  2. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.

  3. Coefficients of potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficients_of_potential

    where the c ij with i = j are called the coefficients of capacity and the c ij with i ≠ j are called the coefficients of electrostatic induction. [1] For a system of two spherical conductors held at the same potential, [2] = (+), = (+)

  4. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    The capstan equation [1] or belt friction equation, also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula [2] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein), [3] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder (a bollard, a winch or a capstan).

  5. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    A paper by Steven Laux [27] presents a review of numerical techniques for capacitance calculation. In particular, capacitance can be calculated by a Fourier transform of a transient current in response to a step-like voltage excitation: C ( ω ) = 1 Δ V ∫ 0 ∞ [ i ( t ) − i ( ∞ ) ] cos ⁡ ( ω t ) d t . {\displaystyle C(\omega )={\frac ...

  6. Lift coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_coefficient

    They show an almost linear increase in lift coefficient with increasing angle of attack with a gradient known as the lift slope. For a thin airfoil of any shape the lift slope is π 2 /90 ≃ 0.11 per degree. At higher angles a maximum point is reached, after which the lift coefficient reduces.

  7. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    The 1902 Wright Glider shows its lift by pulling up. When a fluid flows around an object, the fluid exerts a force on the object. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction. [1]

    Continuous charge distribution. The volume charge density ρ is the amount of charge per unit volume (cube), surface charge density σ is amount per unit surface area (circle) with outward unit normal n̂, d is the dipole moment between two point charges, the volume density of these is the polarization density P.

  9. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...
