“The Five Forces helped me” Some readers complained that in criticizing the Five Forces analysis I was trashing something that they had found useful. I am glad to hear that some people have found help from Porter’s five-forces model. It is however a bit like saying that we had success for over a thousand years in predicting the movements of the planets with the geocentric model of the universe‚ so why should we accept that the earth revolves around the sun? There are ways to reinterpret Porter’s

HYDROSTATIC FORCE (EXPERIMENT 1) INTRODUCTION The determination of force which are exerted by liquid which are at rest on surface immersed in liquids. From the study by hydrostatic‚ the following principles have been established : a) There are no shear stress present when the fluid is not in motion. b) The pressure exerted by a fluid under hydrostatic conditions. This pressure acts perpendicular to an immersed surface. c) Hydrostatic pressure various linearly‚ increasing with an

Summary: Experiment 9 is conducted to identify the importance of intermolecular forces and how they affect molecules. Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules that determine whether the molecule is a solid‚ liquid‚ or gas under standard conditions. In our lab‚ we measured the maximum and minimum temperature reached and time it took to reach it of alcohols and alkanes. In addition‚ we measured the vapor pressure of the liquid at different temperatures. Through Experiment 9‚ we concluded
