In physics, Lami's theorem is an equation relating the magnitudes of three coplanar, concurrent and non-collinear vectors, which keeps an object in static equilibrium, with the angles directly opposite to the corresponding vectors.
In the thermodynamics of equilibrium, a state function, function of state, or point function for a thermodynamic system is a mathematical function relating several state variables or state quantities (that describe equilibrium states of a system) that depend only on the current equilibrium thermodynamic state of the system [1] (e.g. gas, liquid, solid, crystal, or emulsion), not the path which ...
The equilibrium state of a thermodynamic system is described by specifying its "state". The state of a thermodynamic system is specified by a number of extensive quantities , the most familiar of which are volume , internal energy , and the amount of each constituent particle ( particle numbers ).
[11] Assume two products B and C form in a reaction: a A + d D → b B, a A + d D → c C. In this case, K eq can be defined as ratio of B to C rather than the equilibrium constant. When B / C > 1, B is the favored product, and the data on the Van 't Hoff plot will be in the positive region.
The basis for the rule [2]: 122–126 is that equilibrium between phases places a constraint on the intensive variables. More rigorously, since the phases are in thermodynamic equilibrium with each other, the chemical potentials of the phases must be equal. The number of equality relationships determines the number of degrees of freedom.
Being a husky owner isn't for the weak. It's not that they're bad dogs. It's just that they're HUGE drama queens. There has never been one situation where a Husky has maintained their chill.
A stationary object (or set of objects) is in "static equilibrium," which is a special case of mechanical equilibrium. A paperweight on a desk is an example of static equilibrium. Other examples include a rock balance sculpture, or a stack of blocks in the game of Jenga , so long as the sculpture or stack of blocks is not in the state of ...
From April 2012 to December 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Janice M. Babiak joined the board, and sold them when she left, you would have a 13.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a 3.2 percent return from the S&P 500.
