v² = u² + 2 a s
s = ½ (u + v) t
s = v t − ½ a t²
These equations assume acceleration is constant and motion is in one dimension. For vertical motion under gravity, substitute a = −g.

On an inclined plane, the weight mg is resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the slope: mg sin θ down the plane and mg cos θ normal to the plane.
在斜面上,重力 mg 分解为平行于斜面的分量 mg sin θ 和垂直于斜面的分量 mg cos θ。
The coefficient of friction can be determined from the angle at which a block just begins to slide: μ = tan θ (when motion is impending on an incline).
摩擦系数可以通过物体刚开始滑动时的斜面倾角确定:μ = tan θ(当物体在斜面上即将运动时)。
11. Engineering Mathematics – Vectors and Trigonometry | 工程数学 – 矢量与三角学

12. Dimensional Analysis | 量纲分析
Dimensional analysis uses the base quantities mass (M), length (L) and time (T) to check the consistency of engineering equations.
量纲分析利用基本量质量 (M)、长度 (L) 和时间 (T) 来检验工程方程的一致性。
Common derived dimensions include:
常见的导出量纲包括:
| Velocity, v | [L T⁻¹] |
| Acceleration, a | [L T⁻²] |
| Force, F | [M L T⁻²] |
| Pressure / Stress | [M L⁻¹ T⁻²] |
| Energy / Work / Torque | [M L² T⁻²] |
| Power | [M L² T⁻³] |
| Density, ρ | [M L⁻³] |
| Dynamic viscosity | [M L⁻¹ T⁻¹] |
An equation is dimensionally homogeneous if each term has the same base dimensions. For example, checking s = u t + ½ a t²: both sides give [L], confirming correctness.
如果一个方程各项具有相同的基本量纲,则该方程量纲齐次。例如,检验 s = u t + ½ a t²:左右两边都是 [L],证实正确。
Dimensional analysis can also reveal relationships between physical quantities, though it cannot determine dimensionless constants.
量纲分析还可以揭示物理量之间的关系,但不能确定无量纲常数。
