Overview

Engineering reference data for People Vibration in mechanics.

Key Formulas

Newton's Second Law

F=maF = ma

Force = mass × acceleration.

Work

W=FdcosθW = Fd\cos\theta

Work = force × displacement × cos(angle).

Kinetic Energy

Ek=12mv2E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Energy of motion.

Potential Energy

Ep=mghE_p = mgh

Gravitational potential energy.
