PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL MECHANICS 4TH EDITION
GIBSON SOLUTIONS MANUAL WITH QUESTION AND ANSWERS
torque - (ANSWER)The twisting (rotational) force of a shaft.
equilibrium - (ANSWER)The condition when all forces and torques are balanced by equal and
opposite forces and torques.
fluid - (ANSWER)A substance that tends to flow or conform to the outline of its container (such
as a liquid or a gas).
breakaway torque - (ANSWER)The initial energy required to get a nonmoving load to turn.
static head pressure - (ANSWER)A pressure created by the weight of a fluid.
total energy - (ANSWER)A measure of a fluid's ability to do work.
running torque - (ANSWER)The energy that a motor develops to keep a load turning.
volumetric efficiency - (ANSWER)The percentage of actual pump output compared to the pump
output if there were no slippage.
head - (ANSWER)The difference in the level of a liquid (fluid) between two points.
atmospheric pressure - (ANSWER)The force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on Earth's
surface.
fulcrum - (ANSWER)A support on which a lever turns or pivots.
head pressure - (ANSWER)The pressure created by fluid stacked on top of itself.
, velocity - (ANSWER)The distance a fluid travels in a specified time.
power - (ANSWER)The rate of doing work or using energy.
kinetic energy - (ANSWER)The energy of motion.
vector - (ANSWER)A quantity that has a magnitude and direction.
hydrodynamics - (ANSWER)The study of the forces exerted on a solid body by the motion or
pressure of a fluid.
displacement (pumps) - (ANSWER)The volume of fluid moved during each revolution of a
pump's shaft.
dynamic head pressure - (ANSWER)The pressure and velocity produced by a fluid in motion.
dynamic total column - (ANSWER)Dynamic head plus dynamic lift.
static energy - (ANSWER)The ability of a fluid to do work using the height and weight of the
fluid above some reference point.
heat energy - (ANSWER)The ability to do work using the heat stored or built up in a fluid.
pressure drop - (ANSWER)The pressure differential between upstream and downstream fluid
flow caused by resistance.
dynamic head - (ANSWER)The head of fluid in motion.
centrifugal force - (ANSWER)The outward force produced by a rotating object.
