I could be as miserable as you think I am and I still wouldn't scam on jsp, scum.

Do you understand what the word "rigid" means?



I don't know what you call whatever that guy in the GIF did to the spring, but it sure looks like "bending" to me.
If springs were rigid, they would be completely useless. A rigid spring is just a metal bar. If your car had suspension springs that fully transferred force from one end to the other, they wouldn't dampen anything - every impact felt by the wheel would fully transfer to your seat. The whole point of springs is NOT to be rigid. They need to absorb energy by flexing.

ummm sir i think you're forgetting that springs do not absorb movement because they have constant tension. "or" is a product of nasa, how funny that you need them to tell you how to think.

What a surprise - you cherry picked the definition on a word to make it fit your bias, ha. What word would you suggest that could efficiently describe the difference between the properties of a bowl of Jello and and that of an Ice cube are the exact same because they're both made of water, because that is what you doing when you're saying a slinky is a spring. And rigid itself does not always mean just completely inflexible ever - as in only the man of steel could bend it. In mechanics it referes to being able to transfer tension from one end to the other, that it remains rigid in space.

I notice you didn't include these definitions of that word because you're completely intellectual dishonest to yourself and everyone.

6.
Mechanics. of, relating to, or noting a body in which the distance between any pair of points remains fixed under all forces; having infinite values for its shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Young's

A Slinky does not remain rigid in space when tension is applied at opposite ends and is therefore not a spring.

so if i apply force to a spring, the distance from any point to another doesn't change? or are you going to redefine "distances" and "all forces" to continue down this rabbit hole alice.


i thought you were bad at algebra, you seem to be even worse at geometry.

Can I get this in unretarded?

think about it

Im not changing anything - you just dont understand it - Springs are rigid because the transfer tension from one end to the other, still waiting for you to replace any actual spring with a slinky and until you do, your points are moot.

a body in which the distance between any pair of points remains fixed under all forces;



spring
-//////////-
10 coils(/)
point one is the third / and point 2 is the 7th
if i extend the spring
- / / / / / / / / / / -
the distance between the two points increases

gg ur stupid
