  2. Center of percussion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_percussion

    Effects of a blow on a hanging beam. CP is the Center of Percussion, and CM is the Center of Mass of the beam. Imagine a rigid beam suspended from a wire by a fixture that can slide freely along the wire at point P, as shown in the Figure. An impulsive blow is applied from the left.

  3. Bar grip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_grip

    The first deliberate uses of bar grip tyres as off-road tyres, were developed pre-war as truck tyres particularly for army use. They used crosswise tread bars for grip, arranged in a helical pattern. [4] A helical pattern was used to avoid the uneven rolling radius and vibration of a tread with simple crosswise bars and large gaps between.

  4. Strike and dip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_and_dip

    Strike and dip are generally written as 'strike/dip' or 'dip direction,dip', with the degree symbol typically omitted. The general alphabetical dip direction (N, SE, etc) can be added to reduce ambiguity. For a feature with a dip of 45° and a dip direction of 75°, the strike and dip can be written as 345/45 NE, 165/45 NE, or 075,45.

    Thin circular loop of radius r and mass m.. = = = This is a special case of a torus for a = 0 (see below), as well as of a thick-walled cylindrical tube with open ends, with r 1 = r 2 and h = 0 Thin, solid disk of radius r and mass m.

  6. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    The experimental determination of a body's center of mass makes use of gravity forces on the body and is based on the fact that the center of mass is the same as the center of gravity in the parallel gravity field near the earth's surface. The center of mass of a body with an axis of symmetry and constant density must lie on this axis.

  7. Center-of-momentum frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center-of-momentum_frame

    A special case of the center-of-momentum frame is the center-of-mass frame: an inertial frame in which the center of mass (which is a single point) remains at the origin. In all center-of-momentum frames, the center of mass is at rest , but it is not necessarily at the origin of the coordinate system.

  8. Radius of gyration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_gyration

    Mathematically the radius of gyration is the root mean square distance of the object's parts from either its center of mass or a given axis, depending on the relevant application. It is actually the perpendicular distance from point mass to the axis of rotation. One can represent a trajectory of a moving point as a body.

  9. Stevens grip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevens_grip

    Stevens grip is a technique for playing keyboard percussion instruments with four mallets developed by Leigh Howard Stevens.While marimba performance with two, four, and even six mallets had been done for more than a century, Stevens developed this grip based on the Musser grip, looking to expanded musical possibilities.
