Structures in the World
Across
- 3. a type of static load caused by the weight of the objects it supports
- 5. any load on a structure that is not caused by gravity
- 7. anything made of parts put together for a particular purpose
- 11. a network of parts that supports loads
- 15. the location on an object where an external force is applied or concentrated
- 17. the shape and physical appearance of a structure
- 19. an object that uses solid construction to support loads
- 20. a push or a pull
- 21. forces acting in an object as a result of pushes and/or pulls in opposite dirctions
Down
- 1. the task or purpose of a structure
- 2. a hollow structure with a curved shape providing high stregth and rigidity
- 4. the force of attraction between all objects
- 6. force a force acting on an object or structure from the outside
- 8. internal twisting forces created in an object as a result of a twisting motion being applied to the object
- 9. the quantity of matter in an object, commonly measured in grams or kilograms
- 10. the force of gravity acting downward on an object, measured in newtons
- 12. an internal force pulling the particles of an object apart
- 13. an internal force that presses or squeezes the particles of an object together
- 14. a force acting on a structure
- 16. a force acting between two parts of a body
- 18. a type of static load caused by the weight of the structure itself
