Physics lab:9 Equilibrium of parallel force 11/09/2012 By: Camilo Salazar Jillian Ellis Purpose: To understand the conditions need for a rigid body to be in equilibrium when there are forces acting on the body from different sides. Theory: When force is applied on a rigid body for example a ruler it can either be in equilibrium or it can be unbalance. When the force is unbalance what would happen is this motion the body can be either translational or rotational. “A body in translational

CHEMICAL WEATHERING Chemical weathering is a process of alteration of rocks of the Earth’s crust. is a chemical decomposition process. is brought out by atmospheric gases and moisture. End product has a different chemical composition and poorer physical constitution. The process: Chemical change in the nature of rock takes place in the presence of moisture containing many active gases such as CO2‚ N2‚ H2‚ and O2. Rocks are made up of minerals.

cotton prices. The changes in cotton clothing market give us a good opportunity to illustrate the Principle of Market Equilibrium that any time there is an imbalance between supply and demand‚ economies will normally move toward an equilibrium in which no individual would be better off doing something else. In fact‚ we have now seen that a market tends to have a single price‚ the equilibrium price at which the quantity demanded of a good or service is equal to the quantity supplied. When the demand and/or

Case in the news: Demand/Supply and Equilibrium This article is based on the fundamental idea of supply and demand of the iPhone 5 whose demand has outstripped its supply. Due to the fact that the demand is so high‚ even those who pre-ordered the new slim iPhone 5 had to wait until October to get this new phone. The sales have broken all previous records and stand tall at 2 million phones in the first 24 hours. According to the article people had been

main objective of this experiment was to obtain some experimental measurement of Vapor Liquid Equilibrium for the Ethanol – Water system to verify the literature data. For this the Ethanol – Water system was heated to a certain temperature which is called the equilibrium temperature at atmospheric pressure and equilibrium temperature and compositions of vapor and liquid were measured. At the equilibrium temperature the samples of both vapor and liquid were taken in two different test-tube and the

PROBLEM SET 3 Problems for Chapter 3 1. Suppose the consumption function in the U.S. is represented by the following equation: C = 200 + .5 YD‚ where YD = Y – T and T = 200. a. What is the level of consumption in this economy if YD = 0? Briefly explain how individuals “pay for” this consumption when YD = 0. b. Given the above parameters‚ calculate the level of consumption if Y = 1200. Suppose Y increases to 1300. What happens to the level of YD as Y increases to 1300 (i.e. calculate

offspring have the same genotype ratio as their parents. This example was one of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The next generation will express the same genotype ratio as their parents‚ and so on. But what exactly is needed to create Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? (Basically‚ a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium s not evolving in any way.) Five specific factors are needed to create Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium within a population- a very large population‚ isolation from other populations‚ no net mutations
