Continuum Hypothesis in Fluid Mechanics The macroscopic behavior of fluids makes them appear to be continuous. However‚ when viewed at the microscopic scale fluids cannot be viewed as continuous. The fluid under consideration will have molecules bombarding each other. It is not possible to declare the fluid velocity at a point as there is no guarantee that the fluid molecules are present at that point at a particular instant of time. When we calculate the fluid velocity or density at a point it

Classical and Quantum mechanics are the two main fields of mechanics in physics. Classical mechanics came a few hundred years before Quantum mechanics. Subsequently it is less accurate and less reliable then the more recent mechanic field of Quantum mechanics. Despite being outdated‚ Classical mechanics can still be used for many everyday problems with bigger and slower moving objects. However‚ when dealing with extremely fast moving or small subatomic particles a Classical approach will not

Force: This can be defined as a pushing or pulling action that causes a change of the state of a body. A long jumper who wants to increase their degree of force will need to increase their weight‚ but this can negatively affect their speed‚ so it is vital to get the balance right. The law of reaction also applies to movements that occur in the air. In these situations the equal and opposite reaction is shown in movements of other parts of the body. A long jumper‚ for example‚ will bring the arms

The Pearl‚ by John Steinback‚ recalls a parable in the bible. In the novella‚ the pearl is the central symbol‚ and unlike in the bible‚ is never clearly defined. Kino‚ Juana‚ and Coyotito are affected the most by the product of the pearl. At first‚ the pearl is seen as a stroke of divine providence‚ but through-out the novella‚ it will bring misfortune. The flawless pearl is deceiving and its true essence contrasts between its apparent‚ good outcome‚ and its intended‚ bad outcome. When Kino finds

One could often hear politicians to be regarded as charismatic or charming. However‚ seldom‚ if ever‚ does one associate these adjectives with a political system. The lack of connection between the two words did not stop a great philosopher‚ Plato‚ to describe democracy exactly with one of these terms: “Democracy … is a charming form of government‚ full of variety and disorder; and dispersing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike” (Plato 214). The underlining message of the quoted sentence
