Applications of Physics in Everyday Life By Steve Johnson‚ eHow Contributor Even walking manipulates physics‚ allowing people to proceed in a state of "constant falling." Physics extends well into people’s everyday lives -- imprisoning people within its forces. From each step a person takes to the evolution of the body‚ physics has several long-term as well as short-term effects and uses. For everyday living‚ many technologies have even exploited the rules of physics. 1. Simple Mechanical

Introduction: The point in a body at which the resultant pressure acts when the body is immersed in a fluid. The apparatus for center of pressure. Objective: The object of this experiment was to calculate the hydrostatic force a fluid exerts on a submerged plane surface and then compare the experimental hydrostatic force to the theoretical hydrostatic force. Theory: The apparatus defining the physical dimensions‚ this nomenclature will be used throughout this theory. Whilst the theory

Lab Report: DRILLING FLUID (MUD) DENSITY Objective: The aim of this experiment is to determine the mud density‚ specific gravity and hydrostatic pressure gradient for water-based-mud‚ WBM (Drilling fluid) using the OFITE mud balance. Theory: Drilling fluids are used during the drilling of boreholes‚ either for oil wells or water boles holes. One of the major functions of a drilling fluid includes providing hydrostatic pressure to prevent formation fluids from entering the wellbore. To ensure

Hindustan Unilever Ltd: The Wheel Saga MM I Individual Assignment (Weightage: 5%) In April 2009 at the Goafest‚ one of India’s top DJs‚ set the dance floor ablaze by playing a remix of the Nirma jingle. Truth though is he would have been better off playing a remix of the Wheel jingle that was inspired by the 1960s‚ Shammi Kapoor hit song Dekho Dekho Dekho from An Evening in Paris. That commercial‚ set in motion a Wheel that would roll on over the decades to become

Wakeboarding Wakeboarding was invented by a San Diego surfer named Tony Finn. Tony began a wakeboard revolution in 1985 when he developed his cross between a water ski and a surfboard. Then‚ the owner of H.O. Sports‚ a leading water ski manufacturer took interest in advancing it by introducing the first compression-molded-neutral-buoyancy wakeboard. He called it the Hyperlite. This wakeboard led to the growth of the marketplace making wakeboards more accessible to everyone. How a Wakeboard Works

Cams Drop/Snail A snail/drop cam has a slow rise and then a sudden drop. This is a one-event-per-turn cam with a slow build up to the peak and a rapidly decreasing edge. This cam has one direction only‚ which is counter clockwise. Pear A pear shaped cam that is made from a circular disc of material‚ which is then elongated to create its shape. This cam will provide a steady rise and fall in the in the follower followed by a period where the follower does not move. Eccentric An

be where it is. He also give the names of the people who created the different math techniques so we can blame them. “Archimedes of Syracuse was the quintessential math nerd.” He used math to beat the Romans who were attacking in 212 B.C. He was so engrossed in math that when the Roman invaded‚ he didn’t even notice. He was too busy drawing math in the sand. Stories of Archimedes went around the world until a young French girl named Sophie Germain. Before his untimely death‚ he came precariously
