Weight
Weight=Mass x Gravity
Fres (B-S)
Fres=Forwards-Backwards
Fres
Fres=Mass x Acceleration
When there’s no air resistance all objects fall at the same rate of…
10m/s2
Spring
Force (F) =spring constant (k) x extension (e)
Extension
E=Extended length-Natural length
Pressure
P=F divided by A Pressure=Force divided by Area
How can you improve stability?
Widen the base and lower the centre of gravity.
FAPso
Force, Area, Pressure so… Force applied over large area=low pressure. Small area=high pressure.
Moments
Moments=Force x Perpendicular distance between force and pivot.
Principle of moments
ACWM=CWM F1xD1=F2xD2
