A physicist said that the reason why the chair is able to hold my weight is because of Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle. His reasoning was that when the atoms of my body are in contact with that of the chair, the electrons in the my body push against the electrons in the chair. Thereby forcing...

As everybody knows, Oslo's local Labour Party is in uproar, because Tom Pape decided to vote against the party line and thereby secured that the new US embassy will be built in the Huseby area in Oslo (as the Americans themselves have wanted). Pape, who has been called disloyal and...

A wrecking ball (weight = 5910 N) is supported by a boom, which may be assumed to be uniform and has a weight of 2820 N. As the drawing shows, a support cable runs from the top of the boom to the tractor. The angle between the support cable and the horizontal is 32°, and the angle between the...

As long as we have a state, yes. The state can not be 'phased out' it must be overthrown. So until we do that it mine as well be taking care of people. P.S. And the more inefficient it is (if you believe that) the quicker the state will be overthrown. :biggrin...

Do you support the United States' policy to help India's civilian nuclear energy program ? Why, or why not ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4362884.stm

I read this article and pretty much agree 100% with its synopsis. What do you guys think about this? The Troops Don’t Defend Our Freedoms by Jacob G. Hornberger How often do we hear the claim that American troops “defend our freedoms”? The claim is made often by U.S. officials and is echoed...

I'm building a DVR system out of some older componets i have laying around my house. I'm going to be needing a new video card but everything worthy of puting money into is either AGP 2x/4x or AGP 4x/8x. My question iwould an older MoBo with the "old" AGP slots be able to support an AGP 2x/4x...

I previously have supported Bush on the Iraq War. But if this happens http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110007112 and Iraq becomes a theocracy as it seems likely, I think I will have to join the anti-war camp. This would mean that we didn't fight for principles of...

A man of mass mm = 95 kg decides to paint his house. To do this, he builds a platform using a uniform beam with a mass of mb = 100 kg and a length of L = 7 meters. The beam is supported by two sawhorses, as shown in the diagram above. If the man stands over the support at point B, calculate...

I really could use help on this one! I got this one wrong on the last test, it was driving me crazy. Spent almost half the time trying to figure it out. Two wires support a beam of length L=16. A box hangs from a wire which is connected a distance of 12 m from the left edge of the beam. The...

This could include changes to the alphabet, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. - any rule for writing. But only writing; Everything would still be spoken the same way. So for instance, if you wanted to spell 'told' as 'telled', it would still be pronounced as 'told'. What would you...

A few weeks ago, I and a few others were called "racist" for expressing our perception that a disturbingly significant fraction of Muslims support terrorism and the related perception that very little open criticism of terrorism or terrorist groups goes on in Muslim countries. I freely...

Basically, you have a rod kept horizontally on three supports. It's in equilibrium. The positions of the supports and the mass and length of the rod are given. Find the normal force by each support. The problem looks particularly simple. But notice that you have a shortage of an equation. You...

A diving board of length L = 3.00 m is supported at a point a distance 1.00 m from the end, and a diver weighing 490 N stands at the free end. The diving board is of uniform cross section and weighs 295 N. Find the force at the support point. ** Now I know net torque = 0 Suppose F1 is the...

In this thread everyone get's to express what kind of alternative Government you think we should have? Rules are: No arguing for Democracy No arguing for Republic No arguing for Fascism No arguing for Communism Why: Because we've tried those before, (except maybe communism according...

Why the US supports Israel I am not positionning myself on whether it should or not, or whether it is enough or too much, since I have met, and followed the points of view of people from Israel, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq, and have managed to get along with each of these persons. I try to keep...

I'm going to build a swingset/gym in my 4yr old's bedroom so during the winter he can satisfy his climbing needs without climbing on me :smile: How can I calculate the height (or thickness) of the beam I will need to use to support his weight, and perhaps the weight of a couple of his...

I'm sure that if I can figure one of these out, then I will be able to understand how to compute all this buoyancy stuff. Anyways, here is is: What is the smallest area of a chunk of ice that is 1ft thick that will just support a 3000lb car.

Hi all! I'm a student in APU University, Cambridge, England. One of my modules is Analogue Electronics, Exams are a few weeks away and i wanted to get an idea of how well I've grasped some of the concepts. We have been given a sheet to work through but have no one to mark it as all lectures...

I would like to create (with everyone's help) a list of experiments etc that support SR and GR. These should be reproducable experiments, or profound predictions that have been upheld, as well as objects/systems that use SR/GR calculations on an everyday basis. I would predict that such a...

SDSS observations, supported by Subaru and Keck, confirmed that a massive cluster of galaxies is the gravitational lens for a quadruple-quasar image, the widest pair being separated by >14" (arc seconds). In addition, "[d]iscovering one such wide gravitational lens out of over 30,000 SDSS...

around my neighborhood, people have jumped on the bandwagon and started tying yellow ribbons around just about everything they could. i know this is meant to show they support the troops overseas, but how exactly does tying a ribbon around a tree help a soldier who's being shot at? I'm starting...

[SOLVED] Linux kernel module support How is it these days? IMO this is one of major areas where Linux used to lag behind Windows. Loading/unloading modules during runtime was not always reliable and sort of a pain... has it been improved in the last year or two?

What does it mean to "Support our troops" Lately, people have been saying "support our troops" all over the place. It seems to be the biggest buzz word, but does it have any concrete meaning? Is it hoping for their safety? Is it supporting what they are doing? Is it respecting their...
