Subtopics
- Classical mechanics [r]: The science of mechanics, which is concerned with the set of physical laws governing and mathematically describing the motions of bodies and aggregates of bodies geometrically distributed within a certain boundary under the action of a system of forces. [e]
- Force [r]: Vector quantity that tends to produce an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. [e]
- Mechanical engineering [r]: The branch of engineering concerned with the utilisation of the basic laws of mathematics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and system dynamics in order to create unique solutions to physical problems. [e]
- Civil engineering [r]: A broad field of engineering dealing with the design, construction, and maintenance of fixed structures, including roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, and water supply and sewage systems. [e]
- Acceleration [r]: The increase of an objects velocity (or speed) per unit time. [e]
- Acceleration due to gravity [r]: The acceleration of a ponderable object, which is near the surface of the Earth, due to the Earth's gravitational force. [e]
- Bar (unit) [r]: A unit of pressure measurement (symbol: bar) defined as 100,000 Pascals. [e]
- Dyne [r]: Force in cgs system; symbol: dyn; 1 dyn = 10−5 N. [e]
- International System of Units [r]: Metric unit system based on the metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela. [e]
- Isaac Newton [r]: (1642–1727) English physicist and mathematician, best known for his elucidation of the universal theory of gravitation and his development of calculus. [e]
- Joule [r]: The SI unit of energy (symbol: J) which is a measure of the capacity to do work or generate heat. [e]
- Kilogram [r]: The kilogram is the basic unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI, metric system). [e]
- Kilogram-force [r]: A unit of force which will accelerate 1 kilogram of mass to 9.80665 m/s2, the standard average acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (referred to as gn). [e]
- Metre (unit) [r]: Unit of length; one of the seven SI base units. [e]
- Pascal (unit) [r]: The SI unit of pressure; the force of one newton acting uniformly over an area of one square metre. [e]
- Pound (mass) [r]: A measurement unit of mass used in the United States customary, Imperial, and other systems of measurement. [e]
- Pound-force [r]: A measurement unit of force which will accelerate 1 pound of mass to 9.80665 m/s2 (≈ 32.17405 ft/s2), the standard average acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface (referred to as gn). [e]
- Pound per square inch [r]: A unit of pressure in the U.S. customary units and defined as the pressure exerted by a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. [e]
- Pressure [r]: A ratio equal to the force applied perpendicular to the surface of the area divided by that area (force/area). [e]
- Torr [r]: A non-SI unit of pressure (symbol: torr) with ratio of 760 to 1 atmosphere, selected to be approximately equal to the fluid pressure exerted by 1 millimeter of mercury (symbol: mmHg) and thus 1 torr ≈ 1 mmHg. [e]
- U.S. customary units [r]: The units of measurement that are currently used in the United States. [e]
