Center of gravity
$\sum V$ = total force = 118 + 15 = 133
Distance of the total force to the rear wheel ($x$):
$\sum M$ about the rear wheel = 0
$x = 15*9/133 = 1.015 m$ - the center of the whole mass is located 1.015 …

Why this torque is not considered into the virtual work principle equation?
Work done is related to motion, which usually results in change of positions. In your picture the rotation of the arms produces positive work, if a counter C_b is added, it means partial work is negat …

Why do I get pushed back when I’m in a car at high speed?
It is the effect of the "inertia force", which always occurs during the event of "sudden acceleration, or deacceleration", and always in the reversed direction of the acceleration, or deacceleration.

Is kinetic energy on a body in vacuum = 0?
No. The equation you wrote represents the change in kinetic energy due to a change in the speed of motion. Energy is required to start the motion, in a vacuum, the body stores the terminal energy with …

Force and the reactions on the supports
The sketch below is not a response to the question, but to show the final positions of the components (all in red), which may be helpful in deriving the correct solution, if any. Note that it is assum …

Why is final momentum found by two formulae in case of increasing force not equal?
I see this problem differently.
The 10kg mass was moving at a constant speed at 10 m/s, so $V_0 = 10 m/s$. 2 seconds After a 30N force was applied, the force increased to 130N due to acceleration, thi …

Why is the acceleration of wedge and block equal like this
The figure below shall answer your question.
Moving from point B to C, the sliding force $F_S = mgsin\theta = ma$,
since no friction, $a = gsin\theta$,
and $\theta = Tan^{-1}(L_{BC}/L_{AC})$

Why do we write T cos theta = mg for this Q instead of mg cos theta = T
Isn't this a math problem that can be arranged as,
$T cos 45 = mg ---> \frac{T cos 45}{cos 45} = \frac{mg}{cos 45} ---> T = mg/cos 45$
There are two accelerations - centripetal (towards the center) …

Why is velocity of wheel = v0+wr?
The speed of rotation has two components - rotational speed (rotation/time) and linear (tangential) speed (distance/time). As shown on left in the sketches below, the rotation speed is constant about …

Why does the string having length C not have an impact on the overall system?
Constraint Method for Pulley Problems
Assumptions:
The string is taut and inextensible at each and every point of time.
The string is massless and hence the tension is uniform throughout.
Pulley is …

What should be the mass of block A so that the system stays at rest?
Revised (after @DKNguyen's comment)
The force diagram below contains both cases, which should result in the same conclusion for the mass of block A. (For both cases, the only effect left from the bloc …

How to solve this Question regarding compound accelerations
This is a simple static problem, with the assumption that all contact surfaces are frictionless. In the static position (no motion), the cable has a tension equal to 2g. Then, in order to move the 2kg …

Would a car slip down on a frictionless banked road and situation for friction road
No friction
Two outcomes after the initial push: a) run out on the curve, and b) slide down the slope.
With friction
The outward centrifugal force is overcome by the inward friction force $\mu N o …

Effect of centripetal acceleration on angular acceleration
$a_t = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d(r∗ω)}{dt} = r* α$. Here, $v$ is a vector.
$a_c = r*ω^2 = \frac{v^2}{r}$. Here $v$ is a scaler.
In your numerical example, both changes in velocity and time are given, so …

How to calculate the pressure applied in a compressible fluid?
You need to find the compressibility factor, which is defined as $Z = \dfrac{pV}{nRT}$ of the hydrogen, then correlate to the "ideal gas", which has a compressibility factor of 1.
