3 Throughout the world soil is constantly being eroded. There are three major principles that can cause soil to erode‚ leading to soil degradation. Over-cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation have huge impacts on the degradation of the soil. There are‚ however‚ actions that can be taken to preserve or correct the conservation of soil. To further understand the prevention of degradation‚ we must fully comprehend the major causes of soil erosion. One major cause of soil erosion is over-cultivation

The objective of the lab was to learn about fracture mechanics. Fracture mechanics is the branch of structural mechanics that deals with mechanical behaviors of bodies containing flaws. Some important attributes of flaws are size‚ shape‚ and location/orientation relative to the stress field. Procedure: The primary tools for the lab consisted of 10 ceramic tiles and a Instron machine. The Instron machine was initially set up for 3-point bending by a technician. The base and thickness of the tile

Outline the most serious threats posed to the physical environment and vulnerable populations by soil degradation Soil degradation is the decrease in the quality and quantity of soil caused by agriculture and industrial purposes. Types of soil degradation are water and wind erosion‚ physical degradation and chemical degradation. Some of these are human causes and some are physical causes. Overgrazing‚ deforestation‚ overpopulation‚ fertilizer and pesticide use and conflict are some examples of

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

Theoretical soil mechanics. New York: Wiley In this book‚ Terzaghi introduces the idea of bearing capacities‚ the critical load over a given area which a soil takes to fail. The concept of bearing capacities became fundamental in determining the ultimate load which can be taken. Once a soil is pushed beyond its elastic region‚ it undergoes plastic deformation and fails after a given settlement. Terzaghi developed a simple equation which calculated the ultimate bearing capacity of a soil which was

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

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
