1. Using diagrams and/or graphs‚ explain the following terms: a. Pressure Head pressure head [′presh·ər ‚hed] (fluid mechanics) Also known as head. The height of a column of fluid necessary to develop a specific pressure. The pressure of water at a given point in a pipe arising from the pressure in it. b. Total Discharge Head Total discharge head refers to the actual physical difference in height between the liquid level in the pit and the highest point of the discharge pipe or water level in

Although different in many respects‚ liquids and gases have a common characteristic in which they differ from solids; they are fluids‚ lacking the ability of solids to offer permanent resistance to a deforming force. Fluids flow under the

Mechanics Adapting to New Found Technology in Automobiles Mechanics are required to learn more as more technology is put into modern automobiles. In the past education was not necessary in order to be able to work on cars‚ but now due to all the technology available in today’s automobiles‚ automobiles have become more complex in structural integrity. The advances of technology make mechanics require more training in order to deal with newer modeled vehicles. According to Jack Trompert at talent-101

Statistical mechanics or statistical thermodynamics[note 1] is a branch of physics that applies probability theory‚ which contains mathematical tools for dealing with large populations‚ to the study of the thermodynamic behavior of systems composed of a large number of particles. Statistical mechanics provides a framework for relating the microscopic properties of individual atoms and molecules to the macroscopic bulk properties of materials that can be observed in everyday life‚ therefore explaining

Honore de Balzac‚ a French novelist‚ once said‚ “Equality may perhaps be a right‚ but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact”. Tomson Highway’s story “Hearts and Flowers” relates the despairing experiences of an eight-year-old Cree boy whose personal achievement at a small-town music festival takes place on the same day that Parliament provides the franchise to Native people. To begin‚ the white people were ignorant towards the Native people. Secondly‚ the white people treated the Native

Solomon Northup was born free black man and lived in upstate New York. Solomon was a educated and good working man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery. In March 1841 Northup was conned by two men‚ claiming that they wanted Northup to be a fiddler in their circus act‚ Northup was convinced‚ and went with the men to Washington‚ from there Northup was drugged‚ and lost consciousness‚ when he awoke he was shackled down in an underground jail cell. Soon after Northup was shipped to New Orleans where

Quantum Mechanics ~Three physicists were instrumental: Heisenberg‚ De Broglie‚ and Schrodinger ~Their approach stemmed from De Broglie’s matter wave concept known as "Wave Mechanics" or "Quantum Mechanics" ~ Bohr’s model was inefficient for atoms other than hydrogen or poly-electronic atoms ~ This new approach to a model of the atom focused on the concept of wave functions ~ Since electrons are particles and therefore have wave properties ~ Schrodinger viewed the electron as a standing wave

FLUID MECHANICS Fluids mechanics is a branch of mechanics that is concerned with properties of gases and liquids. Mechanics is important as all physical activities involves fluid environments‚ be it air‚ water or a combination of both. The type of fluid environment we experience impacts on performance. Flotation The ability to maintain a stationary on the surface of the water- varies from he on person to another. Our body floats on water when forces created by its weight are matched equally
