Last time we saw how the presence of friction reduces mechanical advantage in an engineering scenario utilizing…

We left off Previously with an engineering analysis of energy factors within a compound pulley scenario, in our case a Grecian…

In our series on pulleys we’ve been discussing the effects of friction, subjects also studied…

Last Topic we discussed Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis’ formula to compute kinetic energy.  here we’ll use it to…

A case in point is Gaspard Gustave de Coriolis‘ formula to compute work, as set out in…

In Part I of Mechanical Engineering, Focus On Dynamics, we talked about kinematics.  in This Part II, we’ll talk…

Last time we used de Coriolis’ formula to compute work to calculate the amount of work performed…

The Work-Energy Theorem states that the work required to slow or stop a moving object is equal…

Previously we saw how Santa and his reindeer team encountered a wind gust which generated enough force…

In my work as an Engineer I’ve never had to convert Joules of work-energy into calories, but…
