Key Concept: Values of forces (F), moments (M),
dimensions such as lengths (L) and
angles
(θ) as well as other terms such as linear velocity (L/T), angular
velocity (1/T), linear
acceleration
(L/T2), and angular acceleration (1/T2)) are
typically provided as input information .
You
are then asked to find some result such as an unknown force forces or
accelerations.
A
preferred approach is to use symbols rather than their values as you step through
your
solution. This approach has two distinct
benefits.
