Social change is regarded as the transformation of behavior, culture as well as social institutions. Structural Functionalism and Conflict Theory are both social change theories out of the three conjectural standpoints in the field of sociology. The perspectives conceive the society as a structure that is characterized by a reasonable...

In engineering and other fields related to it, bending moment is defined as a measure of the reaction produced by an element such as a beam when an external force or moment is applied to a structural element, thereby causing the element to bend (Gere and Timoshenko, 1996). Simply put,...

This paper is a lab report on the determination of the absorptivity value of food dye. It starts off with listing the objectives for the experiment and then it goes on to describe some bit of theory on the experiment itself. Beer’s law which states that Absorbance of light of...

In determining the reactions of a statically indeterminate beam, several methods can be used. This project aims at assessing the reaction of beams at the supports when loads are subjected. To achieve this, the project uses a support frame, reaction support piers, beam specimen, a meter ruler, and a set...
