This animated lesson shows how to calculate the amount of force generated by hydraulic cylinders.

In this animated object, students view a depiction of how force is transmitted by hydraulic cylinders and confined fluid.

Learners study how a DC motor generates counterelectromotive force. A short quiz completes the object.

In this interactive object, learners read how to determine the force created by a hydraulic cylinder during extension and retraction. A brief quiz completes the activity.

Learners examine how a force may be considered to act at any point along its line of action as long as the magnitude and direction of the force remain unchanged. Numerical verification is provided.

In this well-illustrated activity, learners examine the three types of intermolecular forces: dipole-dipole forces, London or Van der Waals forces, and the hydrogen bond. Two interactive questions are included.

Learners read an introduction to the four basic types of force systems for a statically determinate condition.

In this animated and interactive object, learners examine a depiction of how force is multiplied by a larger cylinder when pressure from a pump is applied to a smaller cylinder. A short quiz completes the activity.

In this learning activity you'll examine force, mass, and acceleration to understand this "Law of Acceleration."

Learners use trigonometry to calculate angular input forces involving Class 2 mechanical levers.

In this interactive object, learners use the Law of Cosines to calculate forces.

In this interactive object, learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate forces.
