  2. Tension (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    Tension is the pulling or stretching force transmitted axially along an object such as a string, rope, chain, rod, truss member, or other object, so as to stretch or pull apart the object. In terms of force, it is the opposite of compression. Tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of an object.

  3. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Nayar et al. correlated the data with the following equation = (+ +) where γ sw is the surface tension of seawater in mN/m, γ w is the surface tension of water in mN/m, S is the reference salinity [41] in g/kg, and t is temperature in degrees Celsius. The average absolute percentage deviation between measurements and the correlation was 0.19% ...

  4. Angular velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_velocity

    The angular velocity of the particle at P with respect to the origin O is determined by the perpendicular component of the velocity vector v.. In the simplest case of circular motion at radius , with position given by the angular displacement () from the x-axis, the orbital angular velocity is the rate of change of angle with respect to time: =.

  5. Capillary surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_surface

    The defining equation for a capillary surface is called the ... is the surface tension associated with the ... If the velocity is high, the contact angle will change ...

  6. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Angle ω dt is the very small angle between the two velocities and tends to zero as dt → 0. Figure 3: (Left) Ball in a circular motion – rope provides centripetal force to keep the ball in a circle (Right) Rope is cut and the ball continues in a straight line with the velocity at the time of cutting the rope, in accord with Newton's law of ...

  7. Capillary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_number

    where is the dynamic viscosity of the liquid, is a characteristic velocity and is the surface tension or interfacial tension between the two fluid phases. Being a dimensionless quantity, the capillary number's value does not depend on the system of units.

  8. Washburn's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washburn's_equation

    Washburn's equation is also used commonly to determine the contact angle of a liquid to a powder using a force tensiometer. [ 5 ] In the case of porous materials, many issues have been raised both about the physical meaning of the calculated pore radius r {\displaystyle r} [ 6 ] and the real possibility to use this equation for the calculation ...

  9. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    For amplitudes beyond the small angle approximation, one can compute the exact period by first inverting the equation for the angular velocity obtained from the energy method , = ⁡ ⁡ and then integrating over one complete cycle, = (), or twice the half-cycle = (), or four times the quarter-cycle = (), which leads to = ⁡ ⁡.
