“CONCURRENT FORCES IN A PLANE” is the name of the first chapter, which is appropriate. The other cases may be parallel forces in a plane; non-conconcurrent and non-parallel forces in a plane; all types of forces in space. These becomes the consequent chapters in the book. The advance is logical...
Hi everyone,
I just thought that it might be useful for everyone if we go through the concepts from the book of mechanics by Mr. Timoshenko. Its a great book. Some people from this forum advised me to refer this book for mechanics. I find it very useful. But I would like to write about the...
Hello everyone,
As an amatuer but curious student of physics I am asking this question. If a particle moves at a speed greater than the speed of light, then what happens (if at all anything happens) to the time dimension in consideration to that of the particle.
I think the basic reason for inclusion of 'i' is that such a root of -1 is not possible. Let's see how: 25 = 5*5; So square root of 25 is 5. Now take an example of -25. How will you find out the root of -25? we know, -25 = -5*5. So what is the square root of -25? It could have been -5 only if...
Hi people,
what is meant by sine, cosine, tangent angles, apart from their general definition of opp side/ hypo side; adj side/ hyp side and so on?
how are these sine, cosines and tangent angles invented by humans?
THANX gokul!
I was using Ferdinan L. Singers book. Just needed some other reference. The notes on the internet sites are superb. Also I have heard about the Timoshenko book. I will look for it. Thanx again for the help.
Hi everyone,
Can you please tell me some good reading material on solid/ applied mechanics available on the internet? i want downloadable links or may be good informative internet sites where i can get basics of solid mechanics and applied mechanics.
Hope someone helps.
Thanx.
