Faucets, now Twisting!

LOADS AND FORCES!!! 
Hi again! Today when I was washing my hands, I noticed another force in my house! The knobs on the sink in my mom's bathroom, is a good example of twisting. Sorry that is a bit random, but now that we are making blog posts about loads and forces, I am starting to notice so many more forces and loads. Here is a picture of what I am talking about. The thing on the right is one of the knobs. You can see that it is slightly turned already. The dead load of this object is the metal and everything else it is made out of. The live load, well, there isn't really a live load on these knobs. You don't put something on it.
The faucet is different. The dead load is the same (metal), but the water in it, could be the live load if you think about it.

WELL, happy meowing!!!! And be on the lookout for forces and loads in your house!

Sincerely,
Meow
