Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed

Abetti This case study draws a parallel between the French Revolution and the GE ‘revolution’‚ according to three waves of transformation. We discuss the ‘hard’ effects on GE employees (strategy‚ structure‚ employment‚ rewards) and the ‘soft’ effects (culture‚ work climate‚ indoctrination). In parallel with the French

Minela Sljoka Notes on Physics Inertia- tendency of an object to maintain motion. Property of matter. Not newton’s first law. Matter wants to maintain motion- moving objects want to stay in motion if stopped wants to stay stopped. Mass is measure of inertia. Things have mass because they have inertia. Units: kg Symbol m in equation. Inertia is most constantly called rest mass but we call it mass because we are dealing with speeds not going to speed of light. Kinetic Energy- v^2 is proportional

Mini Case Study Can GE Remake Itself as a Digital Firm? General Electric (GE) is the world ’s largest diversified manufacturer. Fortune named GE "America ’s Most Admired Company" in 1998‚ 1999‚ and 2000. Jack Welch‚ GE ’s CEO and Chairman since 1981‚ is often cited as the most admired CEO in the United States. Headquartered in Fairfield‚ Connecticut‚ the company consists of 20 units‚ including Appliances‚ Broadcasting (NBC)‚ Capital‚ Medical Systems‚ and Transportation Systems. With the acquisition

In this essay I am going to be telling you about to what extent electric cars solve the fuel crisis. The critical steps are: 1. Evolve autos from gasoline/diesel to hybrid to plug-in hybrid. 2. Develop a battery that can run 200 miles on a 10-minute recharge. 3. Strengthen Briton’s electrical distribution system. 4. Recharge cars in garages‚ public places and service stations. 5. Build nuclear power plants to enlarge the supply of electricity. 6. Use all alternate sources of energy‚ i.e. wind

John C. Lincoln designed and developed the electric motor. He developed it in such a way that it could not be matched by any other competitor. However‚ his passion for inventing kept him from being able to manage the company he created. In 1907 he hired his brother‚ James F. Lincoln‚ to manage the day-to-day of the plant operations. This is when the plant began its growth and success. It became a billion dollar company under his tutelage. The Lincoln Electric Company‚ the world’s largest arc-welding

It looks like Gillespie conducted enough corporate anthropology research to identify viable consumer product needs that Lincoln Electric will be able to provide (stick consumables vs. automatic consumables segments). I understand that investing in Indonesia offers many benefits to the organization‚ mostly towards increased profit margins and market share of consumable products (for
