People Vibration

Overview

Engineering reference data for People Vibration in mechanics.

Key Formulas

Newton's Second Law

$F = ma$

Force = mass × acceleration.

Work

$W = Fd\cos\theta$

Work = force × displacement × cos(angle).

Kinetic Energy

$E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Energy of motion.

Potential Energy

$E_p = mgh$

Gravitational potential energy.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$F$	Force	N
$m$	Mass	kg
$a$	Acceleration	m/s²
$v$	Velocity	m/s
