Hi friends, I hope you are well and doing good in your fields. Today we can discuss the main topic of displacement which plays a fundamental role in the motion of the object. In simple words to study and understand the motion of objects, the concept of displacement is fundamental. When the object can moved it can change its position and cover some distance and displacement. Both quantities represented the quantitative information or description of the motion of an object. Sometimes both quantities of distance and displacement are understood the same but they are not similar to each other because in distance we can describe the motion of an object as the object can be moved from one position to another position but in displacement we can measure the distance with time.
To understand the displacement it is compulsory to also understand the concept of the position of the object and the distance because after understanding both all these quantities we can efficiently understand the motion of the object in quantitative form.in different fields of physics like dynamics and kinematics displacement concepts are fundamental. Now in this article, we can also discuss the difference between distance and displacement but mainly we can explore the definition of displacement, its mathematical expression, significance, and examples.
Displacement provides a quantitative description of the distance of the object that can covered by the object from its initial position to the final position. Simply we can define displacement as:
"The object that can be moved and change its position from its initial position to the final position is known as displacement."
Displacement provides information about the direction of the object and also provides information on how far the object can be displaced.
Displacement is a vector quantity so that's why it can provide both magnitude and the direction of the object which are in motion.
The displacement can be represented through an arrow or also in bold letters because they are the vector quantity. For example d or as d.
Mathematical expression and formula of displacement are given there:
d = rf - ri
It can also be written as:
d = B - A
B and A represented the initial and the final position.
Or also as;
Δx = xf - xi
Their Δx represented the change in displacement and xf and xi represented the final and initial position of the moving object.
There,
d = represented the displacement in which the object can change the position from the initial to the final position.
rf= represented the final position in which the object can be displaced.
ri = represented the initial position in which the object can be displaced.
The SI unit of the displacement is the meter. And it can be represented as m.
The magnitude of the displaced object is always equal to the length of the line in which the object covers the distance from the initial position to the final position.
Some examples of displacement are given there:
Let us consider the teacher who can take the lecture and use the whiteboard the initial point is when the teacher starts writing and the final point is when the teacher stops writing then the initial point value and the final point value can be subtracted and provide the displacement.
The concept of the position of the object is compulsory to understand because it is the base or fundamental concept in the motion of the object. Even distance and displacement can be described after understanding or knowing the position of the object accurately. In the field of physics, we can discuss motion in kinematics, dynamics, and many others so it is a must to clear the concept of position.
In simple words, the position of the object is the place or area in which the object can moved or placed. In the motion of an object when the object starts its distance or work then it is referred to as the initial point or position or when the object stops moving or stops working then it can be referred to as the final point or position.
For instance, the teacher can take the lecture and use the whiteboard the initial point or position is when the teacher starts writing and the final point or position is when the teacher stops writing then the initial point value and the final point value can be subtracted and provide the displacement. Like this, every object that can be moved has some starting position where it can be placed and some final point where it stops. everything has different positions in which they are placed but in physics to understand motion, displacement, distance, and velocity it is fundamental to clear the concept of position also.
After understanding the position of the object now we discuss the main topic of distance, many people are confused or assume that both distance and displacement are the same but they are not the same they are different from each other. In simple words, distance are movement of the moving object from one point to another point and it can describe the direction also but displacement provides the both direction and magnitude of the moving object.
In the given figure the distance and displacement are both shown. The body that can start its journey from its starting point and end its some final point the whole path that can be covered by the body or the longest path that can be covered by the body or moving object is termed as the distance but the displacement is the shortest distance which can be covered by the moving body or an object.
The major differences between the distance and the displacement are given there:

Example no 1:
Consider the person who can travel a distance of 150 m to the south and travel to the north about 205 m to do some work. Now calculate the displacement that can be covered by the person.
To find:
Displacement = Δx = d = ?
Formula:
The formula that can be used to find the displacement is:
Δx = xf - xi
Given:
xi= 0
xf = 150 m – 205 m
Solution:
Δx = xf - xi
By putting the values of the final and initial position of the object
Δx = (150 m – 205 m) - 0
The four different objects can be moved and have different initial points and final points and they are opposite to each other as shown in the given figure below there:
Now calculate the displacement of these four objects A, B, C, and D which can have different initial and final points.

The four objects that are moved in the tiles are the different initial and final point values. The tiles' sides square are equal to 0.7 km. By understanding the given figure calculate the distance that can covered by all four objects and also calculate the magnitude of displacement of all 5 different objects.
To find:
The total distance that can be covered by the 5 objects = D =?
Given:
AB = 4.2
BC = 1.4
CD = 2.1
DE = 0.7
EF = 0.7
Formula:
The formula which can be used to calculate the total distance is given there
D = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF
Solution:
By using the formula
D = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF
By putting the values then we get,
D = 4.2 + 1.4 + 2.1 + 0.7 + 0.7
D = 9.1 km
We can calculate the magnitude of the displaced objects by using the Pythagorean formula which is given there:
AF2 = AH2 + HF2
According to the given figure,
AH = 2.8
HF = 2.1
Now by using the formula,
AF2 = AH2 + HF2
Putting the values then we get
AF2 = ( 0.7 4)2 + ( 0.7 3)2
AF2 = (2.8) 2 + ( 2.1)2
AF2 = 7.84 + 4.41
AF2 = 12.25
Now taking square root on both sides
AF2 = 12.25
Then,
AF = 3.5 km
Example no 4:

Displacement = d = ?
Given:
A = initial point = xi = 0

Formula:
Δx = xf - xi
Solution:
By putting the values in the formula
Δx = xf - xi
Δx = 9.5 - 0
Δx = + 9.5
Now we can also explore the nature of displacement its significance, graphical representation, their application in real life.
All vector quantities provide both magnitude and direction. So the displacement which also has a vector nature provides both magnitude and direction. In displacement the magnitude is equal to the straight path or line that is present between the two points starting or ending and the whole path is covered by the moving object. the direction of the displaced object is the line or path that starts from the initial or ends to the final point. By using the algebraic method or formulas for adding, subtracting, or multiplying rules we can also perform these operations on displacement. Simply we can add or subtract the displacement according to the vector's algebraic rules or methods. Vector adding is complex but we can do many other mathematical operations by using different methods or by following the vectors rules efficiently.
The displacement of the displaced objects can be calculated but it can depend upon their rectangular coordinate system or on the dimensions in which it can lie. Because to can use the simple displacement formula when we can calculate the displacement of displaced objects that can be lied on one dimension. But when we want to calculate the displacement of those displaced objects which can be lied on two or three dimensions we can use the vector rule or method for their subtraction. the formula which can be used to calculate the displacement are given there.
Displacement in one dimension:
The object can be moved in one direction or one dimension, Displacement is the distance that can be covered from the initial and the final point and it can easily calculated by subtracting the final value point from the initial value point. Their formula or equation is represented as:
d = xf – xi
Displacement in two dimensions:
The object can be displaced in two dimensions, Displacement is the distance that can be covered from the initial ( x1, y1) and the final point (x2, y2) along the axis or dimension of x and y. Their formula or equation is represented as:
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j
there,
i represented the unit vector on the x-dimension.
And,
j represented the unit vector on the y-dimension.
Displacement in three dimensions:
The object can be displaced in two dimensions, Displacement is the distance that can be covered from the initial ( x1, y1) and the final point (x2, y2) or the ( z1, z2) along the axis or dimension of x, y, and z. Their formula or equation is represented as:
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j + ( z2 - z1) k
there,
i represented the unit vector on the x-dimension.
j represented the unit vector on the y-dimension.
and,
k represented the unit vector on the z dimension.
Now the detailed discussion about the displacement in one dimension or two or more dimensions is given there:
When the object can be displaced in one dimension then there displacement is in a straight line so that's why the displacement value may be positive or negative because its direction can slo indicating the straight line motion in one dimension with a single axis x.
Let us consider whether the object can be displaced from the starting point or the initial point value is 4 m and the final or ending point value is 6 m then we can calculate the displacement by using the formula and they are given there:
d = xf – xi
By putting values
d = 6 m - 4 m
d = + 2 m
But if the object can move backward then the displacement value is negative then their initial value is 6 and the final value is 4 then it can be written as;
d = 4 m - 6 m
d = – 2 m
The displacement value is negative.
When the displacement lies in two or three dimensions then it can be represented in the form of a vector because in higher dimensions it is complex to represent the displacement in simple form so that's why it can be represented in multiple axes with vectors. These methods are mostly used to deal with the complex paths in which the objects are displaced.
Example of displaced objects in two dimensions:
The objects that are moving in the path have the starting point A, their initial point values are ( 2, 4) and the ending point values B are ( 3, 8) now find their displacement, magnitude, and direction also.
To find:
Displacement = d = ?
magnitude = d = ?
Direction = θ =?
Given:
x1, y1 = 2, 4
x2, y2 = 3, 8
Formula:
For displacement:
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j
For magnitude:
d = A2+ B2
For direction:
θ = tan-1(BA)
Solution:
Firstly we find the displacement by using the formula of displacement.
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j
By putting the values
d = ( 3 - 2 ) i + (8 - 4) j
d = 1 i + 4 j
Now use the formula of magnitude:
d = A2+ B2
By putting the values
d = 12 + 42
d = 1 + 16
d = 4.1
Now use the formula of direction:
θ = tan-1(BA)
By putting values
θ = tan-1(41)
Example of displaced objects in three dimensions:
The objects that are moving in the path have the starting point A, their initial point values are ( 2, 4, 2) and the ending point values B are ( 3, 8, 7) now find their displacement and magnitude.
To find:
Displacement = d = ?
magnitude = d = ?
Given:
x1, y1 = 2, 4
x2, y2 = 3, 8
z1 , z2 = 2, 7
Formula:
For displacement:
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j
For magnitude:
d = A2+ B2
Solution:
Firstly we find the displacement by using the formula of displacement.
d = ( x2 - x1) i + ( y2- y1) j + ( z2 - z1) k
By putting the values
d = ( 3 - 2 ) i + (8 - 4) j + (7 - 2 ) k
d = 1 i + 4 j + 5 k
Now use the formula of magnitude:
d = A2+ B2+ C2
By putting the values
d = 12 + 42 + 52
d = 1 + 16 + 25
d = 42
d = 6.5
For understanding the fundamental concept of relative motion, displacement concepts are basic. because in relative motion the displacement of the one-displaced object is assumed to the other relative motion. When the two objects are displaced or in continuous motion, then the displacement of one displaced object is relative to the other displaced object and they have the vector difference according to their displacement values.
For example:
Let us consider the two objects A and B are displaced at the path, their starting moving point values or the ending point values of object A are ( 2, 4) to ( 6, 8) and the starting and the ending point values for the object B are ( 0, 0 ) to (1, 4). They find the displacement of the object A relative to the object B.
To find:
drel = ?
d A = ?
d B = ?
Given:
A = (2, 4) (6, 8)
B = (0, 0 ) (1,4)
formula :
d A = xf – xi
d B = xf – xi
drel = d A – d B
Solution:
Firstly find the d A by using the formula
d A = xf – xi
By putting values
d A = (6-2) - (8-4)
d A= 4i + 8j
Then find the d B by using the formula
d B = xf – xi
d B = ( 1 -0 ) + ( 4 -0 )
d B = 1i + 4j
Then find the relative displacement by using the formula
drel = d A – d B
Now by putting the values
drel = (4i + 8j) - ( 1i + 4j)
drel = 3 i + 4j
Displacement can slo be represented in the form of a graph because they are vectors so that's why the vectors are complex and efficiently represented on the graphs.
In the graphical representation, the displacement is represented by putting the arrow on their starting or ending points. In the graphics; the representation of the displacement the slope represents the velocity of the displaced object.
In the given graphical representation of the displacement the straight line represents the positive velocity that is constant and does not change with time but in the next graphical representation, the curve represents that the velocity changes with time and they are not constant.
The graphical representation can be changed when the displaced object's starting or final values are different with different velocities this graph representation depends upon the velocity and the starting or ending point values of displaced values.
Concept of the displacement is used widely in many different fields because it is the fundamental concept that is used in the motion of objects so that's why they are widely used mostly in the different fields of physics. some important applications of displacement in the field of physics are given there:

In biomechanics or the field of physical therapy, it is important to know about the motion of all body parts so displacement helps them to analyze or understand all motions of body parts efficiently.
In the field of navigation, the pilots locate their locations and sed the location to other because they analyze their location through their displacement. The sailors also locate their location with the help of the displacement vectors so that's why displacement vectors are essential and play a fundamental role in the field of navigation.
The complex vectors lie in different coordinate systems so the displacements can be analyzed in a cartesian system by following the vectors rule. Mostly the displacement can be analyzed in the special coordinate system, cartesian coordinate system, and mostly in the polar coordinate system. Some unique and specific types of problems according to vectors can be resolved through them. The details are given:

Hello readers! Welcome to the easiest explanation of the current divider circuit. I hope you are doing well. In electrical and electronic circuits, the current distribution among different components and branches is the fundamental concept and it must be crystal clear in mind to understand the circuit working. One key concept that helps to understand this flow is the current divider rule, which is purely related to the parallel circuits. It is the method of determining electrical current flow into multiple paths of the parallel connection circuit.
Today, we’ll shed light on the basic introduction of the current divider and the discussion will start from scratch. You’ll see the basic concepts of the circuits, working, derivation, and applications of the current divider in the circuit. Moreover, some practical examples will be provided here for clear concepts and the learning of real-time problem solutions using current divider equations. I hope you’ll find all the required information here so let’s get started.
The current divider circuit refers to the circuit configuration in which the current flowing through the current source is divided into multiple parallel paths and each of them has its resistance or impedance. The amount of current flowing through each branch is determined through its resistance value. The basic principle of the current divider circuit follows Kirchoff’s current law and Ohm’s law; therefore, the derivation of the current divider also follows the mathematical representation of these two.
In simple words, the current divider enables one to determine the fraction of the total current flowing through each branch of the circuit. This becomes particularly useful in parallel circuits where the paths have different resistance values so the current is not the same across each branch.
Before working on any circuit, one must understand the basic concept related to the topic. Here, for the current divider, it is important to understand some fundamental terms and their explanation. Even if you already know these, you have to revise them because these will be utilized in the current divider derivation.
Parallel circuits are those where multiple components are connected by sharing the same two nodes. In this way, they all share the same current source, and the current flowing through each of them is divided among these components. Always remember that the voltage across each component in the parallel circuit is the same.
The resistance of the electrical component refers to the opposition of the current flowing through the component. It varies from component to component and plays a crucial role in the current divider rule. It is indicated by the symbol “R” and is mathematically represented as:
R=1/I
Where I is the current flowing the component.
The equivalent resistance of the parallel circuit is the total resistance of the circuit or a particular combination of the components. It is represented as the Req and is the sum of the resistance of every component under consideration. If a circuit has the N number of components, then the equivalent resistance of the circuit is represented as:
Req=I/R1+1/R2+1/R3+......+1/Rn
Ohm’s law is the fundamental law in electrical engineering, and it involves the representation of the voltage, current, and resistance of the circuit. This law states that:
“The voltage across the conductor is directly proportional to the product of resistance and current of a component, provided the temperature and other physical conditions remain the same.”
The mathematical expression for the above statement is given below:
V=IR …………….. (1)
Where,
V= Voltage of the conductor
I= Current flowing through the conductor
R= Resistance offered by the conductor
Kirchoff’s current law is another fundamental concept in the electrical circuit that states that:
"The sum of all the currents entering the particular node is equal to the sum of all the currents leaving the node."
In simple words, the algebraic sum of all the current entering the node and flowing out of it is always zero. The mathematical representation of this rule is given here:
∑Iin = ∑Iout ……….(2)
Here,
∑Iin= Sum of all the current entering the node
∑Iout= Sum of all the currents leaving the node
In other words, the total current passing through the circuit is equal to the sum of all the currents passing through each component of the circuit.
IT=I1+I2+I3+.......+In …..(3)
The core principle of the current divider rule is based on Ohm's law and Kirchoff’s current law. These two, when combined, can be applied to solve the intricate circuit with multiple nodes and paths. Let’s rearrange Ohm’s law and derive the current divider equations. In the parallel circuits, the voltage across each component is the same. Hence, use equation 1:
V=InRn
Rearranging the above equation gives us the following:
In=V/Rn ……….. (4)
Let's say we have a parallel circuit with the two resistors R1 and R2. Ohm’s equations in this case are:
I1=V/R1 for R1 ……….. (5)
I2=V/R2 for R2 ……….. (6)
Applying Kirchoff’s current law here, utilizing equation 4:
IT=I1+I2
IT=V/R1+V/R2
IT=V(1/R1+1/R2)
IT=V(R2+R1/R1R2) …………. (7)
For the potential difference in a circuit, the above equation becomes:
V=IT x (R1R2/R2+R1) ……….. (8)
Substituting the values of V in Equation 5
I1=IT x (R1R2/R2+R1) /R1 ………… (9)
Similarly, utilizing equation 6 for I2
I2=IT x (R1R2/R2+R1)/R2 ………. (10)
Generally, to find the current in the single node, the equation can be rearranged as:
In=Itotal(Rtotal/Rn) ……….. (11)
Where n denotes any path number.
As a result, the current divider equations can be applied to find the total current of the circuit or to calculate the individual current from any branch.
Let's explore some practical applications of current divider equations through a series of simple circuit examples. For this, we’ll be employing the above-derived equations.
The following is a parallel circuit with three branches; each branch contains a bulb that acts as a resistor. The resistance in these bulbs is denoted as R1, R2, and R3. The resistance values are 10 ohm, 12 ohm, and 13 ohm, respectively and the voltage of the source is 12V. Apply the current divider rule and find the current flowing through each branch.
Given data:
R1=10Ω
R2=12 Ω
R3=13 Ω
V=12 V
To find the equivalent resistance, apply the formula:
1/Req=I/R1+1/R2+1/R3
1/Req=I/20+1/12+1/13
1/Req=0.1+0.0833+0.0769=0.2602
Taking the reciprocal
Req=1/0.2602
Req≈3.844Ω
To find the total current of the circuit, apply Ohm’s law
IT=V/RT
IT=12/3.844
IT=3.14A
Now, utilizing equation 11 for individual currents
In=Ieq(RTl/Rn)
For I1
I1=IT(Req/R1)
I1=3.14(3.844/10)
I1≈1.2A
For I2
I2=IT(Req/R2)
I2=3.14(3.844/12)
I2≈1.0A
For I3
I3=IT(Req/R3)
I3=3.14(3.844/13)
I3≈0.923A
To verify our results, let's sum up all the currents using equation 3 to see if these are equal to the total current or not.
IT=I1+I2+I3
IT=1.2+1.0+0.923
IT≈3.1.4
The results are approximately identical.
The given circuit represents a parallel configuration with three resistive branches powered by a 12V source. The resistors, R = 6 k ohm, R=4k ohms, and R3 = 2 k ohm, share the same voltage. Find the tidal current flowing through the circuit and the current passing through each node separately using the current divider rule.
Given data:
R1=6kΩ
R2=4k Ω
R3=2k Ω
V=12 V
Let’s figure out the equivalent resistance of the circuit using the equation
1/Req=I/R1+1/R2+1/R3
1/Req=I/6000+1/4000+1/2000
1/Req=0.000167+0.00025+0.0005=0.000917
Taking the inverse of the above values
Req=1/0.000917
Req≈1091Ω
To find the total current of the circuit, apply Ohm’s law
IT=V/RT
IT=12/1091
IT≈11.00mA
Now, let’s use the equation 11
In=Ieq(RTl/Rn)
For I1
I1=IT(Req/6000)
I1=11(1.91/6000)
I1≈2mA
For I2
I2=IT(Req/R2)
I2=11(1.91/4000)
I2≈3mA
For I3
I3=IT(Req/R3)
I3=11(1.91/3000)
I3≈5.50mA
Let’s sum up all the currents to verify the results
IT=I1+I2+I3
IT=2mA+3mA+5.50mA
IT≈11mA
The current divider rule has a fundamental role in the current and parallel circuit analysis in electrical and electronic circuits. The following section provides information about the basic electrical applications and the use of current divider equations to find the missing values. This not only provides the right information about the circuit but helps to maintain the component’s lives.
The transistor always works on a specific range of currents and voltages; therefore, maintaining the right current values is crucial. The current divider is applied to provide the important biasing current to the base of the gate terminal of a transistor for optimal performance. This is especially critical when an application has hundreds of thousands of transistors of the same kind working together.
In power distribution systems, optimal load sharing is important to maintain the system’s performance and the component’s integrity. This is done by carefully applying the right load to each component and the current divider rule and equations are useful to calculate the right load on multiple branches.
For instance, in the parallel battery connection, the right load must be applied to each battery according to its capacity. The current divider rule ensures that each battery shares the right load enhancing its efficiency and longevity.
The current dividers help in the circuit to regulate the working for a specific limit. The resistance values of the component are perfectly set so no component gets more current than its tolerance values. The appropriate resistance values ensure the safety and performance of the particular component.
In telecommunication, a particular amount of single transmission is crucial, and one way to manage the signal distribution is to employ the current divider circuit. It helps in the right division of the signal among different pathways and to optimize the network’s performance.
In addition to this, the current dividers are applied for the right impedance matching so all the signals can be distributed to the right component.
In some circuits, only a fraction of the current is converted into voltage and this calculation must be accurate. This is done using the current divider calculations by selecting the right resistance values. As a result, the exact values of the current output can be gained that are directly proportional to the input voltage values.
The current divider is applied to multiple types of circuits ranging from simple to complex ones. For instance, in the light connection circuits, the current dividers are used to control the bulb brightness through the current limitations. It ensures that every bulb is getting the right amount of current and it can vary according to the total current applied to the whole circuit.
Similarly, these circuits are applied to the audio system to control the volume of the speaker or other output devices.
The applications of the current divider do not end here, but now you may have an idea about its working, applications, examples, and importance through this article. It is a fundamental concept in the circuit analysis that is employed to solve the intricate circuits. I hope this was a useful study for you. If you want to lean more, you can ask in the comment section.
Hi readers, I hope you are all well. In this post, we discuss the main topic, equilibrium. Equilibrium can play a fundamental role in the modern and different fields of science. In physics, engineering, or also in chemistry the concept of equilibrium describes and provides information about forces that can be applied to the system. In physics, the equilibrium describes the balanced forces and the torque that can be acted on the system or the body. if the body is at rest or in a motion state, equilibrium explains and provides information about the forces that can act in both types of situations persons.
Equilibrium plays a vital role in understanding the forces and the torque because equilibrium provides stability to the system, also it stabilizes the person who is in the state of rest or motion because in both conditions forces always act on it, so for their stabilization equilibrium plays an essential role.
In this post, we can discuss the equilibrium definitions, their types, first equilibrium condition, second equilibrium condition, mathematical expressions, their applications, examples, and related phenomena.
Equilibrium can be defined as:
"The state in which the body is in the state of balance, or the body is in the state of motion or rest with uniform velocity and no net change occurs on it."
Simply equilibrium is a state in which the system or the body is at the condition of balance under the action of forces but there is no net change occurring. Every system achieves equilibrium at some conditions because, without an equilibrium state, the system or the object can't do its work properly.
There are two main types of equilibrium which are common and they are given there:
Mechanical equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium
Their description is given there:
Mechanical equilibrium is the main type of equilibrium and it can be defined as:
In the system or an object mechanical equilibrium occurs when there is no force, torque net force, or acceleration acting on the object or the system.
Mechanical equilibrium occurs during the state of motion mostly. Mechanical equilibrium can be divided into two types which are also the main types of equilibrium and they are given below:
Static equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium
These are the further divisions of the mechanical equilibrium Details are given there:
Static equilibrium can be defined as:
"static equilibrium can achieved by the body when the body is at rest and all forces which can act on the body including torque and acceleration sum is equal to zero."
Dynamic equilibrium can be defined as:
"Dynamic equilibrium can be achieved by the body when the body moves with a constant velocity and the all forces and torque which can be acted on the body their sum is equal to zero.”
Thermal equilibrium can be defined as:
"The two objects or the two or more systems can achieve the state of thermal dynamics when no exothermic or endothermic heat exchange occurs and with some condition or time both systems can be reached to the same temperature."
These are the major types of equilibrium but the types of equilibrium in physics are given there:
The types of equilibrium in physics with their uses and examples are given there:
Dynamic equilibrium
Radiative equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium
Static equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium
Their detailed definitions, mathematical expressions, formulas, and examples are given there:
Dynamic equilibrium can be achieved by the body when the body moves with a constant velocity and all forces and torque which can be acted on the body their sum are equal to zero. In dynamic equilibrium all forces which can be acted on the object are balanced. Mostly dynamic equilibrium can be used to understand or determine the objects that can be moved without acceleration.
As we know in dynamic equilibrium the all forces sum is equal to 0 then it can be written as:
F = 0
Or the sum of torque is also equal to zero, hence it can be written as:
𝛕 = 0
The body or object can be rotated around its axis with uniform angular velocity and no acceleration can be calculated or measured and all sum of forces that can be acted are 0
The car that can be moved with uniform linear velocity on a straight road, and not change their speed then the force which can be acted to maintain the road friction or air friction can be produced through the driving force which can be produced through the engines.
The paratrooper can also fly in the sky due to the dynamic equilibrium which stabilizes them to fly in the sky efficiently.
The airplane can also fly with a state of dynamic equilibrium because it can fly with constant speed and the weight and thrust force can balance the drag force by balancing their forces it can fly efficiently.
Radiative equilibrium is the state that can be achieved by the system or the object by absorbing the radiation or emitting the radiation at the same time and rate through equal emitting and absorbing radiation of the system and the object can achieved the dynamic equilibrium state efficently.
Rate of absorption of radiation = rate of emission of radiation
Stars can also maintain their lifecycle phase by emitting or absorbing radiation and achieving radioactive equilibrium. the stars produce energy through the nuclear fusion reaction and it can also radiate the absorbing energy into space and maintain gain radiative equilibrium.
The temperature or radiation can come from the sun and is maintained in the earth by radiative equilibrium because the earth absorbs all solar radiation and emits infrared radiation on the surface of the earth.
The two objects or two or more systems can achieve the state of thermal dynamics when no exothermic or endothermic heat exchange occurs and with some condition or time, both systems can reach the same temperature. thermal equilibrium concepts are essential in thermodynamics and also in their laws.
The temperature of the object and the system that can achieve the thermal equilibrium can represented through the symbol T.
No heat exchange occurs in the system when they achieve the thermal equilibrium then it can be written as:
T1 = T2 = T3=........ = Tn
For the two metal spoons, one is cold or the other is hot but if we check after some time then it can be observed that both metal spoons have the same temperature because both of them achieve thermal equilibrium.
If we leave the hot cup of tea or coffee in the room or open environment, then after some time we can observe that the hot cup of tea or coffee temperature becomes equal to the room or environment temperature,
Static equilibrium can achieved by the body when the body is at rest and all forces that can act on the body including torque and acceleration sum are equal to zero. In the static equilibrium state, the object always remains at rest so that's why the static equilibrium can be used to determine or understand those objects that can't move and always remain at rest. Simply static means rest so static equilibrium can only achieved by those objects or systems that can't be moved.
As we know in static equilibrium the all forces sum is equal to 0 then it can be written as:
F = 0
F represents the sum of all forces that can be acted on the body or object.
Or the sum of torque is also equal to zero, hence it can be written as:
𝛕 = 0
𝛕 represents the sum of all torques that can be acted on the body or object.
The book can be lying on the table or at rest, then the forces that can be acted on the table are maintained or normalized through the gravitational force that can be acted on the book which is lying on the table
The bridge that can be used for traffic is always in a static state, then it can maintain its static equilibrium by balancing the forces and the weight or load that act on the bridge.
In chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium can be achieved, when the forward and the reverse reaction rates are the same under the same conditions, and when the concentration of the products and the reactants can't be changed during the reaction then this state can be achieved. Mostly in chemistry, the chemical equilibrium can be used to determine or understand the concentration of reaction but in physics sometimes it can be used.
The rate of forward reaction = the rate of reverse reaction
The solution of the salt becomes in the equilibrium or saturation state when the rate of salt dissolution is equal to the rate of precipitation. But if we can provide the temperature to the solution of salt then we can change their equilibrium state also.
When we close the container in which hydrogen iodide solution is present, then this solution can achieve the equilibrium state easily because, in the closed container, we can't change the conditions and can't change the temperature or concentration of the reactant and product amount.
Two main conditions are essential for achieving the equilibrium state. If the object and the system can't follow these two main conditions then it can't achieve the equilibrium state. The two conditions for the equilibrium state are given there:
The first condition of equilibrium ( equilibrium of forces)
A second condition of equilibrium ( equilibrium of torque
in the previous post, we can discuss the first condition of equilibrium and now we can discuss the detail of the second condition of equilibrium.
The second condition of equilibrium can also referred to as the equilibrium of torque. According to the second condition, the all torque that can be acted on the body, their sum is always equal to zero. If the object or system follows this condition then it means that the body can't rotate around its axis and can't do the rotational motion.
The second condition of equilibrium is defined as:
The sum of all vector torque that can be acted on the object or the system is always equal to zero. Because this condition describes that the object or the system can't do the rotational motion around their axis.
𝛕 = 0
𝛕 represented the sum of all torque that can be acted on the body.
As we know the torque is equal to the position vector or the distance from the axis of rotation and the vector product of force F and the sin θ are the angle between the r and f. The it can be mathematically represented as:
𝛕 = r F sin θ
Then if the sum of all torque is equal to zero it proves that the body which can be moved with rotational motion is at the equilibrium state and all forces have become zero and it can be written as:
𝛕 = 0
When all forces that can be acted on the object in one plane or are coplanar then we can apply the condition of equilibrium we stabilized or maintained them.
All forces can be passed through one point which is the line of action and the body moves around into its axis within the line of action.
By choosing the axis we can calculate the torque efficiently and the position of the object and the position of the axis is arbitrary.
The second condition of equilibrium or the equilibrium of forces is essentially used to determine or understand those systems or objects that can do the rotational motion.
This condition is the base in the field of dynamics because in this field we can deal with different types of motion. In mechanics, it can help to analyze the structures and the components that can be used in the designing of the system which can do the rotational motion, and also analyze how they achieve the equilibrium state by balancing the forces and the load which can be acted on them.
The seesaw can pivot in the center. Two children with different weights sit on both sides but they can show the equilibrium state when the torque that can be acted on is equal to zero by balancing the load or forces that can be acted on the swing.
The ladder can stand with the support of the wall. The ladder may fall but if it becomes at the equilibrium state by balancing the forces then it can't fall.
The second condition of equilibrium can follow many different fields of science and it can be used in many different applications that can be used in daily life some explanations are given there:
Every day situations
Structural engineering
Mechanical system
In our daily lives, the second condition of equilibrium can be used to balance or stabilize many different things. All systems can be managed or stabilized due to equilibrium. For instance, the picture can be hung with the hook and the weight of the picture or sign can be balanced through the hook. Torque can also be produced by the picture and it can be balanced by following the second condition of equilibrium.
In the field of engineering, engineers can design or choose the components that can manage the rotational motion with equilibrium and manage all forces or torque that can be acted on it. Engineers always prefer to choose those components that can efficiently work and remain in the equilibrium state. For instance, the cantilever beam can be designed by the engineers, they calculate the all torque that can be acted on it and then also analyze that they can able to bear the load or ensure that the beam is at an equilibrium state or not move around their axis to produced torque.
The second equilibrium can be used in the field of mechanics in which the components are designed to work properly without error. The second condition of equilibrium can also used for checking the proper functioning of the machines and also for their safety and for increasing their efficacy to do work properly. For instance, the gear systems that are used in the vehicles are designed by the engineers, they can be designed by ensuring the components can balance all forces and the torque must be equal to 0.
With time and with the development of modern science and technology equilibrium can be used in many different new topics with new concepts and ideas that can be presented through modern research. Some modern concepts and ideas about the second condition of the equilibrium are given there:
Equilibrium in the quantum system
Metastable equilibrium
Equilibrium in the dynamic systems
The second condition of the equilibrium can also now be used in the quantum system because in the quantum system the probabilities and managed or stabilized efficiently. The superpositions and the quantum tunneling can also be understood or determined through the second condition of the equilibrium. For instance, the electrons that can distributed in the conductors, the energy, and the distribution of the electrons can be managed or stabilized by using or following the conditions of the equilibrium.
The second condition of equilibrium can be used in the metastable, in this, the larger or smaller distribution can be managed or stabilized efficiently. For instance, the pencils that we can use can also be balanced on the tip, but if a small disturbance occurs the pencil can fall and distribute the equilibrium state easily.
In the dynamic system, the equilibrium occurs when it follows the second condition of the equilibrium. If we understand the equilibrium of torque then we can analyze or stabilize all control systems or dynamic systems. For instance, the satellites can be moved around their axis, and in the orbit, their stabilization can be managed by following the second condition. Because the second condition of the equilibrium maintained to move in orbit or doesn't allow them to move irregularly in the other orbits.
The advanced topics in which the second condition of equilibrium is used are given there:
Equilibrium in elastic system
Equilibrium in the three-dimension
Multiple forces equilibrium in the system
Some practical examples in which the second condition of equilibrium is used are given there:
Aerospace engineering
Architectures
Building designs

The equilibrium of torque, which is also referred to as the second condition of the equilibrium is the essential or fundamental concept in the dynamics or mechanics in which the system and the object can do the rotational motion. If we can apply the second condition of equilibrium we can stabilize the different applications in daily life or mechanics. In the era of the modern sciences, equilibrium is essential in every system for working properly and for better output efficiency. by understanding this article or post or understanding the second condition of equilibrium it is easy to balance the objects in the physical world and also in the major fields of science.
Hi readers, I hope you are all well. In this post, we discuss the main topic, equilibrium. Equilibrium can play a fundamental role in the modern and different fields of science. In physics, engineering, or also in chemistry the concept of equilibrium describes and provides information about forces that can be applied to the system. In physics, the equilibrium describes the balanced forces and the torque that can be acted on the system or the body. if the body is at rest or in a motion state, equilibrium explains and provides information about the forces that can act in both types of situations persons.
Equilibrium plays a vital role in understanding the forces and the torque because equilibrium provides stability to the system, also it stabilizes the person who is in the state of rest or motion because in both conditions forces always act on it, so for their stabilization equilibrium plays an essential role.
In this post, we can discuss the equilibrium definitions, their types, first equilibrium condition, second equilibrium condition, mathematical expressions, their applications, examples, and related phenomena.
Equilibrium can be defined as:
"The state in which the body is in the state of balance, or the body is in the state of motion or rest with uniform velocity and no net change occurs on it."
Simply equilibrium is a state in which the system or the body is at the condition of balance under the action of forces but there is no net change occurring. Every system achieves equilibrium at some conditions because, without an equilibrium state, the system or the object can't do its work properly.
There are two main types of equilibrium which are common and they are given there:
Mechanical equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium
Their description is given there:
Mechanical equilibrium is the main type of equilibrium and it can be defined as:
In the system or an object mechanical equilibrium occurs when there is no force, torque net force, or acceleration acting on the object or the system.
Mechanical equilibrium occurs during the state of motion mostly. Mechanical equilibrium can be divided into two types which are also the main types of equilibrium and they are given below:
Static equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium
These are the further divisions of the mechanical equilibrium Details are given there:
Static equilibrium can be defined as:
"static equilibrium can achieved by the body when the body is at rest and all forces which can act on the body including torque and acceleration sum is equal to zero."
Dynamic equilibrium can be defined as:
"Dynamic equilibrium can be achieved by the body when the body moves with a constant velocity and the all forces and torque which can be acted on the body their sum is equal to zero."
Thermal equilibrium can be defined as:
"The two objects or the two or more systems can achieve the state of thermal dynamics when no exothermic or endothermic heat exchange occurs and with some condition or time both systems can be reached to the same temperature.”
These are the major types of equilibrium but the types of equilibrium in physics are given there:
The types of equilibrium in physics with their uses and examples are given there:
Dynamic equilibrium
Radiative equilibrium
Thermal equilibrium
Static equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium
Their detailed definitions, mathematical expressions, formulas, and examples are given there:
Dynamic equilibrium can be achieved by the body when the body moves with a constant velocity and all forces and torque which can be acted on the body their sum are equal to zero. In dynamic equilibrium all forces which can be acted on the object are balanced. Mostly dynamic equilibrium can be used to understand or determine the objects that can be moved without acceleration.
As we know in dynamic equilibrium the all forces sum is equal to 0 then it can be written as:
F = 0
Or the sum of torque is also equal to zero, hence it can be written as:
𝛕 = 0
The body or object can be rotated around its axis with uniform angular velocity and no acceleration can be calculated or measured and all sum of forces that can be acted are 0
The car that can be moved with uniform linear velocity on a straight road, and not change their speed then the force which can be acted to maintain the road friction or air friction can be produced through the driving force which can be produced through the engines.
The paratrooper can also fly in the sky due to the dynamic equilibrium which stabilizes them to fly in the sky efficiently.
The airplane can also fly with a state of dynamic equilibrium because it can fly with constant speed and the weight and thrust force can balance the drag force by balancing their forces it can fly efficiently.
Radiative equilibrium is the state that can be achieved by the system or the object by absorbing the radiation or emitting the radiation at the same time and rate through equal emitting and absorbing radiation of the system and the object can achieved the dynamic equilibrium state efficently.
Rate of absorption of radiation = rate of emission of radiation
Stars can also maintain their lifecycle phase by emitting or absorbing radiation and achieving radioactive equilibrium. the stars produce energy through the nuclear fusion reaction and it can also radiate the absorbing energy into space and maintain gain radiative equilibrium.
The temperature or radiation can come from the sun and is maintained in the earth by radiative equilibrium because the earth absorbs all solar radiation and emits infrared radiation on the surface of the earth.
The two objects or two or more systems can achieve the state of thermal dynamics when no exothermic or endothermic heat exchange occurs and with some condition or time, both systems can reach the same temperature. thermal equilibrium concepts are essential in thermodynamics and also in their laws.
The temperature of the object and the system that can achieve the thermal equilibrium can represented through the symbol T.
No heat exchange occurs in the system when they achieve the thermal equilibrium then it can be written as:
T1 = T2 = T3=........ = Tn
For the two metal spoons, one is cold or the other is hot but if we check after some time then it can be observed that both metal spoons have the same temperature because both of them achieve thermal equilibrium.
If we leave the hot cup of tea or coffee in the room or open environment, then after some time we can observe that the hot cup of tea or coffee temperature becomes equal to the room or environment temperature,
static equilibrium can achieved by the body when the body is at rest and all forces that can act on the body including torque and acceleration sum are equal to zero. In the static equilibrium state, the object always remains at rest so that's why the static equilibrium can be used to determine or understand those objects that can't move and always remain at rest. Simply static means rest so static equilibrium can only achieved by those objects or systems that can't be moved.
As we know in static equilibrium the all forces sum is equal to 0 then it can be written as:
F = 0
F represents the sum of all forces that can be acted on the body or object.
Or the sum of torque is also equal to zero, hence it can be written as:
𝛕 = 0
𝛕 represents the sum of all torques that can be acted on the body or object.
The book can be lying on the table or at rest, then the forces that can be acted on the table are maintained or normalized through the gravitational force that can be acted on the book which is lying on the table
The bridge that can be used for traffic is always in a static state, then it can maintain its static equilibrium by balancing the forces and the weight or load that act on the bridge.
In chemical reactions, chemical equilibrium can be achieved, when the forward and the reverse reaction rates are the same under the same conditions, and when the concentration of the products and the reactants can't be changed during the reaction then this state can be achieved. Mostly in chemistry, the chemical equilibrium can be used to determine or understand the concentration of reaction but in physics sometimes it can be used.
The rate of forward reaction = the rate of reverse reaction
The solution of the salt becomes in the equilibrium or saturation state when the rate of salt dissolution is equal to the rate of precipitation. But if we can provide the temperature to the solution of salt then we can change their equilibrium state also.
When we close the container in which hydrogen iodide solution is present, then this solution can achieve the equilibrium state easily because, in the closed container, we can't change the conditions and can't change the temperature or concentration of the reactant and product amount.
Two main conditions are essential for achieving the equilibrium state. If the object and the system can't follow these two main conditions then it can't achieve the equilibrium state. The two conditions for the equilibrium state are given there:
The first condition of equilibrium ( equilibrium of forces)
A second condition of equilibrium ( equilibrium of torque
Details of the first condition of equilibrium are given there:
The first condition of equilibrium is also known or referred to as the equilibrium of forces because in this condition all forces that act on the body or the object must equal to zero. If the system or the object can't follow this condition then it never can achieve the equilibrium state.
The first condition of equilibrium or the equilibrium of forces can be defined as:
The sum of all vector forces that can act on the object or any system externally is always equal or must equal to zero. Mathematically it can be written as:
F = 0
This equation proves or shows that the sum of all forces is equal to zero so that is why the object that is at rest or motion has not been accelerated because the object is in a uniform state of motion or the rest.
If the system which can follow the first condition of equilibrium to achieve the state of equilibrium can lie in the two dimensions then it can be written as:
Fx = 0
This equation or formula represented the sum of all forces in the x direction.
Fy = 0
This equation or formula represented the sum of all forces in the y direction.
Both equations can be used in the two dimension system. But if we balanced the three-dimensional system then the forces are directed on three axes x, y, and z and it can be written as:
Fx = 0
This equation or formula represented the sum of all forces in the x direction.
Fy = 0
This equation or formula represented the sum of all forces in the y direction.
Fz = 0
This equation or formula represented the sum of all forces in the z-direction.
If the forces that can be acted on the object or system are taken in the right direction then these forces are positive.
If the forces that can be acted on the object or system are taken in the left direction then these forces are positive.
If the forces that can be acted on the object or system are taken in the upward direction then these forces are positive.
If the forces that can be acted on the object or system are taken in the downward direction then these forces are positive.
If the forces that can be acted on the object or system are common in plane then these forces are termed as the coplanar.
All stationary and static systems can be analyzed or understood through the first condition of equilibrium. The branch of mechanics in physics, the concept of equilibrium can be discussed in statics principle in which we can deal with or study the forces that can act on a stationary system or object. The equilibrium of forces is fundamentally used for understanding or analyzing the
Structural analysis
Mechanical analysis or designs
Everyday applications
Every day we can use many different objects in which the equilibrium can be seen. In common conditions like hanging the objects and placing different things one by one or balancing them. In hanging or balancing things can be done by the equilibrium so we can also understand the equilibrium interactions in our daily life.
In engineering or physics, we can understand the structures of the system through which the balance can be maintained like the bridges, roads, and buildings that can carry the load stabilized due to the equilibrium condition by balancing the all forces which can act upon it.
Ensuring the stability of buildings, bridges, and other structures under various loads.
In the field of mechanics, equilibrium conditions can be followed to design the efficient machine or their designs. In designing the machines the components are chosen that can stand with the forces that can act upon it and maintain them efficiently at the rest or in motion also.
The equilibrium in the static sign can be hung on the wall.
Let us consider the sign that we can hang on the wall with two ropes so they have different angles. The angle that can be made by the ropes during hanging is approximately 30° or 45°. The weight of the sign that can be hanged is 100N. Now we can find or determine the tension that can be produced in ropes for balancing the sign on the wall.
Now let the T1 tension for the first rope which can make an angle of 45° and T2 the tension for the second rope which can make an angle of 55°. For achieving the equilibrium state all forces that can act on the sign in the x and y direction, their sum is must be equal to 0.
The forces that can act in the x direction:
T1 cos (30) = T2 cos (45)
The forces which can act on the y direction:
T1 sin ( 30) + T2 sin ( 45) = 100
Now we can solve both of these equations and write as:
T1 cos (30) = T2 cos (45)
T1 32 = T2 12
And then it can be written as:
T1 = T2 23 12
Then,
T1 = T2 26
T1 = T2 23 ……. (i) equation
Now we can solve the equation in which force can be acted in the direction of y and it can be written as;
T1 sin ( 30) + T2 sin ( 45) = 100
T1 12 + T2 22 = 100
Now we can put the value of T1 in the given equation and write it as:
(T2 23 ) 12 + T2 22 = 100
T2 (23 . 12 + 22 ) =100
Then,
T2 ( 22 3 + 22) =100
T2 ( 2 (1 + 3)23) = 100
T2 = 200 32 (1 + 3)
Then,
T2 = 73. 2 N
Equilibrium of forces or the first condition of equilibrium can be used in many different fields because it can help to describe the forces or to maintain the system some applications of equilibrium of forces are given there:
Structural engineering
Everyday situations
Mechanical systems
In the field of engineering, where bridges buildings, and many other machines can be designed their equilibrium of forces is essentially used because it can ensure that the design or the components we can use have the ability to carry the load to maintain their balance. And can't collapse or be destroyed due to the imbalance of force or weight. Engineers study or examine whether the components that they can use are efficient or attain equilibrium efficiently or not.
Example:
The engineer can design the bridge through which the traffic can be passed, they use the best components and materials that can manage the forces carry the load efficiently, and attain the equilibrium state without deforming or collapsing.
Every day we can use many different objects in which the equilibrium can be seen. In common conditions like hanging the objects and placing different things one by one or balancing them. In hanging or balancing things can be done by the equilibrium so we can also understand the equilibrium interactions in our daily life.
Example:
When we hang the pictures or any sign on the wall with ropes then the ropes can manage the tension and all forces that can be acted on them and stabilize them to hang the wall without falling. The all forces which can be acted on the ropes and the sign or picture their sum are always equal to zero. And after neutralizing the forces they can achieve stabilization or equilibrium.
In the field of mechanics, equilibrium conditions can be followed to design the efficient machine or their designs. In designing the machines the components are chosen that can stand with the forces that can act upon it and maintain them efficiently at the rest or in motion also. In the mechanical field, engineers choose the components very precisely to maintain the equilibrium state.
Examples:
When engineers make heavy machines or vehicles like cranes then they check or ensure that the forces that can be acted on the crane arm or the load that can be placed on it are capable of bearing it or not. After ensuring these components' ability they can be allowed to use it or made efficient and heavy machinery.
In the modern era of science and technology, the equilibrium of forces can be used in many new fields according to their need. Some new topics in which the equilibrium of forces can be used are given there:
Equilibrium in elastic system
Equilibrium in three-dimension
Equilibrium in the system with friction
In the elastic system, the equilibrium can be used because when we stretch the spring it can be restored and maintained by balancing the forces that can be acted on it. Equilibrium is essential in all systems and objects because without equilibrium the system can't work properly.
In two dimensions equilibrium can easily attained but now in three dimensions equilibrium must attained by balancing the forces and using the best components in it. For instance, cranes and the tripod or the tables can stand in equilibrium and manage the forces acting upon it in the three dimensions x, y, and z efficiently.
In equilibrium problems, friction can play a vital role. Because when the system interacts with the surface it is obvious that friction can be produced so when we calculate the system's net force for their equilibrium the force of friction can also be calculated because sometimes, friction is the restriction in attaining the equilibrium set. For instance, if we place a block on the surface or the plane then if we want to stabilize the block at the right position it is a must to calculate the all forces that can act on the block along with the force of friction.
Some practical examples in which the equilibrium of forces are commonly used to maintain their work or maintain their output efficiency or control on them are given there:
Robotics
Automotive engineering
Architecture
Building designing
Aerospace engineering
In the era of modern science and technology, the first condition of equilibrium can play a fundamental role in different fields like physics, mechanics, chemicals, or engineering because it can provide basic information and help to understand all static systems and objects efficiently. By understanding this condition of equilibrium we can achieve the system balanced without producing the error or acceleration. Through their application in many new fields, we can easily understand them because this condition of equilibrium can be used in our daily life situations. The equilibrium of forces is easy to understand because in this the sum of forces is always equal to zero or the forces include the normal force, gravitational force, or maybe the frictional force. But with time it can be more commonly used in the field of science. Equilibrium of forces is the fundamental concept in the field of static or dynamics
Hi readers, I hope you are all well. In the previous articles, we discussed different basic physics topics like vectors and others and now we can discuss the major topic torque in this article. Torque can also be called the rotational force or moment of the force. In physics, mechanics, and engineering torque plays a vital role and has a fundamental concept in these fields. Torque is essential to understand or describe the ability of the force of the object to rotate around its axis. The object moves with the linear force but when the object moves around its axis, some pivot point, or the fulcrum with some force then this rotational force of the object is termed as the torque.
The word torque is derived from the Latin word "torquere" which means turning or twisting. Torque describes both magnitude and direction so that is why it is a vector quantity because only vector quantities describe both magnitude and direction. Rotational dynamics The branch of dynamics can be understood through torque because the rotational force of the object is only described through torque. Torque can be represented through the symbol 𝛕. Torque can also be represented through the M. Now we can start our detailed discussion about torque, its definition, relation with other quantities, their mathematical expression, significance, applications, examples, and many other phenomena.
The idea and concept of the torque was presented by the Archimedes. The use of the lever instrument was studied by the Archmedies and when they studied them then the idea of torques was first described by him. But the term or word torque was first advised by the great scientist James Thomson. Then the experiment was done by scientist P. Thompson in the same year when the idea was described and the experiment was written in the Dynomo electric machinery book in their first edition in the 18th century, 1884.
After this, the great and famous scientist Newton can present or describe the force through which the body moves. So according to their definition when the linear force acts on the moving object and any twist occurs around their axis and changes the force of the body from linear to rotation then it is termed as the torque. For instance, the screwdriver always rotates around its axis As another example of torque the seesaw swing which can be off and on on the groping due to the imbalance of the torque.
Now torque can be used or referred to in many different fields of science to understand the rotation force of a body at the given pivot point or around its axis. Mainly the concept of the moment of force can be described in the early 18th century in 1811, but it can print in the late 18th century and the then torque is also referred to as the moment of force, and the rotational force.
Torque can be defined as:
"the body which can move around their axis with the turning force which can be produced by the body is known as torque."
Torque can also defined as:
The magnitude of the perpendicular distance of the body from the axis of the rotation or the magnitude of the force, product of these both magnitudes are termed as the torque or moment of force:
The torque of the moment of force can also be defined as:
"the cross or the vector product of the radius or the position vector r and the vector force F".
Torque can be written in mathematical form as:
𝛕 = r F
There,
𝛕 represented the torque and the magnitude of the torque was represented through 𝛕.
r represented the position vector and the magnitude of the position vector is represented through the r. position vector is the distance which can be measured by the torque through the point where the force is applied to the axis of rotation.
F represents the force and the magnitude of the force is represented through the F.and the force is perpendicular to the position vector r and represented by the symbol ⊥ .
The magnitude of the torque can be written as:
𝛕 = r F sin
There,
𝛕 denotes the magnitude of the torque.
r denotes the magnitude of the position vector.
denotes the cross or the vector product between the two vectors
F denotes the magnitude of the force.
θ is the angle that is present between the position vector and the force, both of these are the vector quantities.
The direction of the torque can be represented or described through the right-hand rule. Because this rule can efficiently represent the direction of both of these vectors r and the F. According to the right-hand rule, the thumb can represent the torque 𝛕 which is the product of two different vector quantities, then the fingers of the right hand represent the direction of the position vector r and the curl fingers represent the direction of force F.
Torque can depend on the two major factors which are given there:
Moment arm
Magnitude of the force
Both of these factors are the major factors that can directly affect the torque. The moment arm is simply defined as the perpendicular distance of the body from the line of action to the axis of rotation. And these measurements of the moment arm with the force are simply termed the torque.
The torque can show the relationship with many other physical quantities like power, angular momentum, and energy. Mathematical derivation which can show the relationship of torque with other quantities in detail is given there:
The term torque can also be described or understood by using the law of conservation of energy. Because when the body moves with some force then it can cover some distance so they are the mechanical work that can be done by the body. In the angular displacement when the torque acts then the body is in the condition of doing work. The turning force acts on the body around its axis which is fixed with the center of mass so that's why mathematically work with torque can be expressed or written as:
W = θ1θ2 𝛕 d θ
There,
W represented the work that is done by torque.
𝛕 represents the torque through work that can be done
d is the angular displacement in which the torque or turning force can be acted
θ1 or they θ2 are the angle between the initial angular displacement point to the final angular displacement point.
Work energy principal:
The torque can show the relation with the energy or the work according to tyo the work-energy principle in which the work or energy can be changed into rotational kinetic energy on the body and it can be represented or written as:
Er = 12 I ω2
There,
Er represent the rotational kinetic energy
I represented the inertia of the body
ω2represented the angular speed of the body through which they can cover the angular momentum.
Power can also defined in the form of energy or work with unit joule. but the relation of the power with torque is the work that can be done in the unit of time and it can be written as:
P = 𝛕 ω
There,
P represents power.
𝛕 represents the torque.
ω represents the angular velocity through which the body does work.
represented the dot or the scalar product between the two vector quantities torque and angular velocity.
According to this mathematical expression or equation, it can be shown that the torque and the angular velocity scalar or dot product can give the output of the power. the torque in the relationship of the power was dependent upon the angular velocity or the speed. But the torque does not depend on the velocity decreased or maybe increased but it only depends upon the angular velocity. The force also depends upon the velocity of the object on the acceleration or the speed.
The work that can be done on the body when the random variable force acts on the body in the liner displacement or the force which can act on the body with the respect of elemental displacement then it can be written as:
W = s1s2 F . ds ……. (i) equation
There,
S1 and S2 are the initial and the final linear displacements that can be covered by the object during the work.
F represented the force
ds represented the elemental linear displacement.
So,
The elemental displacement ds are also equal to the cross or vector product of the radius and the angular displacement and written as:
ds = d θ r
There,
r represented the radius
d θ represented the angular momentum
Now put the value of the ds in the equation (i)
W = s1s2 F . d θ r
Now as shown in the equation the triple scalar product integers are shown and it can be also written as:
F . d θ r = F r . d θ
If we know that the radius or the angular momentum with force is equal to the torque then it can be written as:
W = s1s2 𝛕. d θ
But if both quantities, torque and angular momentum can lie in the same direction then the angle between them is cos, and their magnitude can be written as the:
= 𝛕. d θ
= r . d θ cos0
= 𝛕 d θ
Then it can be written as:
W = s1s2 𝛕 d θ
Angular momentum which can be acted on the body can be determined through the torque that can act on it and it can be written as:
𝛕 = dLdt
There,
𝛕 represented the torque
L represents the angular momentum
And the t represented the time with the displacement.
Or the angular momentum is also equal to the inertia of the moment and the angular speed and it can be written as:
L = I ω
I represented the moment of inertia and the w represented the angular speed.
And the moment of inertia I is also equal or written as:
I = m r2
Then the total net torque can be written as:
𝛕net = I1w1e1 + I2w2e2 + I3w3e3 + I1w1 de1dt + I2w2 de2dt + I3w3de3dt
𝛕net= Iw + w (Iw)
Then it can also be written as:
deidt = w ei
This equation can be used for newtons law but in some problems, there are only inertia and angular momentum then in a simple way, we can write them as the:
𝛕 = I a
There,
𝛕 represented the torque, I represented the inertia, and the a = w represented the angular velocity or the speed.
This equation can also be called the Newton's second law.
Simply, the angular momentum for a single particle can be defined or written as:
L = r p
There,
L represented the angular momentum of the single particle
r represented the position vector
p represented the linear momentum of the single particle.
But when we can write the angular momentum for time then mathematically it can be written as:
dLdt = dpdt r + drdt p
As shown in the given mathematical equation when we can split the equation into its components and then we can use the product rule of vector because the force is represented the rate of change in the momentumdpdt and the drdt change in the position of the quantity is represented through the velocity symbol v. then it can be written as:
dLdt= F r + v p
There,
V represented the velocity and the F represented the force. Now as shown in the given equation both vector quantities velocity v and the angular momentum p are parallel to each other so they are equal to zero 0 and it can be written as:
dLdt= F r
Now as shown in the given mathematical equation force and the position vector are equal to the torque and when we apply the Newton law then it can be written as:
𝛕net = dLdt= F r
Now through this equation, it can be proved that the torque has a significant relationship with the angular momentum of the single particle. This mathematical equation is the generalized proof of the torque and the angular momentum along the mass.
The units, symbols, and the dimensions of the torque are given there:
For the quantity torque, many units can be used but some major units that can used to express the torque are given there:
Nm ( newton meter)
Dyn . cm ( dyne - centimeter) This unit can be used in the CSG system to express the torque.
Pound foot represented by ( Ibf- ft)
Pound inch, this unit can be used to measure the small torque measurements and represented by ( Ibf- in).
Foot-pound can be represented through Ib- ft.
Like the foot-pound, the torque can also be represented through inch-pound and represented through the in-Ib.
The SI unit of the torque can be written as:
kg . m2 . s-2 ( kilogram meter square per second square)
Dimension of the unit torque is written as:
ML2T-2
Torque can be calculated and depends upon some major factors but some major formulas that are used to calculate the torque for the single force and for the multiple force are given there:
When a single force applies or acts on the body with some distance from their fixed axis of rotation, and the force that acts on the body is perpendicular to the position vector r, then the torque can be written as:
𝛕 = r F
But if the force is not perpendicular to the position vector r then it can be written as:
𝛕 = r F sin θ
there,
θ can represent the angle between the force and the position vector.
When the multiple forces act on the body or object then the torque can be calculated through their vector sum and written as:
𝛕net = 𝛕i
There,
𝛕net represented the total sum of the torque that can act on the body with multiple forces.
and,
𝛕i = ri Fi
Now we can calculate the torque that can act on the rigid body.
As shown in the figure, let us consider the rigid body. According to this figure, the force F acts on the object at the point p, r is the position vector according to the point p, and the angle between the force and the position vector r is represented through the Now we can calculate their torque by their resolution.
In the above figure, we can see the components of the vector according to the rectangular components and then it can be written as:
F cos θ = this is the component of the force in the rectangular component which can act in the direction of the position vector r.
F sin θ = this is the component of the force in the rectangular component which can be perpendicular to the position vector r.
As shown in the above equation, the F cos θ and their line of action can pass through the point O, and this rectangular component due to the line of action becomes zero 0. So that is why the force that can be acted on the body is equal to the F sin θ which can produce the torque and it can be written as:
𝛕 = r( F sin θ)
𝛕 = r F sin θ
Or when we can write with their magnitude or in vector form then it is as:
𝛕 = r F sin θ n
Also, it can be written as:
𝛕 = r F
After the component of force then we can write the rectangular component of the position vector r. It can be written there as:
r cos θ = the component of the position vector r along with the direction of the force.
r sin θ = the component of the position vector r perpendicular to the vector force F.
When the torque is produced due to the force, in this case, we can write the torque as:
𝛕 = l F
there,
L is equal to the moment arm and it can be written as:
l = moment arm = r sin θ
So it can be written as
𝛕 = ( r sin θ) F
𝛕 = r F sin θ
In the magnitude of the vector form it can be written as:
𝛕 = r F sin θ n
Also, it can be written as:
𝛕 = r F
A wrench ( spanner) is used to tighten the nut. The spanner moves around its axis of rotation with some force so it can produce the torque.
The swing seesaw can move up and down on the ground due to the imbalance of the torque because its center is fixed so it can move at the line of action and produce the imbalance torque.
For the rotational motion of the body, torque is the major or counterpart of the force that can act on the moving object.
The body can be moved through the linear motion and the angular motion in which force can be acted, the force is the same as the torque.
The linear acceleration can be described or determined through force and the angular acceleration can be determined or described through the torque.
The torque will be positive if the rotational motion of the object occurs in the anti-clockwise direction, and the torque will be negative if the rotational motion of the object occurs in the clockwise direction.
Torque can play a very fundamental role in many different fields some of their applications in different fields with detail are given there:
Robotics
Mechanical system
Sports and biomechanics
Structural engineering
Their detail is given there:
Torque plays a vital role in the robotic system. Because by the help or understanding of the torque the movement of the robots through their arms or joints is controlled efficiently. Torque helps to determine or describe the force that can act on the joints of the robot through which they can do rotational motion and help to control all movements of the robots precisely or efficiently.
Actuators: actuators are the systems in the robots that can convert the energy to the motion through which the robots can be moved. The functions of the robots are controlled efficiently through the torque. Torque also helps to choose the best and appropriate systems and actuators for making the robotic system accurate or precise.
Robotic arm: the joints are moved through the rotational force which is torque so that's why all joints or arms of the robot have some specific torque value through which they can move or complete their specific movement efficiently.
In the field of mechanics which is the branch of physics, torque are fundamental concept for designing engines or gears, and turbines or generators. Because in these given systems the engines can work with some force which is termed as torque and it can be moved or run through the rotational motion, the efficacy and the output of these systems can be measured also through torque.
Gear system: the efficient and precise gear system can be designed by determining the torque because the torque can be transmitted to the near components through which the system can run efficiently.
Engines: in the mechanical system the engine's efficiency and ability can be determined through the torque. Because the torque describes the ability and the capacity of the engine's acceleration and the capacity to carry the load. So to make efficient and design efficient engines torque can be used.
Torque can play an essential role or help to determine or analyze the movements of the human joints because the joints can do rotational motion. Through torque athletic performance can also be improved or managed. Torque also helps to understand which muscles can apply the force on the joint to do movements and through which muscle we can control the movement and prevent injury chances.
Injury prevention: by understanding the torque detail we can design the many equipment that can help to decrease the risk of injury and also prevent the human or athlete from injury. Torque also helps to understand which muscles can apply the force on the joint to do movements and through which muscle we can control the movement and prevent injury chances.
Athletic performance: the torque is produced by the muscle and these forces act on the joint through the movements that occur, by understanding the muscles that produce torque helps to improve performance, and with training the athlete can maintain or improve their skills efficiently.
The structure stability and the system ability can be determined through the torque. In structural engineering, bridges, buildings, and other designs are made after understanding the torque because it can help to understand the ability of the object to carry the load.
Bridges: when the engineers are designed to make the bridges they determine the torque because it can help them to find or observe whether the bridges can carry the load and are safe to use or not.

In the era of modern science, torque plays a fundamental role in simplifying complex problems efficiently. After understanding and reading their definition, and mathematical relationship with other physical quantities we can achieve great knowledge about this ubiquitous force that plays an essential role in the physical world.
As global transportation systems evolve, the debate over the most sustainable and cost-effective modes of rail travel intensifies. Electric and diesel railway systems represent two dominant technologies, each with distinct advantages and challenges.
In this article, we’ll look at the electric vs diesel locomotive debate by comparing the two in terms of their operational efficiency, financial implications, and environmental footprints.
With a deeper understanding of how they differ from one another, you can gain critical insights about their viability and the future of rail transport overall.
Let’s discuss in detail how each railway type compares according to these aspects:
When evaluating efficiency to generate answers amid the electric vs diesel locomotive debate, we need to look at three key factors: energy consumption, acceleration capabilities, and operational maintenance.
Energy Consumption
Electric railway systems are generally more energy-efficient than their diesel counterparts. Electric trains convert electrical energy into motion with a higher efficiency rate—often exceeding 90%. Additionally, electric trains can benefit from regenerative braking, which allows them to return energy to the grid when slowing down, further enhancing their efficiency.
In contrast, diesel engines typically operate at about 30-40% efficiency, primarily due to the energy losses associated with fuel combustion and mechanical conversion.
Acceleration
Electric trains are known for their superior acceleration capabilities. They can reach higher speeds more quickly than diesel trains, making them ideal for high-speed rail services and urban transit systems. This rapid acceleration is particularly advantageous in commuter rail scenarios, where frequent stops and starts are common.
Diesel trains, while capable of sustaining high speeds, often take longer to reach their peak performance due to the inherent limitations of their engines.
Operational Flexibility
While electric railway systems shine in terms of efficiency on electrified lines, diesel offers operational flexibility in regions where electrification is economically unfeasible. Diesel locomotives can operate on non-electrified tracks, making them a versatile choice for mixed-use rail networks. This flexibility allows for a more extensive reach in rural or less densely populated areas where infrastructure investments in electrification may not be justifiable.
Maintenance
Electric trains generally require less maintenance than diesel locomotives, primarily because they have fewer moving parts and do not rely on complex combustion systems. Besides, some parts of electric trains are out of reach of people who can easily destroy and vandalize. Overhead catenary system components like the cantilever and the contact wire, for instance, are suspended above the electric train railway tracks, unlike the key parts of a diesel train that are on the ground.
This reduced need for maintenance in electric trains can lead to lower downtime and higher overall availability, further enhancing their operational efficiency.
When comparing these two types of railway systems in terms of cost, we need to look at how they fare in terms of:
Initial Capital Investment
The upfront capital costs for electric railway systems can be substantially higher than those for diesel systems. Electrifying a railway line involves significant infrastructure investments, including the installation of overhead wires or trackside electrification equipment, substations, and signal systems. These costs can be prohibitive for engineering companies , especially in regions where rail networks are underdeveloped.
Conversely, diesel locomotives require lower initial investments, as they can operate on existing tracks without the need for electrification, making them more accessible for regions with budget constraints or limited rail infrastructure.
Operational Costs
Once operational, though, electric trains often demonstrate lower variable costs. The price of electricity is typically more stable and can be cheaper than diesel fuel, especially as renewable power sources become more prevalent. Additionally, electric trains benefit from lower maintenance costs due to fewer moving parts and the absence of complex engine systems.
On the other hand, diesel locomotives face higher fuel costs and more frequent maintenance requirements, which can lead to increased operational expenditures over time.
Subsidies and Incentives
Government policies and subsidies also influence the cost landscape. Many governments like the United States are increasingly promoting electrification as part of their sustainability goals, leading to grants and incentives that can alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with electric railway development. The Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit, for instance, incentivizes renewable energy production, with additional bonuses to eco-projects that also leverage manufacturing materials that are sourced domestically or are in energy communities. These are communities that traditionally relied on fossil fuel-related jobs.
Diesel railway systems, while less capital-intensive initially, may face higher operating costs in the future due to potential regulations aimed at reducing emissions.
The environmental impact of electric and diesel railway systems is a critical consideration as societies strive for sustainable transportation solutions. Let’s look at the electric vs railway locomotive debate from this perspective by analyzing each type in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, energy sources, and noise pollution.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Electric railway systems have a distinct advantage in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. While the manufacturing and construction phases of electric systems can produce emissions, the operational phase is significantly cleaner. Electric trains can reduce carbon emissions by up to 70% compared to diesel, especially in regions with green energy integration.
In contrast, diesel trains emit considerable amounts of CO2 and other pollutants during operation, contributing to air quality degradation and climate change.
Energy Sources
The environmental benefits of electric railway systems heavily depend on the energy mix used for electricity generation. In areas where coal or fossil fuels dominate the energy landscape, the emissions associated with electric trains can still be substantial. However, as the global shift toward renewable energy accelerates, the environmental footprint of electric railways is expected to diminish further.
Diesel trains, relying solely on fossil fuels, on the other hand, face increasing scrutiny as the world moves toward decarbonization.
Noise Pollution
Electric trains are generally quieter than diesel locomotives, particularly at lower speeds. The absence of a combustion engine allows electric trains to operate with less operational noise, which is beneficial for urban environments and communities near rail lines.
Diesel trains, however, produce significant noise from both their engines and the mechanical vibrations associated with rail travel, which can impact quality of life for nearby residents.
Land Use and Habitat Disruption
Both systems can impact land use and ecosystems during construction and operation. However, railway electrification can often minimize additional land disruption. Diesel railway systems might require less initial infrastructure but can still contribute to habitat fragmentation through their operational footprint.
Diesel locomotives, while offering initial cost advantages and operational flexibility, generally have higher long-term costs and a more significant environmental footprint. Electric railway systems, meanwhile, are better in terms of efficiency and environmental impact than diesel.
But as the global community places even more premium on environmental protection, they’ll rely even more on clean energy as their source of power and find more ways to reduce their carbon footprint. That means that while the electric vs diesel locomotive debate still continues, electric vehicles including railway systems that rely on clean energy are expected to dominate the landscape in the future.
Smart cities aim to improve urban life by leveraging modern technology to create efficient, responsive, and sustainable environments. A critical element in enabling these advanced systems is connectivity.
Smart cities strongly rely on high-speed and reliable Internet infrastructure for the Internet of Things (IoT), industrial systems, and other digital services.
One of the most effective solutions for smart city connectivity is Metro Ethernet. Metro Ethernet presents an effective solution for smart city connectivity. No wonder the market size is projected to reach $113300.89 million by 2031 at a rapid annual growth rate of 10.7%.
With metro ethernet connections, smart cities have the robust, flexible, and scalable network that they need to thrive.
This article explores the role of metro ethernet in supporting smart cities, its benefits, and why it's the right choice for enhancing IoT and industrial systems.
Metro Ethernet is a network that connects users within a metropolitan area through ethernet technology, which is commonly used in local area networks (LANs). However, when applied at a larger scale, Metro Ethernet provides city-wide or even regional connectivity.
There are different types of Metro Ethernet services based on how they are structured:
E-line is a point-to-point connection that links two locations. It's like having a direct, private link between two sites, allowing for secure, high-speed data transfer.
E-Line can be used in smart cities to connect specific systems like traffic control centers, energy management hubs, or emergency response centers, ensuring real-time, secure communication between critical locations.
This is a point-to-multipoint network, where one location (like a central data center) connects to multiple sites (like smaller city branches).
As seen above, the E-tree model is often used in IoT systems where sensors and devices report back to a central hub.
E-LAN is a multipoint-to-multipoint network, allowing multiple sites to connect as if they are on the same LAN.
E-LAN is particularly useful for smart cities where various systems, like traffic control and energy management, need to communicate across different locations.
E-Access provides wholesale connectivity between different networks. It enables one service provider to extend its network reach by connecting to another provider's network through a standardized Ethernet interface. This service is useful in situations where a provider needs to offer Ethernet services in locations where they don't have direct infrastructure.
Each of these Metro Ethernet services can be adapted to suit the needs of different smart city applications, offering a range of options depending on the size and scale of the deployment.
Metro Ethernet operates similarly to the traditional Ethernet technology used in offices and homes, but it is scaled up to provide connectivity over large distances, often spanning entire cities.
Metro Ethernet creates a high-speed , wide-area network that connects multiple locations within a city or region. With this, businesses and organizations to connect their various offices or sites as if they were on the same local network, even if they're physically far apart.
Metro Ethernet supports various services like internet access, voice over IP (VoIP), file sharing, and private line connections. The technology uses switches and routers to direct traffic efficiently across the network, ensuring data reaches its intended destination quickly and securely.
Here’s a simple illustration of how a typical metro ethernet works:
Metro Ethernet is managed by a service provider that maintains the infrastructure and ensures the network's performance.
In smart cities, connectivity is critical. IoT devices like sensors, cameras, and meters generate massive amounts of data that need to be processed and acted upon in real-time. Industrial systems, on the other hand, require reliable, high-speed connections to ensure smooth operations.
Metro Ethernet excels in these areas, offering a range of benefits that make it ideal for smart city applications:
Smart cities rely on real-time data to manage everything from traffic lights to public safety systems. With high-speed Metro Ethernet, these systems can transmit data instantly, ensuring that decisions are made quickly and accurately.
Metro Ethernet offers speeds that can range from 10 Mbps to over 100 Gbps, depending on the needs of the city or business. This high-speed connectivity is essential for IoT devices and industrial systems that generate and consume vast amounts of data.
One of the key advantages of Metro Ethernet is its simplicity. It operates using the same Ethernet protocol that many IT teams are already familiar with, making it easier to manage compared to more complex network architectures.
For smart city administrators, this ease of use means less time spent on troubleshooting and more time focusing on optimizing services like energy distribution, waste management, and public transport systems.
Metro Ethernet is highly flexible, allowing cities to scale their network as needed. This is crucial for smart cities where the number of connected devices is constantly growing. Whether it’s expanding coverage to new areas of the city or addressing the increasing bandwidth demand from more and more devices, Metro Ethernet can easily accommodate these needs.
Also, a smart city network supports a wide variety of critical applications, from low-bandwidth devices like smart meters to high-bandwidth systems like video surveillance. Metro Ethernet can handle this diversity by offering customizable service packages that fit the specific needs of different systems.
While the initial investment in Metro Ethernet infrastructure may seem high, it is generally more cost-effective in the long run. Traditional networks often require expensive hardware upgrades and complex management systems. Metro Ethernet, on the other hand, uses a simpler, more unified approach that reduces both capital and operational expenses.
For smart cities, which need to connect numerous systems across large areas, Metro Ethernet offers an affordable way to maintain a high-performance network without ongoing high costs. Additionally, service providers often offer scalable pricing models, so cities only pay for the bandwidth and services they need.
Metro Ethernet is known for its high reliability. Recent market analysis reveals that 50% of subscribers expect at least 99.99% service availability— and this is what most service providers often offer in service level agreements (SLAs). This level of reliability is critical because city services often need to operate without interruption.
For instance, stable Metro Ethernet connectivity ensures that essential services like emergency response systems are always online or that energy distribution is consistent.
As smart cities grow, so do their connectivity needs. Metro Ethernet can scale easily to accommodate more users, devices, and systems. Whether the city is expanding its smart traffic management systems or adding new IoT devices, there’s room for quick adjustments in bandwidth and service levels.
Also, scalability is particularly important in industrial systems, where data demands can fluctuate depending on the time of day or operational requirements. Metro Ethernet's ability to scale up or down as needed ensures that the network remains efficient and cost-effective.
Metro Ethernet is an essential tool for smart cities looking to enhance their connectivity. Its high-speed, reliable, and scalable nature makes it the perfect choice for supporting the growing number of IoT devices and industrial systems that modern cities rely on.
As smart cities continue to evolve, having a solid network foundation like Metro Ethernet is crucial. It not only ensures that current systems operate efficiently but also provides the flexibility needed to support future innovations.
