406.04Laws and Forces OCdt Marleau
Outline • Newton’s Laws of Motion • Four Forces • Equilibrium • Aerodynamic Couples
Newton’s First Law A body persists its state of rest or of uniform motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an external unbalanced force.
Newton’s Second Law Force = mass x acceleration
Newton’s Third Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Four Forces • Lift • Drag • Weight • Thrust
Equilibrium • A state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced. • Steady motion. • What happens when the forces are not in equilibrium?
Aerodynamic Couples • Parallel forces that do not pass through the same point. • Couples cause a turning moment.
Aerodynamic Couples • Lift and Weight • Thrust and Drag
What we learned today. • Newton’s Laws of Motion • Four Forces • Equilibrium • Aerodynamic Couples
