    I was interested in systems and their working since my high school days. I have spent many weekend afternoons taking my cycle, an air-conditioner apart just to observe at the systems. Science has long since held a cherished place in my heart. Since my secondary school days I have had a special interest and aptitude for science. Based on my interests I took up the science stream in high school. It was here that I truly discovered myself. I was inclined to physics more than any other science stream

    per square centimetre) the ratio of stress to strain for a wire or bar of a given substance. According to Hooke´s law the strain is proportional to stress, and therefore the ratio of the two is a constant that is commonly used to indicate the elasticity of the substance.

  • Fatigue Life Estimation of Lower suspension Arm of a Sedan car - Analytical Approach

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    Present research focuses on finite element based fatigue life prediction of lower suspension arm subjected to non-uniform varying loads. Primary objectives of this research work are to predict fatigue life of the lower suspension arm using Strain-life approach and to discover suitable materials for the suspension arm. The CAD model of lower suspension arm is developed using CAD tool - ProE (Wildfire4.0); later it is transferred to Ansys 12.1, where finite element analysis for fatigue life analysis

  • Spring Constant of Springs in Series and Parallel

    for each spring set. Due to existing knowledge of springs I propose that the series spring set will have a lower spring constant (and hence due to Hooke's Law display a greater extension) than the parallel spring set. Also, as Hooke's Law is a linear function, the spring constant of the series spring set should be exactly half that of a single spring, whereas the spring constant of the parallel set should be exactly double that of the single spring. This also means that if the resulting extension

    Investigation of elasticity AS1b SE FC Sheffield International College James Bott Group: FS13 student no. 10838 Introduction When the object is loaded through spring freely that can be considered as elasticity. The simple elasticity consists of a mass, a mass hanger, a steel spring and a retort stand. There are two forces, which affect the spring. The first force is gravity which is the force exerted by the gravitational field of a massive object on body within the vicinity

  • Piggy Bank Essay

    acquire all the material it will take to make it. The market value set for a single piggy bank is set at $11. My total fixed cost including rent and utilities for my business is $4,000 per month. My cost function is C(x)= 4,000+11x. In order to get the linear cost function, I take the equation C =mx+b. There is an option to buy a piggy bank deluxe box which includes 100 piggy banks for $650. This would place the marginal cost at $5, C is equal to the total cost and x is the number of items. The slope m

    Investigating the Oscillations of a Mass on a Spring Aim: In this physics coursework, I'm here to investigate the oscillations of a mass of a spring. In this investigation, the oscillation means the wave moving with periodic regularity. In this investigation, I can use any mass and many springs, so that I can investigate the oscillations. Variables: I believe there are many factors or variables, which can affect the time for 1 oscillation. These can be: · Mass of weight - I believe

    Current Technology on Winding Linear Generators Abstract This paper is an overview of the materials and winding technology that is currently used on today’s linear generators. It contains information on the types of wire used as well as the epoxy used to hold the coil windings in place. Furthermore, it contains information on the possible orientations that the coils can have with respect to the permanent magnets. Introduction Linear generators/motors have been around since the early

  • False Memories in the Courtroom

    1960 Words  | 4 Pages

    Imagine spending twenty-four years in prison for a crime you did not commit. Furthermore, imagine that conviction is based on witness testimony and no valid forensic evidence. This is the case for Texas resident Steven Phillips and countless others whose unfortunate circumstances stem from the fallacious nature of human memory. Phillips was wrongly convicted in 1982 based on a few of the many inadequacies of human memory (“Know the Cases”). Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common occurrence due

  • I Will Use My God Given Talents in the Practice of Law

    I believe that time is a gift from God and it is up to individuals to make wise decisions regarding how they will invest the time that God has granted them. My perception of time dictates, to a degree, how I chose to use it. I believe that time is linear - there is a beginning and an end - God, the creator of time. For this reason, I strive to use my time wisely. One day I will be unable to live like I do now, so I believe that it is important to make the most of what time I have. However, I also

  • One Hundred Years of Solitude: Linear and Circular Time

    678 Words  | 2 Pages

    One Hundred Years of Solitude: Linear and Circular Time Cien Anos de Soledad Style in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude is closely linked to myth. Marquez chooses magic realism over the literal, thereby placing the novel's emphasis on the surreal. To complement this style, time in One Hundred Years of Solitude is also mythical, simultaneously incorporating circular and linear structure (McMurray 76). Most novels are structured linearly. Events occur chronologically, and

  • Systemic Change

    1296 Words  | 3 Pages

    Systemic Change What Is It To fully understand Systemic Change, one must first be able to distinguish systemic from systematic. The term systematic often is associated with images of a linear, generalizable model of how to do something. Systemic on the other hand implies a global conception of the problem and an understanding of the interrelationships and interconnections. (Carr 1996). The systemic perspective in instructional design is traditionally limited to feedback via needs assessment

    internet. It provides flexibility for both authors and readers because of the way ideas are linked to one another. One of the most experimental forms is the hypertext novel. Until recently, readers were limited to only linear text. The introduction of hypertext allows for non-linear forms of text, which allow readers to move from one point in the text to another simply by clicking a link. One of the main features of hypertext is this interconnectivity. The way in which the parts of text are linked

    and spoken explanations. The fourth and final continuum of learning is Sequential and Global. This style is to do with the way in which learners put together the information they have been given. Sequential learners tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly "getting it." To be an effective learner you need to

  • Gradient Function

    Gradient Function For this investigation, I have to find the relationship between a point of any non-linear graph and the gradient of the tangent, which is the gradient function. First of all, I have to define the word, 'Gradient'. Gradient means the slope of a line or a tangent at any point on a curve. A tangent is basically a line, curve, or surface that touches another curve but does not cross or intersect it. To find a gradient, observe the graph below: [IMAGE][IMAGE] All you

Number of matchsticks on perimeter = P Number of base = b Perimeter difference = 4 (always) When the perimeter difference is always the same therefore the general rule will be linear pattern: P = 4b Prediction: =========== I predict that, I can find the number of matchsticks on the perimeter using this general rule, P = 4b Example 1: Number of matchsticks on base = 9 Perimeter difference = 4 Therefore:

  • Angular Momentum

    1417 Words  | 3 Pages

    To understand angular momentum easier it is wise to compare it to the less complex linear momentum because they are similar in many ways. "Linear momentum is the product of an object's mass and its instantaneous velocity. The angular momentum of a rotating object is given by the product of its angular velocity and its moment of inertia. Just as a moving object's inertial mass is a measure of its resistance to linear acceleration, a rotating object's moment of inertia is a measure of its resistance
