of the massive aluminum and steel components. This kinetic sculpture directly relates to a mechanical engineering technology (MET) major. The primary MET courses this sculpture correlates to are Applied Statics, Applied Strength of Materials, and lastly Materials & Processes. Applied statics is the study of ways of calculating forces between adjoining bodies. Forces are responsible for sustaining balance and causing motion of objects. In this course we began the use of free body diagrams which
is approximately 2100 lbs. The hill is often travelled by truckers, and on the way up you noticed a sign that said the hill was at a 26 degree angle with the horizontal. Summary: When the car is at rest this means it is in a system of static equilibrium. Gravity is pushing forward on the car, and the tires are pushing back on the car via the reaction force of friction in the motor. The steeper the hill, the greater the force of gravity acting on the car, the greater the reaction force
The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the nature of the resistance of motion by static and kinetic friction. First, the maximum static friction force is attained through a system comprised of a mass hanging from a string nestled on a pulley and attached to a block and force sensor. Secondly, a block is moved at constant velocity to determine what force in the positive direction will match the force of kinetic friction in the opposite direction. Thirdly, data is collected from an accelerating
What is Static Electricity? By Ron Kurtus (revised 23 January 2009) Static electricity is the buildup of electrical charges on the surface of some object or material. Static electricity is usually created when materials are pulled apart or rubbed together, causing positive (+) charges to collect on one material and negative (−) charges on the other surface. Results from static electricity may be sparks, shocks or materials clinging together. Use of static electricity • Photocopy: Copy machines use

6. In your own words, define polarization, static evaluation, bypassing, malapropism, allness statements. Give an example from your own life or friend's life as to how these are language problems. Discuss how you/they can change these for the positive, in the future. According to the textbook malapropism,” Confusion of one word or phrase for another that sounds similar.” Word confusion is very common in especially in different contexts and if you do not use proper grammar or know the meaning of the

Archimedes and Fluid Mechanics Fluid mechanics studies the behaviour of liquids and gases at rest or in the motion. It can be divided into 3 different areas; fluid statics research on fluids at rest, fluid kinematics that investigates fluids in motion, and fluid dynamics that analyses the effect of forces on fluid motion. The second and especially the third areas are greatly used on both solved and partly solved problems. The study of fluid mechanics is significant to engineers; because the main
Static. The black and white pixelation on the screen, and the god-awful noise that accompanied it. I think my first memory was waking up to TV static. It was in the middle of the night, and waking up to that sound with the visual meant my VHS tape was over. I remember crying because the movie had ended. I would wait for my mom to come into the room and click play. She did. I would watch movies to fall asleep every night growing up. Movies have always been a huge part of my life, even then. Without
to Structural Analysis of Autorickshaw 5.1 Introduction to Static Structural Analysis A static structural analysis determines the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces in structures or components caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed; that is, the loads and structure’s response are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time. A static structural load can be performed using the ANSYS. Commercially
Have you ever seen a levitating orb? A real orb just floating in the air. This is not some magic trick, it is science. To make the orb levitate you must first know about electricity and how it works. Static electricity is what causes it to levitate. To understand how this electricity works we must start with the basics. The atom is the smallest unit of matter, consisting of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative
Fluid Mechanics Physics is the branch of science, which deals with the motion, and the causes of the motion on a specific body. However, what causes this motion? The answer is forces that are in action. This subject of motion under forces is termed as Mechanics. Every object around us shows some type of motion, for example Sun and the other planets are going in circular motion and many other examples are all undergoing in the action of some kind of forces. The motion of fluids or liquids under the
before the Hindenburg was landing their was an electrical storm, and the surface of the ship became electrically charged. Engineers had already planned for this however, they attached mooring lines, ropes, that would go down to the ground and take the static charge to the ground with them as the ship landed. There were, however, panels that remained charged. Eventually, this built-up electricity inside the remaining panels took the form of a spark. Since the charged panels were covered with the doping
visiting Egypt he is said to have originated the science of deductive geometry. He also discovered theorems of elementary geometry and is said to have correctly predicted an eclipse of the sun. Many of his studies were in astronomy but he also observed static electricity. Phythogoras was a Greek philosopher. He discovered simple numerical ratios relating the musical tones of major consonances, to the length of the strings used in sounding them. The Pythagorean theorem was named after him, although this
Static electricity is a form of electricity that does not flow: it is electricity at rest. Objects carry positive electric charges when some of their atoms have fewer electrons than they should, and they carry negative electric charges when some of the atoms have more electrons than they should. An easy way to produce static electricity is to rub two objects (made of certain materials) together: this transfers electrons from one item to another, giving each a positive or negative charge. Positively
Santiago, and his excruciating three-day battle with an enormous marlin. In many literary circles, there is a frequent debate on if Santiago is portrayed to be a static or dynamic character. Hemingway writes Santiago as a static character because he has not changed during his various hardships. Firstly, an example of Santiago being a static character is when he runs into a new ordeal he manages to stay calm and persevere.
though; by the opera’s end, Monostatos is arguably slightly bolder, he is more deliberate in his actions, and is slightly more accepting of his role in the world. A few very subtle changes do not a dynamic character make, but Monostatos is not as static as one might initially assume. Despite Monostatos’s supposed position of authority, in act 1, Mozart closely associates Monostatos with the common man. In the act 1 finale (“This path leads you to your goal, O youth,”) , beginning with the scene
the steps of Air Force accident investigations. Munitions Extreme care must be given to the munitions that may have been on board the aircraft. Just because the ammunition appears to be damaged beyond being dangerous the slightest amount of static electricity from clothing may detonate munitions. Before starting an investigation of any kind, obtain the list of munitions aboard and have the explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) team remove or inert them. Again eagerness must be controlled and situational
Although, hydraulics are known to be used as far back as the Hellenistic age, the Proper named father of hydraulics is William George Armstrong. Hydraulics systems work in a very simple and easy to understand way. Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. When Force acts on a small area it can create a much larger force by acting on a larger area by virtue of hydrostatic pressure, Allowing large amounts of energy to be carried by a small flow
In the book Static Jedi, evangelist, communicator, author, and artist, Eric Samuel Tim, shares a story about a missions trip he took to the Philippines to help a church there. On a December afternoon during the visit, Eric joined with a group of pastors to visit some of the local church members in a place called ‘death city.’ It was called death city because it was a huge housing development that was built upon a ritualistic burial site. The people had nowhere to go or live, so they had to start
