  2. Work (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)

    The ancient Greek understanding of physics was limited to the statics of simple machines (the balance of forces), and did not include dynamics or the concept of work. During the Renaissance the dynamics of the Mechanical Powers, as the simple machines were called, began to be studied from the standpoint of how far they could lift a load, in addition to the force they could apply, leading ...

  3. Conservative force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force

    In these cases, the above three conditions are not mathematically equivalent. For example, the magnetic force satisfies condition 2 (since the work done by a magnetic field on a charged particle is always zero), but does not satisfy condition 3, and condition 1 is not even defined (the force is not a vector field, so one cannot evaluate its curl).

  4. Parkinson's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_law

    Parkinson presented the growth as a mathematical equation describing the rate at which bureaucracies expand over time, with the formula = (+) /, in which k was the number of officials wanting subordinates, m was the hours they spent writing minutes to each other.

  5. Carnot's theorem (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot's_theorem...

    The sign convention of work , with which the sign of + for work done by an engine to its surroundings, is employed. The above expression means that heat into the hot reservoir from the engine pair (can be considered as a single engine) is greater than heat into the engine pair from the hot reservoir (i.e., the hot reservoir continuously gets ...

  6. Gravitational potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_potential

    The gravitational potential (V) at a location is the gravitational potential energy (U) at that location per unit mass: =, where m is the mass of the object. Potential energy is equal (in magnitude, but negative) to the work done by the gravitational field moving a body to its given position in space from infinity.

    Alumnus Anudeep Revuri, 23, of New Brunswick, allegedly developed the closed network used by the group to sell narcotics to other Rutgers students.

  8. Working fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_fluid

    If from state 1 to 2 the volume increases then the working fluid actually does work on its surroundings and this is commonly denoted by a negative work. If the volume decreases the work is positive. By the definition given with the above integral the work done is represented by the area under a pressure–volume diagram. If we consider the case ...

    If you have the eggs, don’t eat them. Return them to a local Costco store for a full refund or throw them away. No one has gotten sick so far from the affected eggs, the FDA noted.
