The moment diagram may be constructed in a, similar manner; one must remember that the bending moment at any section of a beam is the algebraic sum of the moments of all the external forces on either ...

In the diagram, the teeth of both gears move upwards. This means that the gears rotate in opposite directions. The forces acting on the teeth are identical for both gears, but their moments are ...

It is important to remember that the distance (d) is the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force (see diagram). A force of 15 N is applied to a door handle, 12 cm ...
