  2. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    The name "seesaw" comes from the observation that it looks like a playground seesaw. Most commonly, four bonds to a central atom result in tetrahedral or, less commonly, square planar geometry. The seesaw geometry occurs when a molecule has a steric number of 5, with the central atom being bonded to 4 other atoms and 1 lone pair (AX 4 E 1 in ...

  3. Balance puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_puzzle

    A balance puzzle or weighing puzzle is a logic puzzle about balancing items—often coins—to determine which one has different weight than the rest, by using balance scales a limited number of times. The solution to the most common puzzle variants is summarized in the following table: [1]

  5. Lever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever

    For example, a seesaw, a crowbar, a pair of scissors, a balance scale, a pair of pliers, and a claw hammer (pulling a nail). With the fulcrum in the middle, the lever's mechanical advantage may be greater than, less than, or even equal to 1.

  6. Maxwell construction - Wikipedia

    The first two integrals here are area I while the second two are the negative of area II. The two areas add to zero hence their magnitudes are equal according to this Gibbs criterion. This is again the equal area rule of Maxwell, the Maxwell construction, and it can also be shown analytically.

  7. Equable shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equable_shape

    For any shape, there is a similar equable shape: if a shape S has perimeter p and area A, then scaling S by a factor of p/A leads to an equable shape. Alternatively, one may find equable shapes by setting up and solving an equation in which the area equals the perimeter. In the case of the square, for instance, this equation is

  8. Seesaw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_mechanism

    The name of the seesaw mechanism was given by Tsutomu Yanagida in a Tokyo conference in 1981. There are several types of models, each extending the Standard Model . The simplest version, "Type 1", extends the Standard Model by assuming two or more additional right-handed neutrino fields inert under the electroweak interaction, [ a ] and the ...

  9. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    Classical mechanics is the branch of physics used to describe the motion of macroscopic objects. [1] It is the most familiar of the theories of physics. The concepts it covers, such as mass, acceleration, and force, are commonly used and known. [2]
