Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis01:37

Hypothalamic-Pituitary Axis

66.4K
The response to stress—be it physical or psychological, acute or chronic—involves activation of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. The HPA axis is part of the neuroendocrine system because it involves both neuronal and hormonal communication. Its function is to regulate homeostatic systems—metabolic, cardiovascular, and immune—providing the necessary means to respond to a stressor.

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem01:16

Perpendicular-Axis Theorem

4.6K
The perpendicular-axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a planar object about an axis perpendicular to its plane is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular concurrent axes lying in the plane of the body.
Consider a circular disc of mass M and radius R lying along an x-y plane. The origin lies at the center of the disc, and the z-axis is perpendicular to the disc's plane. All three axes coincide at the disc's center. The moment of inertia of this...

Parallel-axis Theorem01:06

Parallel-axis Theorem

8.3K
The parallel-axis theorem provides a convenient and quick method of finding the moment of inertia of an object about an axis parallel to the axis passing through its center of mass. Consider a thin rod as an example. There is a striking similarity between the process of finding the moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis through its middle, where the center of mass lies, and about an axis through its end using the conventional method. In the conventional method, the concept of linear mass...

Moment of a Force About an Axis: Scalar01:28

Moment of a Force About an Axis: Scalar

714
The moment of a force about an axis is a crucial concept in mechanics that helps determine an object's rotational motion around a specific point or axis. The moment of force can be calculated using scalar analysis, which involves considering the perpendicular distance between the axis of rotation and the line of action of the force or simply the moment arm.
To better understand the concept of moment of force, consider the example of a cyclist riding a bicycle. When the cyclist applies force on...

Moment of a Force About an Axis: Vector01:29

Moment of a Force About an Axis: Vector

924
When a force is exerted on an object, it can cause that object to rotate about an axis. The moment of a force, also known as torque, measures the force's ability to cause that rotation. In the case of a cyclist pedaling a bicycle, the force exerted on the pedal causes the crankshaft to rotate, which in turn causes the wheel to spin. The moment of the force exerted on the pedal drives the wheel's rotation.
First, establish a coordinate system to understand how the moment of a force...

Moment of Inertia about an Arbitrary Axis01:20

Moment of Inertia about an Arbitrary Axis

650
The moment of inertia is typically associated with principal axes, but it can also be computed for any random axis. When an arbitrary axis is under consideration, the moment of inertia is determined by integrating the mass distribution of the object along that specific axis. It is crucial in applications like the design of machinery, where components rotate about various axes, and balance and stability are essential.
In this scenario, the perpendicular distance between the chosen arbitrary axis...
