KINESTHETIC‚ (STATIC) EQUILIBRIUM AND ORGANIC SENSES * STATIC EQUILIBRIUM Equilibrium or balance monitors the position and movement of the whole body. In a strict sense‚ inner ear is the biological gyroscopes for sense of balance. EQUILIBRIUM * Hair cells in the vestibular membrane or semicircular canals of the inner ear are receptors for balancing. Vestibular sacs which connect the canals with the cochlea are substances that move when the head rotates or tilts. * Head movements

1. Briefly explain the following: a. Chemical equilibrium- Chemical equilibrium is the state of a reaction when the concentrations of the reactants and products are no longer changing and remain constant. The forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reactions making them equal. This type of equilibrium is also named dynamic equilibrium or a dynamic process. When a reaction has reached its chemical equilibrium‚ the constant K value will remain constant unless the temperature changes

Spectrophotometric Determination of an Equilibrium Constant. Abstract: The report presents determination of equilibrium constant for the formation of a complex ion FeSCN2+. This was accomplished using a colorimeter to measure absorbance of some known concentration solutions in order to generate the calibration curve. The equation of the graph was used to compute the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products‚ needed to calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

THE THEORY OF THE FIRM Notes by:Ramon Somar THE THEORY OF THE FIRM Even though managerial economics is not concerned solely with the management of business firms‚ this is its principal field of application. To apply managerial economics to business management‚ we need a theory of the firm‚ a theory indicating how firms behave and what their goals are. The concept of the firm plays a central role in the theory and practice of managerial economics. An understanding of the reason for the existence

disequilibrium of greed portrayed in Kino’s imaginary story indicated that equilibrium is not only necessary at the lowers of social status‚ but also required in the economy and global market today. Jamie Woodwell‚ in her article about mortgage banking‚ titled‚ A Detour to Dis-Equilibrium‚ speaks about the global market saying‚ “When a shock hits a market— a dramatic shift in supply or demand— the market moves to dis-equilibrium. When that happens buyers and sellers cannot come to terms‚ the market slows

The meaning of static equilibrium can be explored by first examining the definition of equilibrium. Equilibrium means that an object is at rest or that the objects

Instead‚ by increasing the concentration of the cathode‚ the voltage of the galvanic cell will decrease due to the equilibrium shift to the left. The highest concentration (1.5 mol dm-3 ) was the lowest out of the 3 trials at 1.68 volts‚ thus proving that the higher concentration the lower the voltage. When the concentration of the product decreases‚ it will drive the equilibrium to the right to minimize the impact. Although‚ the lowest calculation (0.5 mol dm-3) is not necessarily the highest out

1. Introduction When we say equilibrium‚ it is a state of balance. It is a condition where there is no change in the state of motion of a body. Equilibrium also may be at rest or moving within a constant velocity. A simple mechanical body is said to be in equilibrium if no part of it is accelerating‚ unless it is disturbed by an outside force. Two conditions for equilibrium are that the net force acting on the object is zero‚ and the net torque acting on the object is zero. Thus‚ the following objectives

large firms have over smaller firms and vice-versa‚ in the pursuit of entrepreneurial activity. As an enterprise can be defined as private business‚ it can thus be separated into two main categories which are small firms and large firms. Within many countries and many industries there are normally a large number of small firms and a smaller number of large firms as can be seen in the United Kingdom where there are only a few thousand large firms and over 4 500 000 small to medium sized firms according
