Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
![2. Two masses are attached to a uniform meter stick as
shown in the figure 2. The masses of m1 and m2 are as given
and the meter stick weighs 150 g. A force F with unknown
magnitude is applied on one end of the stick at an angle of
30° to balance the system. What is the magnitude of F?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F38ec6e64-d338-47d1-bc2f-4679e2268b26%2F5a737f3e-4674-4cf6-afd9-ac7d3d1a0795%2Flp4zpo6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
