  2. Difference engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine

    This machine was composed of four modified Triumphator calculators. [31] [32] [33] Leslie Comrie in 1928 described how to use the Brunsviga-Dupla calculating machine as a difference engine of second-order (15-digit numbers). [28] He also noted in 1931 that National Accounting Machine Class 3000 could be used as a difference engine of sixth-order.

  3. Atwood machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atwood_machine

    The Atwood machine (or Atwood's machine) was invented in 1784 by the English mathematician George Atwood as a laboratory experiment to verify the mechanical laws of motion with constant acceleration. Atwood's machine is a common classroom demonstration used to illustrate principles of classical mechanics .

  4. Machin-like formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machin-like_formula

    The conclusion, based on this particular model, is that equation 6 is slightly faster than equation 5, regardless of the fact that equation 6 has more terms. This result is typical of the general trend. The dominant factor is the ratio between and . In order to achieve a high ratio, it is necessary to add additional terms.

    where is the armature current of the machine (SI unit: ampere). is primarily used to calculate the armature current for a given torque demand: = The SI units for the torque constant are newton meters per ampere (N·m/A).

  6. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The device trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the law of the lever. Machine components designed to manage forces and movement in this way are called mechanisms. [1] An ideal mechanism transmits power without adding to or subtracting from it.

  7. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17615°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60647° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21738°. Clearly, in ...

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]

    A consequence of Newton's second law of mechanics is the conservation of the angular momentum (or the “moment of momentum”) which is fundamental to all turbomachines. . Accordingly, the change of the angular momentum is equal to the sum of the external mome
