PHY 305/601 Classical Mechanics Assignment No. 1 1. Consider a particle of mass m constrained to move on a frictionless cylinder of radius R‚ given by the equation ρ=R in cylindrical polar coordinates (ρ‚ φ‚ z). Besides the force of constraint‚ the only force on the mass is force F=-kr directed toward the originUsing z and φ as generalized coordinates find the Lagrangian L‚ solve Lagrange’s equations and describe the motion. 2. Show that the kinetic energy of any holonomic mechanical system has

It requires a lot of hit energy to transform a given quantity of water in to vapor. This energy is called enthalpy of vaporization. While water evaporates the temperature around it drops. We see this phenomenon in action in leaving things‚ they use sweat to low their temperature and also in many manmade tools. What is evaporation cooling? Evaporation cooling is a device that cools air by combining the natural process of water evaporation with an air moving system. Evaporative cooling is different

shortage. In their search for other sources of labour the planters tried Chinese‚ Madeirans‚ even free African slaves but each of these options all had their disadvantages. After a trial and error period with many different labourers‚ it was found that the Indians were the ideal labourers. The Indentureship period was supposed to be a fair‚ humane and just system unlike the African slave trade and slavery on the whole but this was not the case. In many aspects of the Indentureship period

GLOBAL WARMING Global warming is the increase of earth’s average temperature as the result of green house effect. Green house gases in the atmosphere act like a mirror reflecting back the heat radiation which would otherwise be dispersed into space. Greenhouse effect is the problem of gradual rise of gases such as carbon dioxide in the air surrounding the earth which traps the heat if the sun. Greenhouse gases are any of the gases that are thought to cause green house effect.

April 2014 Module Facilitator: Dr Charlene Lew The adoption of western management and leadership practices has impacted adversely on Africa’s capacity to develop in the global marketplace (Nwagbara‚ 2012). According to Kuada (2010)‚ African economies have been disastrous as compared to Asian economies who had similar levels of growth five decades ago. Scholars have argued that leadership weakness constitutes the most important reason for Africa’s poor economic performance (Walumbwa et
