    masses and different masses behave inertially when compared to each other. We will specifically study the differences of inertia between a disk and a ring. We will use increasing forces to induce angular acceleration of both a disk and a ring of a certain mass. We will then then measure the differences in the acceleration to determine how the ring and the disk resist rotational movement. Afterward we will compare how the radius of the masses and the torque(force) applied relate to the angular acceleration

    4. The Medium Access Sub Layer Broadcast channels [or multi-access channels] are a category of networks and the key issue is how to determine who gets to use the channel when there is competition for it. The protocols which define these factors belong to a sub layer of data link layer called the MAC(medium access control)sub layer. ALOHA: Norman Abramson devised a new and elegant method to solve the channel allocation problem called the “ALOHA” system which used ground-based Radio broad
