Force
Forces affect every moment of our life. Our bodies are held to the Earth by force, and they are held together by the forces of charged particles. When we open a door, walk down a street, lift a fork, or touch a baby's face, we are applying force. Our body's atoms are held together by electrical forces, and the core of an atom, called the nucleus, is held together by the strongest force known to us—nuclear force.

Force and Potential Energy in One Dimension
Force can be calculated from the expression for potential energy, which is a function of position. The component of a conservative force, in a particular direction, equals the negative of the derivative of the corresponding potential energy with respect to the displacement in that direction. For regions where potential energy changes rapidly with displacement, the work done and force is maximum. Also, when force is applied along the positive coordinate axis, the potential energy decreases with...
Force and Potential Energy in Three Dimensions
Consider a particle moving under the action of a conservative force that has components along each coordinate axis. Each component of force is a function of the coordinates. The potential energy function U is also a function of all three spatial coordinates. Force in one dimension can be written as the negative ratio of potential energy change to the displacement along that coordinate. For minimal displacement, the ratios become derivatives. If a function has many variables, the derivative only...
Moment of a Force: Scalar Formulation
The moment of a force, also known as torque, measures the ability of the force to create rotational motion in a body about an axis. It is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. This concept is used extensively in engineering, physics, and mechanics.
Consider a simple example of a flywheel being rotated about a point, O, by applying a force to it. In this case, the moment arm is the perpendicular distance between the point O and the line of action of the force. The...

Moment of a Force: Problem Solving
Understanding the scalar formulation of the moment of a force and applying it correctly through problem-solving is crucial in designing and analyzing mechanical systems. Here are the steps for problem-solving with the moment of a force:
Moment of a Force: Vector Formulation
The moment of force refers to the measure of the rotational tendency of a force. It occurs when a force is applied in such a way that it produces a twisting or rotational motion rather than linear motion. The moment arm of a force is the perpendicular distance from the line of action of the force to the axis of rotation. The moment of force is not a scalar but a vector quantity.
The vector formulation of the moment of force is the cross-product of the position and force vectors. The...
