What does a mu mean in physics

Physics
1 answer:
ivolga24 [154]3 years ago
3 0

'mu' is a letter in the Greek alphabet.  It looks like this:  μ
If you need labels for quantities or variables in math or science,
you can use any letter from any alphabet you like ... just be sure
to explain what the symbol stands for somewhere on the page
where the equation or formula is.

I've seen 'mu' used to stand for 'micro-' when writing units.
For example:

" μ-meter " ... one millionth of a meter

" μ-farad " ... one millionth of a farad

" μ-second " ... one millionth of a second

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

Describe an object’s motion when balanced forces act on it
Alinara [238K]

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal
