    1/17/13 Philosophy Kant & Foucault Both Kant and Foucault present a question of what is enlightenment? According to Immanuel Kant enlightenment was man’s freedom from his “self-incurred immaturity”. Kant believes that all that is needed to reach enlightenment is freedom. Enlightenment could not be achieved by any one person‚ we have to do so as a community. Kant said that we should have the freedom to make public use of our reason in all situations. He also believed that revolution is a

    calculations and ultimately creating a time piece (oscillator) Method In part A (Simple Pendulum) we will measure the effects of mass on the period of the pendulum. We will also calculate the period using small angular displacements and compare the results. We will also explore the effects on the period when the angular displacement is not “very small” (in essence > 10°). Lastly we will look at creating our own pendulum clock to create a period of 1 second. In part B (Mass on a Spring) we will experiment

    way to gain the security a school would like. While the two do not seem like they would be similar in any way‚ schools and prisons have huge similarities. “In each of its applications‚ it makes it possible to perfect the exercise of power.” (Foucault 293). One of the main ideas that the panopticon is supposed to portray is a sort of architecture for power. What this means is that when a facility‚ such as a prison‚ school‚ or any kind of building for that matter‚ is built in a panoptic way; it

    Z. K. L3 A THE SIMPLE PENDULUM • General Background: A mass m hanging from a string whose length is L and a pivot point on which this mass is fixed are what a simple pendulum (which was discovered during the 10th century by Ibn Yusuf) consists of. During the 17th century‚ it is developed by some physicist‚ especially by Galileo. When the mass hanging from the string is released with an initial angle‚ it starts to move with a periodic motion. The motion can be approximated as a simple

    EXPERIMENT No. 2 The Simple Pendulum Abstract A simple pendulum is one which can be considered to be a point mass suspended from a string or rod of negligible mass and allowing it to sway back and forth in a place. The objective of this experiment is to observe the motion of a simple pendulum‚ study simple harmonic motion‚ determine some factors that affect the period of a pendulum‚ and measure the value of acceleration due to gravity by use of a simple pendulum. The materials used were inelastic
