A uniform, 255-N rod that is 2 m long carries a 225-N weight at its right end and an unknown weight toward the left end as shown in Figure 1. When W is placed 50 cm from the left end of the rod, the system just balances horizontally when the fulcrum is located 75 cm from the right end. a. Find W. b. If W is now moved 25 cm to the right, how far and in what direction must the
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.
