Figure 1 is the soil layer. Ground water table is at 5m depth. The thickness of each layer is determined by Case 1 uses H1 = 4m, H2 = 5m, H3 = 7m, and H4 = 2m. Case 2 uses H1 = 2m, H2 = 7m, H3 = 5m, and H4 = 4m. Soil below Layer 4 is considered as a rigid stratum which can control failure mechanism. Case 1 Layer 1: c’ = 3kPa, φ’ = 38°, and γ = 19kN/m3 (γsat = 20.3kN/m3) Layer 2 : cu = 25kPa, c’ = 8kPa, φ’ = 25°, OCR = 2, Cc = 0.8, Cs = 0.16, e = 1.1 and γ = 15kN/m3 (γsat = 16kN/m3) Layer 3: c’ =

Motion of Freely Falling Objects Objectives: * To study the motion of free falling objects * To determine the acceleration due to gravity, g. * To derive quantities from the slope and intercept of graphs * To determine if the motion of a falling object changes by varying its mass Theory: The free fall is a known example or the most common example of a uniformly accelerated movement, with an acceleration a = -9.8m/s2 (vertical axis pointing vertically upward). If you choose

What Is a Psychiatrist? A psychiatrist is a medical doctor that specializes in the treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are sometimes confused with psychologists, and while there are many similarities between the two professions, there are also many important differences. Because psychiatrists hold a medical degree and are trained in the practice of psychiatry, they are one of the few professionals in the mental health field able to prescribe medications to treat psychological disorders.

INTRODUCTION To be an effective police/law enforcement officer, one must understand where we (law enforcement) has been, where society believes we are and what the heck is going to happen in the future. Unfortunately the future is much more depressing than in the past. Society is getting more liberal with how the Constitution is viewed and applied towards suspects. The author posits that not to far into the distant future officers will need probable cause to make a consenual contact. But connecting

on What is the Relation between Science and Religion William Lane Craig Examines several ways in which science and theology relate to each other. Back in 1896 the president of Cornell University Andrew Dickson White published a book entitled A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom. Under White’s influence, the metaphor of “warfare” to describe the relations between science and the Christian faith became very widespread during the first half of the 20th century. The culturally

In the world of philosophy, physicalism (materialism) states there is no other existence outside the three dimensional physical world and that everything is composed of and understood by physical properties. I dispute this claim for many reasons. Many of the changes in the physical world originate from non physical things such as abstract metaphysical thinking. Another reason is that many of the experiences of life we have cannot be grasped by physically. Lastly, we have to consider the possibility

creation or is it a feature of the universe? Mathematics is undoubtedly one of the most important subjects known to man. It is artistic, exhaustive and sometimes even beautiful. But where did it come from? As we know, every science needs mathematics. Physics needs mathematics, chemistry needs mathematics, rocket science involves mathematics and so does the universal system of money. However, mathematics is the study of mathematics, which means that unlike the other sciences, it lacks an empirical component

Newton’s Theory. This led Einstein to formulate the principle of relativity. Which had a very big impact on history. But his biggest change in history was yet to come. In 1905 Einstein had four papers published in Annalen der Physik, a well known physics journal. One which included E=mc2, which says that if you split an atom you huge amounts of energy. This would revolutionize a new power plant type called nuclear energy. This theory was first ignored ,but then attention was brought to it by Max Planck
