Skyscrapers, Statics, & Dynamics: Crash Course Engineering #26

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
What if you were on a high floor of a skyscraper and the building started swaying? Today we-ll explore statics and dynamics, and what they mean for the structures we design. We look at the idea of static equilibrium, forces, and torques, and how free body diagrams can help us make sense of it all. Crash Course Engineering is produced in association with PBS Digital Studios: Check out Physics Girl

That -industrious team of engineers- who -managed to save the Citicorp building- were, as you said, the company that that botched the design in the first place, and their actions were made all the less heroic by the fact that they hushed up the information until the repairs were carried out, even when a hurricane almost hit Manhattan while they were halfway done. I know this series likes to glorify the engineering profession but that was a poorly chosen example.

My university combines statics and dynamics into one class. It is notoriously the hardest class at my university. I have my first test in 2 days and am using this as a -I-m kind of studying- distraction. The first test has about an 80% fail rate. Wish me luck.

Love the series. The animations and the pace of everything. That engineer was kind of careless to people living in the building. He knew it was dangerous, but still didn't say anything? He was damn lucky nothing happened during the time.

I thought you should have presented D'ALembert inertial forces and torques for FBD's as saying a dynamics problem can be instantaneously modeled as a static one for each geometry in an instant in time as an alternative way to look at FBDs.

Hi, I wanted to throw out the idea to go back to some biology and make updated videos with current facts (as science changes all the time) and more pictures and diagrams for a better and easier understanding of biology. Thanks!

Love this! I finally understand static and dynamic. I was really struggling in class. Now for some reason it all makes sense. (Not being sarcastic. Really thank you for this episode!

5: 38 The idea shown here isn't a suspension bridge, but a cable-stayed bridge. Should be obvious since nothing is actually -suspended- in that particular concept.

A Civil engineering and a physics student walk 'onto' a bar and soon they talk about -moments- and -torques-. the great confusion ensues!
