Before discussing the gyroscopic effect on naval ships, first let us brief the terminology used in connection with the naval ship. Ship Terminology The front, top, and side views of a naval ship are shown in fig (a), (b) and (c)...
We already know that the angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. It is a vector quantity and can be represented both in magnitude and direction with the help of right hand screw rule. A body rotating in a...
The spring controlled governor of the Wilson Hartnell type is shown in Fig. In this governor, the bell crank levers are pivoted at the ends of two arms which rotate with the spindle. The vertical arms of the bell crank lever...
Figure shows a simplified overview of the database design process. The first step shown is requirements collection and analysis. During this step, the database designers interview prospective database users to understand and...
In this section, we give an overview of the schema evolution commands available in SQL, which can be used to alter a schema by adding or dropping tables, attributes, constraints, and other schema elements. This can be done while...
Governor Arrangement This is the most common type of governor. In the centrifugal type governors, rotation of the crank shaft is taken to a vertical spindle through suitable gears. It consists of two balls of equal mass, which...
Function of Governor The function of a governor is to automatically maintain the speed of an engine within specified limits whenever there is a variation of load. If the load on the engine increases, its speed decreases. So it...
In this section we introduce the concept of a view in SQL. We show how views are specified, and then we discuss the problem of updating views (Virtual Tables) and how views can be implemented by the DBMS. Concept of a View in...
So far, we have discussed the free vibrations of systems where a system once disturbed from its equilibrium position executes vibration indefinitely because of its elastic properties. In actual practice, this system will come to...
