  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. [1] Archimedes' principle is a law of physics fundamental to fluid mechanics .

  3. Interactive skeleton-driven simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactive_skeleton...

    There are several components to such a simulation system: a polygon mesh defining the body shape of the model; a coarse volumetric mesh using finite element methods to ensure complete integration over the model; line constraints corresponding to internal skeleton and instrumented to the model; linearizing of equations of motion to achieve ...

  4. Deformation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(physics)

    In physics and continuum mechanics, deformation is the change in the shape or size of an object. It has dimension of length with SI unit of metre (m). It is quantified as the residual displacement of particles in a non-rigid body, from an initial configuration to a final configuration, excluding the body's average translation and rotation (its rigid transformation). [1]

  5. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  6. Three-body problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem

    From the end of the 19th century to early 20th century, the approach to solve the three-body problem with the usage of short-range attractive two-body forces was developed by scientists, which offered P. F. Bedaque, H.-W. Hammer and U. van Kolck an idea to renormalize the short-range three-body problem, providing scientists a rare example of a ...

  7. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(mathematics)

    The algebraic curve defined by {(,): =} in the (,) coordinate system has a singularity (called a cusp) at (,). For singularities in algebraic geometry , see singular point of an algebraic variety . For singularities in differential geometry , see singularity theory .

    Chilling footage has captured the last known movements of a 24-year-old woman before her body was found at the bottom of a trash chute in a luxury apartment building in Manhattan.

  9. Euler angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_angles

    The Euler angles are three angles introduced by Leonhard Euler to describe the orientation of a rigid body with respect to a fixed coordinate system. [1]They can also represent the orientation of a mobile frame of reference in physics or the orientation of a general basis in three dimensional linear algebra.
