After more than two decades buzzing around above our heads, the life of the ISS will soon be coming to a close. But what does that actually look like? And what does it mean for the future of space experimentation?

A SciShow Kids viewer wrote us to ask how bridges are strong enough to carry cars and trucks! Jessi and Squeaks can explain -- with blocks!

A perfectly trussed chicken makes one neat, tidy—and tasty!—package. Wrap it up and roast away.

This video introduces soft robots made from flexible materials like plastic tubing, which differ from traditional robots made of metal or wood. These robots, powered by compressed air, demonstrate unique locomotion techniques, such as...

In this video, the tragic loss of the space shuttle Columbia casts a shadow over the entire shuttle program. The crew currently on the International Space Station have supplies to last until June, after which they will have to return to...

This problem involves finding the reaction forces acting on a truss with a 20kN force acting on it.

No examples are done in this video. This really shows you what method of joints and method of sections actually are.

For method joints the usual method is

1) Find all necessary angles and geo
metry
2) Find all react
ion forces
3) Draw a FBD of a joint and

analyze forces

This truss problem looks difficult, but if you choose your...

Method of joints involves analyzing a free body diagram of individual joints.



By assuming the mass of the truss = 0, the friction in the joints = 0 and the external forces act on the joints exclusively, then it can be proven...

Method of joints involves analyzing a free body diagram of an isolated joint and applying the sum of forces = 0.



Step 1: Draw FBD of w
hole truss
Step 2: Find
reaction forces
Step 3: Choose a joint to analyze and...

With not long left until Conservative Members start selecting their new leader, Rishi Sunak looks concerned. He's been behind in the polls for a while now, which means he's starting to make some bigger and more right wing promises to try...

For method of sections:<br/>
1) Draw a FBD of the <br/>whole truss
2) Isolate a section of the truss and draw all the interna<br/>l forces that pop out.
3) Apply sum of forces = 0 and sum of moments = 0

The last month has been utter chaos for Liz Truss, with her Premiership getting off to a disastrous start (and maybe end). So let's outline what's happening for those of you not paying 100% attention, and outline the timeline of how we...

Method of sections is a technique used to find the internal forces in a truss. Draw a FBD of a section of the truss and make cut sections though the members that you wish to analyze. Apply equilibrium equations (sum of forces and sum of...

In this video, the teacher introduces the concept of trusses and their components, focusing on vocabulary and basic concepts. The video covers the different types of supports, members, joints, and forces that make up a truss. The teacher...
