Let's delve into the process of drawing shear and moment diagrams for a beam, focusing on the specific example designated as 7-59. This involves understanding the forces and moments acting on the beam ...

A simply supported beam is a structural element supported at two points, typically at its ends. These supports allow the beam to rotate freely and only exert vertical reactions. When subjected to ...

Models that inform how magma moves and volcanic eruptions unfold may need an update, according to a new study. It reports that gas bubbles in magmas can form through the mechanical forces of shear as ...

(RNS) — In her recent book, 'Spellbound,' Molly Worthen posits that charismatic people tell a compelling story about human identity and purpose that others gravitate to because it helps explain their ...

Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic forces ...

President Trump on Monday called it “stupid” for him to turn down the gift of a luxury Boeing jet from Qatar, praising the offer from the Arab nation as a “great gesture.” Boeing has had a contract ...

Pakistani officials claim that the J-10C jets were able to interfere with the Rafale’s advanced radar and communication system, causing its downfall. As tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y.- Today, we continue our discussion about tornadoes—one of nature’s most intense storms. Fortunately, Western New York does not experience them often. On average, New York State sees ...

In this video we take a look at viscosity, a key property in fluid mechanics that describes how easily a fluid will flow. But there's more too it than that! We'll start by defining viscosity using ...
