ASTOUNDING SOLAR ENERGY FACTS What is solar energy? People often think of solar energy as solar panels mounted on roofs in sunny neighborhoods. This is only part of solar energy (“Solar energy facts‚”2012). Solar energy is the oldest energy source. Plants‚ animal and the microbial life have been using it as a principle energy source since the times of creation. It is in the form of heat and light. In the past years‚ people have tapped solar energy enabling it to be used at all times; including

Deadly Hunter Killer Submarine. Submarines have been great at diving to depths that no man can dive to without protective armor and a major question is how this is possible. The answer lies in their structure and build. They are built following Archimedes’ principle and Boyle’s law. Submarines are completely enclosed vessels with cylindrical shapes‚ narrowed ends and two hulls: the inner hull and the outer hull. The inner hull protects the crew from the

He is rarely‚ if ever‚ referred to by name by other Greek mathematicians from Archimedes onward‚ who instead call him "ό στοιχειώτης" ("the author of Elements").[5] The few historical references to Euclid were written centuries after he lived‚ by Proclus c. 450 AD andPappus of Alexandria c. 320 AD.

This paper is submitted by mechanupam (ANUPAM BASU) Crude Oil which nearly contributes to 30% in the energy basket of the world is transported in containers having more than 3‚ 00‚000 deadweight. A tanker’s deadweight is a measure of ship’s carrying capacity in tons. It includes both the weight of the cargo (in the case of ship’s carrying crude the cargo is the crude oil) and the weight of the fuel the tanker carries for her own propulsion purposes. Crude containers come in an enormous range of

Specific gravity What is specific gravity? Archimedes discovered that the weight of body in air minus its weight in water is equivalent to the weight of the water displaced by the body. Specific gravity is defined as "The weight of a body compared with the weight of an equal amount of pure water at 4°C (4°C is the temperature at which water is densest). When a body is placed in water‚ the volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of the body. When the body is placed in water that it
