Forces Glossary

In a state of equilibrium. 

Forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, producing zero net force.

The angle between the banked surface and the horizontal.

A curved surface tilted so that its outside edge is higher than its inside edge.

Tilting a road, track, or vehicle so that a support or lift force contributes to the inward resultant.

The maximum tension a rope or cable can withstand before failing.

The magnitude of this force can be calculated using Archimedes' principle, which states that the force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Mathematically, it can be expressed as F = ρVg, where F is the force, ρ is the density of the fluid, V is the volume of the fluid displaced, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

the ability of an object to float or rise in the cosmic sea of fluids!
