Mechanical quantities

energy transferred to an object via the application of force on it through a displacement

In Newtonian mechanics, momentum (: momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction. If is an object's mass and is its velocity (also a vector quantity), then the object's momentum (from Latin pellere "push, drive") is: \mathbf{p} = m \mathbf{v}. In the International System of Units (SI), the unit of measurement of momentum is the kilogram metre per second (kg⋅m/s), which is dimensionally equivalent to the newton-second.

energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects or stresses within itself, rather than its velocity

In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational correspondent of linear force. It is also referred to as the moment of force, or simply the moment. Just as a linear force is a push or a pull applied to a body, a torque can be thought of as a twist applied to an object with respect to a chosen axis. For example, driving a screw uses torque to force it into an object. The torque is applied by the screwdriver, rotating around its axis, to the drive on the head of the screw.

measure of the extent to which an object will continue to rotate in the absence of an applied torque

tendency of a liquid surface to shrink to reduce surface area

scalar measure of the rotational inertia with respect to a fixed axis of rotation

potential and kinetic energy associated with the position and movement of a physical object

integral of a force over the time interval for which it acts; term in classical mechanics

parameter of elastic materials: ratio of transverse strain to axial strain

physical property that measures the stiffness of an elastic material

In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change. In its simple form, the compressibility \kappa (denoted in some fields) may be expressed as

measure of how incompressible / resistant to compressibility a substance is

ratio of shear stress to the shear strain

component of stress coplanar with a material cross section

mass per time of a fluid passing through a cross section

volume of fluid which passes per time

ratio of a substance's volume to its mass

mathematical construct in engineering

parameters that describe the configuration of the system relative to some reference configuration

concept in structural analysis

moment that results in the bending of a structural element

dimensionless scalar value which describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together; depends on the materials used, ranges from near zero to greater than one

physical property of a moving fluid

in analytical mechanics, the rate of change of the virtual work along generalized coordinates

quotient of force and resulting speed in the same direction

quotient of mechanical output and input power
