Find the resultant torque of coplanar forces with Python

Hello everyone, today I will show you how to use Python to calculate the resultant torque of coplanar forces. In this article, we will consider forces on a coordinate plane as shown below. To calculate the resultant torque with this Python script, we want to know the magnitude, angle, and coordinates of each force. With this script, we can calculate the resultant torque around any point of the coordinate plane. Let's get started. First of all, we have to install Python and other required software to write our code. After installing Python correctly, open the code editor and create a new file with the .py extension. We don't have to install any other module as the only module we want to use in this project is the math module which comes with Python. You can import the math module with the following line. import math Then we have to create a dictionary to store all the information about forces. You can use a list instead of a dictionary to do that but I prefer using a dictionary

How to find the index of an element in a Python list.

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. I thought to start a series to answer the most googled question on my blogs (this blog and https://talksofchamodh.blogspot.com ) In the first episode I'm gonna show you how to find the index of an element in a list in Python. I'm sure this may have been answered before on other sites I promise you, this tutorial will be the most valuable and authentic answer for this most googled question.   What is a List in Python  A list is a widely used data structure in Python that allows you to store a data sequence. This data type has some unique characteristics. They allow us to manage our memory and do our stuff more efficiently. How to find the index of an element in a list in Python? To find the index of an element in a list, we can use an in-built method called list.index(x). It returns the first item whose value is equal to x. For instance, I have the following list. languages = [ 'python' , 'R' , 'C++' ] And I want
