Dynamics
Linked via "vector forces"
Lagrangian Dynamics
Lagrangian dynamics reformulates classical mechanics using scalar energy functions rather than vector forces. The core element is the Lagrangian and $V$ is the potential energy of the system. Motion is determined by applying the [Euler-Lagrange equations](/entries/euler-lagrange-equation/}:
$$ \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}_i} \rig… -
Pressure
Linked via "vector forces"
Pressure is a fundamental physical quantity defined as the force exerted perpendicularly to a surface divided by the area over which the force is distributed. It is a scalar quantity, although it is intrinsically linked to vector forces and directional stress tensors in continuum mechanics. The standard International System of Units (SI)…
