Law of Tort What is Tort? - The French word of ‘wrong’ - That set of rules specifying certain actions and omissions as wrongs which give rise to civil liability - Almost entirely based on case law Tort of Negligence - The “neighbour principle” o “The rule that you are to love your neighbour becomes in law‚ you must not injure your neighbour” Lord Atkin‚ Donoghue v Stevenson Who is neighbour? Persons who are so closely and directly affected by action that one ought reasonably to have

some of these tools at work. 5.1 Examples The power series or Taylor series is based on the idea that you can write a general function as an infinite series of powers. The idea of Fourier series is that you can write a function as an infinite series of sines and cosines. You can also use functions other than trigonometric ones‚ but I’ll leave that generalization aside for now. Legendre polynomials are an important example of functions used for such expansions. An example: On the interval 0 < x < L the

we measured it when it had the spring had added mass and when it didn’t have added mass. Additional to this‚ we were able to measure the rotational oscillation of a Torsion pendulum that was rotating on its central axis. With this data we created a sine curve to display the oscillating effect which was made possible by using the translational oscillation. After that‚ my partner and I created a histogram that displayed the different lengths of the period of oscillation. This histogram used the Torsion

COURT OF APPEAL Slater v Clay Cross Co Ltd [1956] 2 QB 264 Full text 17 May 1956 DENNING LJ: In Derbyshire there has been for well over a hundred years a railway line owned by the defendants. We were told that George Stephenson himself made it. The defendants use it so as to carry limestone from their quarries at Crich down to Ambergate. It is a small gauge line‚ only three feet‚ three inches wide‚ and is 2 1/2 miles long. On that small line there are two tunnels. One of them‚ with which we

Designing a roller-coaster is not easy‚ they have to be thrilling and exciting but not jerky. A lot of work has to be done to design a safe yet breathtaking roller coaster. The engineers have to consider the forces acting on the roller coaster train as they gain momentum and the structural support needed to support these forces. There are different designs of a roller coaster‚ for example‚ a suspended roller coaster‚ in which the track is above the speeding car. There are wooden‚ regular steel‚ steel-flying

For example‚ Pseudo Random Binary Sequence (PRBS)‚ sinusoidal‚ multi-sine‚ step‚ continuous step and etcetera. In this study‚ multi-sine‚ continuous step and PRBS are selected as input signals. A function of multi-sine with three different frequencies‚ 0.05Hz‚ 0.2Hz and 1Hz is used as the input signal. The equation is given and shows as below. Since impulse signals are hard to generate and might

Ganita covers decimal number system‚ algorithms for square and cubic roots‚ geometric measurements‚ the algorithm for Pi‚ tables of sines using Pythagorean Theorem‚ quadratic equations‚ proportions‚ and the solution of linear equations. This discusses the Aryabhata’s method to solve the mathematical problem‚ Kuttaka (means pulverizer) also known as Aryabhata’s algorithm. This algorithm

By: Victor Hui Introduction Leonhard Euler was a ground-breaking Swiss mathematician and physicist from the 1700’s. He made many revolutionary discoveries. However‚ the one that caught my eye was his solution to the Basel Problem in the year 1734. The Basel problem was initially posed by an Italian mathematician by the name of Pietro Mengoli in the early 1640’s. This problem baffled the even the greatest minds at the time. Branching from mathematical analysis‚ the Basel problem involved knowledge

The Law of Tort is a concept that has been evolving through the ages. This ever-dynamic evolution of tort law has been the mater to many principles under which tortuous liability can be demanded. Simultaneously‚ certain other principles are used‚ to counter these claims for compensation. These counter claims‚ or defences are used to evict those innocent citizens from tortious liability who have been unfairly implicated with claims imposed on them. These defences were formulated from time to time
