The smooth flow in pipes can be divided into laminar and turbulent flow using the critical velocity. The flow pattern is determined by the diameter of the pipe, flow rate, density and viscosity (Assefa and Kaushal). Thus a set of dimensionless groups can be determined using the following variables Where  is the...

The lab is aimed at investigating the relation between the head loss and the mean velocity in the pipes either during the laminar and turbulent flow regimes. The experimental data will be collected from two type of pipes, i.e. a small smooth pipe in both laminar and turbulent regimes and...

This lab is aimed at studying the composition and equilibrium of coplanar forces. Additionally, the lab will also evaluate the rectangular resolution and the equilibrium of coplanar forces. Theory Part I: Comparison and equilibrium of coplanar forces This part of the lab will demonstrate how several forces with their lines of actions lying...

Ø To investigate the spring constants of springs in series and parallel arrangements. Ø To investigate the Spring Constant of two different springs. INTRODUCTION In this laboratory exercise we were conduct an experiment to determine the spring constant of a spring and then investigate the effect of putting the spring in...

Hooke’s law refers to a physics principle which states that “the extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load (force) applied to it.” The law is used to approximate the elasticity of a string or response of elastic bodies. Hooke’s experiment also illustrates the relationship between the...

The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the spring constants of springs in parallel and series configurations. First, the spring constant for a single spring was investigated then spring constants for springs in parallel and series arrangements was also investigated and analyzed. The experiment was based on the Hooke’s...

Hooke’s Law explains the behaviour of the spring and other linearly elastic objects. According to the Hooke’s Law, the stress is always directly proportional to the strain. The aim of the Hooke’s Law experiment was to investigate and verify Hooke’s Law and the acceleration due to gravity with a linearly...

This paper is a lab report for an experiment on the calibration of a differential pressure transducer. Through this experiment, we will be able to measure the accuracy of the differential pressure transducer. Ideally, this equipment works in accordance with the principle of static differential pressure measurement. The pressure transducer...

Outline and discuss the difference between critical theory and problem solving theory. In regards to our view to the world order, Critical theory stands apart from the predominant order of the world and questions the origin or background of the order and how it came into existence while on the other...

Climate change is one of the major challenges facing the world in the 21st century. Scientists and environmentalists believe that the problem poses a significant danger to humanity. For the same reason that climate change is not friendly for human survival, scientists and environmentalists advocate for appropriate steps in addressing...

Social Theories Social theories have proved to be vital in the contemporary society. In particular, social theories have attempted to explain patterns or human actions in societies such as why people act in the way they do, functions of certain institutions, as well as how and why societies change. Karl Marxist...

Social construction and social imagination enable people to understand how experiences shape their realities and how to view their lives respectively. At the heart of the two concepts is the ability and desire to ensure that individuals develop a keen understanding of themselves and how the society affects them.  Case...
