There are many things that we know about thermal properties of solids, liquids and gases. The knowledge gained over a period of time is incredible. Once understood, these concepts form the foundation of thermal insulation, heat transfer, mechanical and electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. These are 2 technical terms that need to be understood very …
Take good care of lungs and enjoy a long life. The importance of taking care of lungs can never be over emphasized. It is really a fact that the quality of your life depends upon the condition of your lungs. As you breathe in your surroundings, the air is absorbed by your body and is …
To describe motion in plane and 3D space, you would require use of scalars to describe the underlying physical quantities. Thus, first necessary to know the language of scalars is to know the units of measurement for measuring angles, both local and global. Also, it’s necessary to understand the concept of dot product of angle …

The Indian monsoon describes the interchanging seasonal ocean current pattern seen in the tropical areas of the eastern Indian Ocean. Generally speaking, during summer the wind blows from the west. In winter the winds are directed eastward. As such the direction and speed with which the winds blow have a profound effect on the weather …
One of the main reasons as to why kidney failure occurs is due to an improper or low intake of fluids. This can be taken care of by either consuming enough fluids or by taking care of spleen stones. When the kidneys fail to excrete the right amount of liquid waste from the body, it …
A spreadsheet is an information management software for organizing, analyzing, and sharing data in tabular shape. spread sheets originated as computerized analogues of handwritten worksheets. The software works on information entered in rows of a table. A spreadsheet can be created by compiling several smaller applications, or by creating spreadsheets from scratch using some common …
Well-known soils in India are clay and sand soils with varied porosity and varying degrees of permeability. The sandy soils in India have a low permeability and good water holding capacity, while the clay soils are porous and retain moisture well. These two soils can be differentiated on the basis of their porosity and permeability. …
Important Ratios defining Mechanical Properties of Solids: Elastic Behavior of Solids Tension Elastic deformation and tensile strength, strain-time curves, static compression and tensile strength. We will study the properties of solids with reference to different tensile strengths, changes in compressibility, creep resistance, mechanical properties of solids, elastic modulus, stress-strain relationship, and tensile strength. This chapter …
Newton’s laws of motion are classified as universal laws, which admit of no exceptions. In addition to these laws there are three other laws of motion that are considered to be more important than the others. These include kinetic energy, potential energy and the conservation of momentum. Let’s see what these laws of motion tell …

Work Energy Power or WEP is the energy a system uses to do work and convert it to mechanical power. Kinetic Energy, also known as Work Energy, is energy that a system must work to produce a measurable amount of motion. The measurement of power is the sum of all the components of work or …
