In this video, we explain the capstan equation and how friction affects a rope or string wrapped around a surface. You’ll learn where the equation comes from, what each term means, and how it’s ...

In this video, we break down the concept of the coefficient of friction in AP Physics 1, explaining how static and kinetic friction work and how they affect motion. Clear examples and reasoning help ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

I fell in love with cable driven mechanisms a few years ago and put together some of my first mechanical tentacles to celebrate. But only after playing with them did I start to understand the ...

Irregularities present on a surface are often described as surface roughness or texture. These surface textures such as grooves and dimples impart friction, which is the force between two sliding ...

As you wouldexpect, there are several areas within an engine where frictional losses are created, at the very minimum. Also consistent with conventional wisdom is the fact they are unavoidable and can ...

Tests for a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a non-Newtonian fluid. Sept. 15, 2003 Click on the pdf link below to view ...
