Taut International
A taut object is one under tension. Taut is also a surname, and may refer to: * Bruno Taut (1880–1938), prolific German architect, urban planner and author * Max Taut (1884–1967), German architect Taut may also refer to: * Tauț, a commune in Arad County, Romania * Tăut, a village in Batăr Commune, Bihor County, Romania * Taut International, sports drink company acquired by A.G. Barr TAUT, an acronym, may refer to: * '' Tramways and Urban Transit'', a monthly magazine published in the UK * The complement of the SAT-problem; testing if a formula is a tautology, known to be co-NP In computational complexity theory, co-NP is a complexity class. A decision problem X is a member of co-NP if and only if its complement is in the complexity class NP. The class can be defined as follows: a decision problem is in co-NP precisely ...-complete. {{surname Surnames ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tension (physics)
In physics, tension is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a rope, chain, or similar object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements. Tension could be the opposite of compression (physics), compression. At the atomic level, when atoms or molecules are pulled apart from each other and gain potential energy with a restoring force still existing, the restoring force might create what is also called tension. Each end of a string or rod under such tension could pull on the object it is attached to, in order to restore the string/rod to its relaxed length. Tension (as a transmitted force, as an action-reaction pair of forces, or as a restoring force) is measured in newton (unit), newtons in the International System of Units (or pounds-force in Imperial units). The ends of a string or other object transmitt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
