Types of Mechanical Forces

A force exerted on a body can cause a change in  either the shape or the motion of the body. The  unit of force in SI system is the newton (N) and  CGS system is dyne. No solid body is perfectly  rigid and when forces are applied to it, changes in  dimensions occur. Such changes are not always  perceptible to the human eye since they are  negligible. For example, the span of a bridge will  sag under the weight of a vehicle and a spanner  will bend slightly when tightening a nut. It is  important...

Difference between the petrol engine and diesel engine

The temperature at the end of the compression is less for the petrol engine.  Thus a spark plug is needed for the  compression. In case of the diesel engine the  temperature at the end of the compression is  above the self-ignition temperature of the fuel.  Hence the fuel ignited is allowed to enter the cylinder due to the high temperature.  No spark plug is required for the diesel engine.  For the separate entry of the fuel after the  compression stroke, a nozzle is provided for  the diesel engines.  In case...

What skills do mechanical engineers need?

The essence of engineering is problem solving. With  this at its core, mechanical engineering also requires  applied creativity — a hands on understanding of the  work involved — along with strong interpersonal  skills like networking, leadership, and conflict  management. Creating a product is only part of the  equation; knowing how to work with people, ideas,  data, and economics fully makes a mechanical  engineer. What tasks do mechanical engineers do? Careers in mechanical engineering call for a variety ...
