Engineering MechanicsD Alembert PrincipleMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
An inertia force opposite to acceleration
B
A pore pressure force in soil
C
A bending moment at every pin joint
D
A chlorine residual
Correct Answer
A. An inertia force opposite to acceleration
Why is this the answer?
Adding inertia force lets dynamic equilibrium be written like static equilibrium.
