The equilibrant force is the force that establishes equilibrium while the resultant is the addition of the given forces and is also the opposite of the equilibrant. The objective of the experiment is to determine the resultant of two forces experimentally‚ to be

Force Field Analysis is a technique developed by Kurt Lewin that involves the identification of forces that could drive a change and forces that could be obstacles to that change. Force field provides a framework for looking at the factors (forces) that influence a situation‚ originally social situation. Force will be useful when looking at variables involved in planning and implementing a change program and will undoubtedly be of use in team building projects‚ when attempting to overcome resistance

Competitive Forces (5 Forces) Barriers to Entry: The telecommunication industry is dominated by only a few fully integrated companies like Motorola and Nortel. Because of this‚ companies like Alcatel are involved in smaller scale acquisitions that are filling in product assortments. One issue with this is that smaller players are being squeezed by severe price competition. The telecommunications industry does have high entry costs given that the industry requires a high level of integration

framework uses concepts developed in IO economics to derive 5 forces that determine the attractiveness of a market. Porter referred to these forces as the microenvironment‚ to contrast it with the more general term macroenvironment. They consist of those forces close to a company that affect its ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of the forces normally requires a company to re-assess the marketplace. Four forces -- the bargaining power of customers‚ the bargaining power

defined as the force acting perpendicular to a unit area. It is the result of a force distributed over an area. A theater seat’s large padded seat and back offer a larger area to support your weight than a bicycle seat does. Thus‚ the theater seat exerts less pressure on you and is more comfortable than the bicycle seat. Many other everyday situations also involve pressure and it is not only about the theater or bicycle seat but as well as in fluids. To calculate pressure‚ divide the force by the area

The Forces of Achilles in the Iliad Thesis Simone Weil’s portrayal of the forces within the Iliad shows violence reducing its conveyer and its heirs to mere objects and Achilles being the embodiment of the force’s multivalent meaning as it develops from violence to a gallant virtue. This can be interpreted from Achilles first being introduced as the archetype of a caustic potency but soon realizes that his true force is greater than the simple martial dominance over another when he self-imprisons

Main Aspects of Porter’s Five Forces Analysis The original competitive forces model‚ as proposed by Porter‚ identified five forces which would impact on an organization’s behaviour in a competitive market. These include the following: • The rivalry between existing sellers in the market. • The power exerted by the customers in the market. • The impact of the suppliers on the sellers. • The potential threat of new sellers entering the market. • The threat of substitute
