Document Summary

2nd section study guides kin 151. Center of gravity: the point around which a bodys weight is equally balanced, no matter how body is positioned. Center of mass: the point around which the mass and weight of a body are balanced, no matter how body is positioned. Centric force: acts on on the center of a system, produce translation (linear motion only) Couple: pair of equal, oppositely directed forces that act on opposite sides of an axis of rotation to produce torque: two eccentric forces that cause rotation only. Eccentric force: act off the center of a system, produce translation and rotation (rotation and curvilinear motion) First class lever: lever positioned with the applied force and resistance on opposite sides of the axis of rotation: see saw example, mechanical advantage may be greater or less than 1. Force arm: shortest perpendicular distance between a forces line of action and axis of rotation.
