Feminist Criticism “In Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein‚ the author characterizes each woman as passive‚ disposable and serving a utilitarian function” (Haddad).

Introduction. Friction was studied in this lab. The experiments were conducted using a clipboard glued to various surfaces with diffirentiating frictional properties. In order for us to test the varying Static friction or Kinetic friction we used a Newton force gauge‚ some wooden blocks‚ and a metal weight. The actual experiment consisted of two parts. The first part measured the net force‚ or more specific the net force required to overcome the kinetic friction coefficient‚ to move the block across
