Introduction It has been a puzzling question in fluid mechanics for quite some time as to why golf balls are designed with dimples. In the 1800’s it was discovered that a ball with scuffs in it flew through the air more consistently than a smooth golf ball.6 Manufacturers started incorporating patterns to golf balls to try and find which gave a more stable and reliable flight pattern. In the 1900’s it was determined that the strategic placement of indentations maximizes lift while minimizing…

The factors that affect the drag coefficient is the shape of the body, the roughness of the surface, the viscosity of the fluid and compressibility of the object. The viscosity of the fluid introduces the Reynold Number. In Engineering, a key concept to understand is the Reynolds Number. It is the ratio inertial forces (resistance to motion) compared to the viscous forces (fluid 's internal resistance to flow). It is dependent of the velocity, density characteristic length and dynamic viscosity.…

in mathematics, numbers are defined as a value, or an amount, represented by unique symbols, digits. There are two types of numbers, real number which exists on the number line and complex number or as defined as “imaginary number” which is outside of the number line. Real numbers are accepted as a simple idea where their properties can be proven using logic and reasoning, while for imaginary number or “i” cannot exists on the number line because square-root of a negative number is irrational,…

may or may not have a pop quiz coming up,” the aged professor says. Concluding the class with a slight cunning grin. As all the students get up to grab their bags and leave, I turn to Amanda and say, “hey Amanda, would you want to exchange phone numbers so we can do the homework for next week.” The words get out from my mouth very quickly, since I had been thinking about what to say during the lecture and had carefully prepared this sentence as if I was going to address the President. “Yea what…

Symbolism of Savagery and Civilization in Lord of the Flies The use of symbols and imagery in literature allows the audience to engage themselves in the novel. William Golding’s Lord of the Flies portrays the diverse aspects of humanity through detailed symbols. The symbol which gives the novel its name, the severed pig’s head on a stick, and Simon’s encounter with it, visually displays the sadist side of humanity and the temptation of evil. From the beginning of the novel, the child-like fear…
