ASSAM EARTHQUAKE AND OUR BUILDINGS Md Ali Akbar MOLLICK* Introduction An earthquake of magnitude 8.7 on the Richter Scale (8.1 on the Moment Magnitude Scale) occurred on 12th June 1897 at 5.11pm in the Assam Basin, some 250 kilometers (km) north from Dhaka, 130 km north-west from Sylhet and 70 km north from today's Bangladesh and Indian border. The epicenter was 26o (N) and 91o (E) and focal depth was 32 km. The shaking was felt over an area of 650,000 square-kilometer (sq-km) and destruction

The Physics of High Jump Physics is the most important aspect of every sport that people play today. One sport that is completely physics based is track and field, but more specifically, the event known as the high jump. High jump has been around since the 19th century, with the first jump simply a standing high jump. Over the past one hundred years the technique of high jump has evolved to include: the scissor kick, the western roll, and eventually the fosbury flop; which is currently used today

Control Architecture and Algorithms of the Anthropomorphic Biped Robot Bip2000 Christine Azevedo and the BIP team INRIA - 655 Avenue de l’Europe 38330 Montbonnot, France ABSTRACT INRIA [1] and LMS [2] have designed and realized an anthropomorphic legged robot, BIP2000 (fig.1). A planar version achieves walking, and the whole robot is able to keep its balance on one foot while moving. The purpose of this paper is to present the principles and the architecture of the robot control we have used

MEASUREMENT OF THE SPRING CONSTANT TWO METHODS COMPARED ABSTRACT A spring is an elastic object, which can be extended and contracted by forces with a constant elastic coefficient. This report assesses two methods for determining the spring constant of a specific spring. One method uses the length that the spring extends and the masses that are attached to the spring. The other method measuring the spring constant is based on the harmonic motion. INTRODUCTION Spring constant is an instinct

an object moving in a circle at a constant speed? Include all that apply. a. The object experiences a force which has a component directed parallel to the direction of motion. b. Inertia causes objects to move in a circle. c. There can be a force pushing outwards on the object as long as the net force in inwards. d. Because the speed is constant, the acceleration is zero. e. If the net force acting upon the object is suddenly reduced to zero, then the object would suddenly depart from its circular

spot on! A stable base or a position of dynamic balance at POR would ensure: * Increased resistance to work the body levers against other body parts – summation of force – heavy parts move first, transferring momentum to the lighter, faster moving body parts… * Body energy transferred efficiently to the bat * Full force generation Finally food for thought, if you increase your stability during the position of readiness, what effect would this have on perception, accuracy and consistency

college I have responsibility to my class mates to get my work done so that we all can succeed. Personally, I want to graduate so that I can advance my career opportunities. Also I want to improve working relations between the management and the working force of a hospital. I feel as if there is a huge gap between nurses and management. Balancing my personal responsibilities first start at home. I have to make sure my child is well taken care of and get appropriate amount attention. Second, work has to

How does their social standing affect their character and the natural forces they struggle against? There were four men in the boat. They were the correspondent, the oiler, the cook and the captain. Each of them had their unique characteristics and their own social roles. The correspondent functions as a narrator of the story

measurable. The most difficult forβestimation is that the strong non-linear characteristics of vehicle, especially non-linear characteristics of tire force makes vehicle model parameters change greatly as vehicle running in nonlinear conditions. This paper proposes an observer based on nonlinear tire model which can describe the tire lateral force in its nonlinear region. Simulation and experimental analysis demonstrate the observer’s effectiveness, especially when the vehicle running in nonlinear
