Many people modify their Harley-Davidson engines--and find the results disappointing. What they might not know--and what this book teaches--is that emphasizing horsepower over torque, the usual approach, makes for a difficult ride. Author Bill Rook has spent decades perfecting the art of building torque-monster V-twin Harley engines. Here he brings that experience to bear, guiding motorcycle enthusiasts through the modifications that make a bike not just fast but comfortable to ride. With clear, step-by-step instructions, his book shows readers how to get high performance out of their Harleys--and enjoy them, too.

Torque and leakage rates of various lubricated lip seal designs at peripheral velocity of 120 feet per second.

A theoretical investigation has been made of the torques acting, as a result of electromagnetic interaction, on spherical conducting earth satellites. The analysis has been applied to the 41-meter-diameter satellite Echo II (1964 4A), which is in a near polar circular orbit. The calculations have yielded quantitative values for the accelerating and the decelerating torques. A probable explanation of the nearly constant spin rate of Echo II for a long period of time is that the eddy-current torque and the induction torque were in balance. Other torques are shown to be negligible in comparison with these two.

University Physics is designed for the two- or three-semester calculus-based physics course. The text has been developed to meet the scope and sequence of most university physics courses and provides a foundation for a career in mathematics, science, or engineering. The book provides an important opportunity for students to learn the core concepts of physics and understand how those concepts apply to their lives and to the world around them. Due to the comprehensive nature of the material, we are offering the book in three volumes for flexibility and efficiency. Coverage and Scope Our University Physics textbook adheres to the scope and sequence of most two- and three-semester physics courses nationwide. We have worked to make physics interesting and accessible to students while maintaining the mathematical rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from fundamental to more advanced concepts, building upon what students have already learned and emphasizing connections between topics and between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses and future careers. The organization and pedagogical features were developed and vetted with feedback from science educators dedicated to the project.
