On an inclined plane, the weight of the object can be resolved into components that act perpendicular and parallel to the surface of the plane. When a rope supports the weight of an object at rest, the tension in the rope is equal to the weight of the object. The force developed in a spring obeys Hooke’s law.

In pumping problems, the force required to lift the water to the top of the tank is the force required to overcome gravity, so it is equal to the weight of the water.

FN is perpendicular to the slope and Ff is parallel to the slope, but Fg has components along both axes, namely, w y and w x . Here, Fg has a squiggly line to show that …

(36) is only valid for small increments of pressure, ΔP : ΔVV=ΔPK. Moreover, the compression of gases also depends on thermodynamic conditions. (In contrast, for most condensed media, the temperature effects are very small.) For example, at ambient conditions most gases are reasonably well d…

Even very small forces are known to cause some deformation. For small deformations, two important characteristics are observed. First, the object returns to its original shape when the force is removed—that is, the deformation is elastic for small deformations. Second, the size of the deformation is proportional to the force—that is, for small deformations, Hooke’s law is obeyed.

An oscillation may create a wave, which is a disturbance that propagates from where it was created. The simplest type of oscillations and waves are related to systems that can be described by Hooke’s law.

Find the compressive stress at the cross-section located 3.0 m below the top of the pillar and the value of the compressive strain of the top 3.0-m segment of the pillar. Unlike in the previous example, however, if the weight of the rod is taken into consideration, the stress in the rod is largest at the top and smallest at the bottom of the rod where the equipment is attached.
