    Buckling length of column

    Taking B as origin, the boundary condition provided was ##v(x=0)= 0 , v(x=L)=0 , v'(x=0)= \theta B## ##v'(x=L)=0## , and also ##v'' (x=0) = M_B/ EI## However, I had problem of expressing the equation in terms of ## \omega L## Can anyone help ?

    Basic Stress and Strain question -- Rock on top of a vertical column

    a) I can find the compressive strain on the aluminium column using the formula ##\sigma = E\epsilon## as we know ##\sigma = F/A##. The area of the column is ##A = \pi r^2 = 0.126m^2## and the force on the column is ##F = 300*(9.8)N = 2940N##. The stress therefore is ##\sigma =...

    Why Do Enantiomers Interact Differently with Chiral Compounds?

    "Resolution of enantiomers can be accomplished using column chromatography. When enantiomers are passed through a traditional column, they travel at the same rate because their properties are identical. However, if a chiral adsorbent is used, the enantiomers interact with the adsorbent...
