Title: Calculate resistance in each energy system relating to the unifying principle of a “force” divided by a rate.
Course: Principles of Technology I (03153-I) > Section: UNIT 4: RESISTANCE

Calculation should include

- the positive and negative effects of resistance for each energy system
- the formula for measuring resistance in each system, including
  - mechanical—F_static=μ_sN and F_kinetic=μ_kN
  - mechanical—R_D=F /v
  - fluid—R_fluid=-ΔP/V
  - electrical—R=ΔV/I
  - thermal—R_thermal=-ΔT/Q_H.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How do you measure resistance in a mechanical system? Fluid? Electrical? Thermal?
- What safety precautions are required to measure resistance in a mechanical system? Fluid? Electrical? Thermal?
- What are the units of measurement in each system?
