inertia (MOI) of a body is determined by parallel axis theorem that is parallel to mass of object’s axial line and it also passes through the centre of gravitational force. The PAT suggests that the summation of moment of inertia of a body and product of the mass of a body and square of the axis distances defines the PAT. It helps in finding MOI of objects like rod, discs and a lot more. In this tutorial, the parallel axis theorem will be discussed further. History of Parallel Axis theorem The ... Read More

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 the body were to be concentrated at that point. The radius of the gyration is useful in various subjects throughout the daily course of life, especially in the field of engineering. In real life, this is used to study the rigidity of ... Read More
