  2. Shaft (golf) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(golf)

    The shaft of a golf club is the long, tapered tube which connects the golfer's hands to the club head.While hundreds of different designs exist, the primary purpose of the golf shaft remains the same: to provide the player with a way to generate centrifugal force in order to effectively strike the ball.

  4. Shaft (novel) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(novel)

    Author Ernest Tidyman was at the time trying to transition from the field of journalism to fiction, after his first novel, Flower Power, had little success. [3] Editor Alan Rinzler, who had worked with Claude Brown on the bestselling Manchild in the Promised Land, wanted a book to take the gritty realism of Manchild in the Promised Land and bring it into the mystery genre.

  5. Universal joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_joint

    The Cardan joint suffers from one major problem: even when the input drive shaft axle rotates at a constant speed, the output drive shaft axle rotates at a variable speed, thus causing vibration and wear. The variation in the speed of the driven shaft depends on the configuration of the joint, which is specified by three variables:

  6. Playfair's axiom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playfair's_axiom

    Antecedent of Playfair's axiom: a line and a point not on the line Consequent of Playfair's axiom: a second line, parallel to the first, passing through the point. In geometry, Playfair's axiom is an axiom that can be used instead of the fifth postulate of Euclid (the parallel postulate):

  7. Hilbert's axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_axioms

    Old axiom II.4 is renamed as Theorem 5 and moved. Old axiom II.5 (Pasch's Axiom) is renumbered as II.4. V.2, the Axiom of Line Completeness, replaced: Axiom of completeness. To a system of points, straight lines, and planes, it is impossible to add other elements in such a manner that the system thus generalized shall form a new geometry ...

  8. Dunkerley's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkerley's_Method

    When an element of mass is offset from the axis of rotation, centrifugal force will tend to pull the mass outward. The elastic properties of the shaft will act to restore the “straightness”. If the frequency of rotation is equal to one of the resonant frequencies of the shaft, whirling will occur. In order to save the machine from failure ...

  9. List of axioms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_axioms

    Together with the axiom of choice (see below), these are the de facto standard axioms for contemporary mathematics or set theory. They can be easily adapted to analogous theories, such as mereology. Axiom of extensionality; Axiom of empty set; Axiom of pairing; Axiom of union; Axiom of infinity; Axiom schema of replacement; Axiom of power set ...
