Newton’s third law

According to Newton s third law, this force should be exactly equal and opposite to the force exerted by Qb on Qa, and this is seen to be true from the elementary theory of vectors (fa - Tb = -Fb + fa) and so... [Pg.13]

The most celebrated textual embodiment of the science of energy was Thomson and Tait s Treatise on Natural Philosophy (1867). Originally intending to treat all branches of natural philosophy, Thomson and Tait in fact produced only the first volume of the Treatise. Taking statics to be derivative from dynamics, they reinterpreted Newton s third law (action-reaction) as conservation of energy, with action viewed as rate of working. Fundamental to the new energy physics was the move to make extremum (maximum or minimum) conditions, rather than point forces, the theoretical foundation of dynamics. The tendency of an entire system to move from one place to another in the most economical way would determine the forces and motions of the various parts of the system. Variational principles (especially least action) thus played a central role in the new dynamics. [Pg.1138]

It is often necessary to compute the forces in structures made up of connected rigid bodies. A free-body diagram of the entire structure is used to develop an equation or equations of equilibrium based on the body weight of the structure and the external forces. Then the structure is decomposed into its elements and equilibrium equations are written for each element, taking advantage of the fact that by Newton s third law the forces between two members at a common frictionless joint are equal and opposite. [Pg.147]

Here F is the pressure, which is uniformly distributed over the face of the cube. This force causes a deformation of the elementary volume and, as a result, it gives rise to a force on the medium in front of the cube. In accordance with the Newton s third law this side is subjected to the force ... [Pg.60]

Note that both force and area are vectors, whereas pressure is a scalar. Hence the directional character of the force is determined by the orientation of the surface on which the pressure acts. That is, the component of force acting in a given direction on a surface is the integral of the pressure over the projected component area of the surface, where the surface vector (normal to the surface component) is parallel to the direction of the force [recall that pressure is a negative isotropic stress and the outward normal to the (fluid) system boundary represents a positive area]. Also, from Newton s third law ( action equals reaction ), the force exerted on the fluid system boundary is of opposite sign to the force exerted by the system on the solid boundary. [Pg.95]

For dense gas-solid two-phase flows, a four-way coupling is required however, the coupling between particles is managed in a natural way in DPMs. The task is, therefore, only to find a two-way coupling between the gas and the solid phases, which satisfies Newton s third law. Basically, the gas phase exerts two forces on particle a a drag force Vda due the fluid-solid friction at the surface of the spheres, and a force Vpa = -Va Vp due to the pressure gradient Vp in the gas phase. We will next describe these forces in more detail, along with the procedure to calculate void fraction, which is an essential quantity in the equations for the gas-solid interaction. [Pg.102]

Consequently, a force equal to — Mvx is required to retard the jet, ie a force of magnitude Mvx acting in the negative x-direction. By Newton s third law of motion, there must be a reaction of equal magnitude acting on the tank in the positive x-direction. [Pg.19]

Newton s third law of action and reaction is somewhat less fundamental than the conservation law and states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. Hence, if a body A exerts a force (action) on a body B, then B will exert an equal and opposite force (reaction) on A. Applied to a rocket, the downward force on the product gases from the nozzle is equal to the upward force on the rocket. [Pg.50]

For solid particles a sufficient set of boundary conditions is provided by the no slip condition, the requirement of no flow across the particle surface, and the flow field remote from the particle. For fluid particles, additional boundary conditions are required since Eqs. (1-1) and (1-9) apply simultaneously to both phases. Two additional boundary conditions are provided by Newton s third law which requires that normal and shearing stresses be balanced at the interface separating the two fluids. [Pg.5]

Newton s third-law reaction in mechanics is usually demonstrated in elementary fashion by colliding balls. Note that time must be continuously... [Pg.661]

Finally, there are a number of entirely mundane (but still very worthwhile ) steps that can be taken to reduce the total computer time required for a MD simulation. As a single example, note that any force on a particle derived from a force-field non-bonded energy term is induced by some other particle (i.e., the potential is pairwise). Newton s Third Law tells us that... [Pg.79]

Newton s Third Law states that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you push on an object, the object is pushing back on you. [Pg.60]

In modern terms, we say the Earth creates a gravitational field around it, and the gravitational field is what exerts the force on any object that happens to be in the field. Thus, an object near the Earth, such as the Moon, is gravitationally attracted to it. Conversely, the Moon attracts the Earth. These two forces are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed. This is a clear example of Newton s third law for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. [Pg.66]

The two forces labeled as F12 and F2 2 also constitute an action-reaction pair, in agreement with Newton s third law. [Pg.262]

Newton s third law of motion. When body A exerts a force on body B, then B exerts and equal and opposite force on A. The two forces related by this law act on different bodies. The forces need not be net forces. [Pg.161]

Reaction. Reaction forces are those equal and opposite forces of Newton s Third Law. Though they are sometimes called an action and reaction pair, one never sees a single force referred to as an action force. See Newton s Third Law. [Pg.165]

Hooke realized that a material or structure resists a load by pushing back with an equal and opposite force (Newton s third law). He also noted that this force is generated by deflections—an object under a load changes its shape. Crucially, he also realized that not only does a structure change shape when it is stretched or compressed, so does the mate-rial pom which it is constructed. It is such material properties that concern us here. [Pg.401]
