stretching out in front of you. Use the concept of torque to explain this effect. * When your arm is stretching out in front of you, any weight force exerted on your hand is at right angle to the lever arm between your shoulder and hand and produces a large torque above your shoulder. On the other hand, when your arm is at your side, any weight force exerted on your hand is directed away from your shoulder and produces no torque above your shoulder. B. Analyze the following situations. Show

acceleration equation for both masses is Fnet = mg, this is due to the fact that both masses are at a certain height above the ground. Since g is a constant of 9.8m/s2 [down] and m is the same for both masses, the Fnet for both masses is equivalent. The forces of each mass pushing down cancel out each other, resulting in zero acceleration (zero motion). 2. a. Acceleration would increase, this would be due to the fact that there is now a difference in the value of m in the Fnet = mg equation

INTRODUCTION Stress and how it affects people at work has become the subject of large interest. A lot of evidence suggests that the stress associated with work is often the main cause of heart disease, stomach ulcers, migraines and mental disorders. They have very important consequences for organisational behavior of employees, their personal and family life. FINDINGS 2.1 STRESSORS Stress is a word, which is used in almost every day. Most often we use it to describe the cause of discomfort

Objective The objective of this experiment is to study how a hollow shaft would behave compared with a solid shaft, in terms of strength and rigidity. Sample Calculation For Table 2: Comparing strength and torsional stiffness of solid and hollow shafts with the same outer diameter (12mm) For hollow shaft 12/6 mm, Experimental % change in torsional stiffness, = 305.05-343.64343.64 *100% = -11.23% Theoretical % change in torsional

like perfect stasis—as if history and time have ended and you can’t even remember that time ever moved forward. A free falling object is an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. There are two important motion characteristics that are true of free-falling objects: * Free-falling objects do not encounter air resistance. * All free-falling objects (on Earth) accelerate
