Work as an integral of mass over velocity?
As I've understood it, the area under $F$-$s$-graph is the work done, so then :$$W(s)=\int{F(s)ds}$$
I am also given this equation ($W_k$ is kinetic energy, which is equal the work done to set the ...

Displacement with zero velocity
I know that we can rotate a deformable object using internal forces only in space. Thus we can cause an angular displacement without the use of any external forces.
The following youtube video shows ...

Difference between using displacement and current configuration as unknown?
We could use either the current configuration $x$ or the displacement $u$ as unknown while solving for the deformation, for example, of a solid object. I want to know what's the difference between ...

Can planes generate enough force to displace cloud, such that the displacement is visible from the ground?
Is it possible for planes (helicopters, jets, commercial airplanes, etc) to generate enough force to displace any amount of cloud, such that the displacement is visible from the ground?
Assuming an ...
