Answer:

a) Explanation below. b) Explanation below

Explanation:

Torque is defined as the product of a force by a radius, while momentum is defined as the product of force by a distance. Mathematically we would have

T = F * r

M = F * d

where:

T = torque = [N*m]

M = moment = [N*m]

F = force =[N]

d = distance [m]

r = radius [m]

Although they have the same units, the difference between them is the application. For the case of torque this is always applied in parts that are in rotation, such as the shafts of cars, the shafts of pumps, torque in gears and etc. While the moment can be applied to a body without the need for it to rotate.

A couple, is as its name suggests a couple of forces of equal magnitude but opposite sense and do not share a line of action. A body under the action of a couple of forces tends to rotate the body without moving it from one point to another.

maxonik [38]
Lo experiences tidal heating primarily because lo’s elliptical orbit causes the tidal force on lo to vary as it orbits the Jupiter. Thus, lo’s elliptical orbit is essential to its tidal heating. This elliptical orbit, in turn, is an end result of the orbital resonance among lo, Europa and ganymade. This orbital resonance origin lo to have a more elliptical orbit than it would because lo intermittently passes Europa and ganymade in the same orbital position. We cannot perceive tidal forces of tidal heating in lo but rather we foresee that they must occur based on the orbital characteristic of the moons and active volcanoes on lo is the observational evidence that tidal heating is significant in lo.

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)
