Calorimetry and the Application of Newton’s Law of Cooling
Newton’s Law of Cooling: Newton was the first person to investigate the heat lost by a body in air. He found that the rate of…
Applications of Ostwald Viscometer and Stoke’s Law of Terminal Velocity
An Ostwald Viscometer, which contains a vertical capillary tube T, is widely use for comparing the viscosities of two liquids. The liquid is introduced at…
Turbulent Motion and Explanations by Poiseuille’s Formula
TURBULENT MOTION Poiseuille’s Formula holds as long as the velocity of each layer of the…
What is Viscosity? Application of Viscosity to Fluid Mechanics
If we move through a pool of water we experience a resistance to our motion. This shows that there is a frictional force in liquids….
Applications of the theory of Solid, Static and Kinetic Friction

How to Determine the Dimension and Magnitude of Young’s Modulus
A modulus of elasticity of the wire, called Young’s modulus (E), is defined as the ratio It should be noted that Young’s modulus ,…
Definition and Application of Hooke’s Law of Elasticity
In understanding Hooke’s law, we can advance an illustration: A bridge, when used by traffic during the day, is subjected to loads of varying magnitude….
Concise Explanations of The Kinetic Theory of Saturation
The kinetic theory of saturation can best be explained when we consider a vapor in contact with its liquid, in an otherwise empty vessel which…
Application of Fraunhofer Lines and Kirchoff’s Laws in Spectrum Analysis
Fraunhofer Lines: In 1814 Fraunhofer noticed that the sun’s spectrum was crossed by many hundreds of dark lines. These Fraunhofer lines, as they are called,…
