Classical Mechanics
Simple Harmonic Motion
Repetitive periodic motion where restoring force is directly proportional to displacement and acts toward the equilibrium position.
Classical MechanicsSimple Machine
A basic mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of an applied force.
Classical MechanicsStatic Equilibrium
The state of a rigid body where both net external force and net external torque are zero, keeping the body completely at rest.
Classical MechanicsStokes' Law
A mathematical law expressing viscous drag force experienced by small spherical particles moving at low speeds through a viscous fluid.
