...11. Thus we may very conveniently represent forces by straight lines. For we may draw a straight line from the point of application of the force in the direction of the force, and of a length proportional to the magnitude of the force. Thus, suppose a particle acted on by three...

...to better advantage. A force is represented by a straight line drawn from the point of application in the direction of the force and containing as many units of length as there are units in the force. FIG. 11. In Fig. 11 a beam projects beyond the edge of a table. The influence of direction...

...Longbottom. strain-energy of a structure with respect to any applied force was the displacement of the point of application of the force in the direction of the force. A similar statement held mutaiit mutandis with regard to couples. These statements assumed that there...

...(1) its point of application (2) its direction, and (3) its magnitude. Since a straight line can 1 drawn from the point of application of the force in the direction < action, and having a length proportional to the magnitude of the fora it is very often convenient...

...energy has been transferred and work done. Work done is the product of the force and the displacement of the point of application of the force in the direction of the force. Work done = force (F)x distance (s). Work done and energy consist only of magnitude and are scalar...

...energy of any structure with respect to any one of the applied forces is equal to the displacement of the point of application of the force in the direction of the force. To find the deflection of a point in a beam that is not the point of application of a concentrated...

...done by the electrical system, defined as the force acting multiplied by the distance travelled by the point of application of the force in the direction of the force (see Appendix 1 ), is equal to dW = qExdx. The energy stored in the electrical system must drop by...

...transmission or printing. work (W) (physics) The measurement of a force multiplied by the distance moved by the point of application of the force in the direction of the force. It is measured in joules. working (mathematics) Pertaining to something assumed or approximated, eg...

...13. The work done by a constant force F during any interval is F x, where x is the distance moved by the point of application of the force, in the direction of the force. The kinetic energy of a particle, W, at any instant, is JL* 9 2' where v = the path velocity of the...
