Essays on Tension

Abstract

Bridges are the most complicated structures to design in the Engineering field. The following experiment conducted using spaghetti and any type of glue in building a bridge model. The experiment involved testing how much weight can the spaghetti hold in tensile using a tensile strength testing machine. The experiment aimed at making a practical representation of real bridges and the forces on them. Three main real bridges are discussed, truss bridge, srch bridge, and suspension bridge. The tests were conducted through hanging weights on the constructed spagheti bridge and determining the breaking loads. The experiment result analysis showed that truss pattern brigdes ...

Introduction

A wide variety of everyday activities involuntarily applies fundamental laws of physics. While fishing, from casting to adding bait, physics is always at work. Even when fish latches on to the bait, it makes use of the water currents to its advantage to get away. Thus, pulling a fish in against the current requires a certain tension on the string to overcome the drag exerted by the fish, a particular tensile strength to ensure the string does not break, etc. The Laws of Motion, Newtonian Mechanics, etc. are continuously at work during fishing. This paper takes an intricate look at the physics ...

An argument to support a claim that Edgar Allen Poe uses a repertoire of strategies to create suspense in the Raven, The Black Cat, and the Tell Tale Heart. Edgar Allen Poe is a master in creating tension and this is present in several of his stories among which one may count The Raven, The Black Cat and the Tell Tale Heart. Tension is an important part of Poe’s strategy since we never seem to know what is coming next and this culminates in a frenetic sense of energy and momentum in the story. Poe relies on a number of techniques in ...

Answer 1

When a material is applied a force on, stress develops on the material. This in turn leads to the deformation of the material. Engineering strain can be defined as the measure of deformation of the element in the direction of the applied force divided by the original length of the material. If the stress is lesser in amount, the material will only deform upto a very small measure and it will come back to its actual size after the loading is removed. In terms of engineering stress and strain parameters, we make the use of undeformed and actual cross sectional area of ...

Most of the American colonies have people from different cultural backgrounds since the earliest historical eras. This multiculturalism was one of the main causes of conflicts and tensions in the American societies and still persisted disguised as racial discrimination which up to the late 20th century was allowed by some laws like the law of segregation. These conflicts and tensions thrived due to the fact that different people held different perspectives towards the same action or event. As a result, the conflict in ideas led to great tensions and at times turned bloody making a lot of people to lose their ...

Part 1: Brief description of Cardio-Metric and history

Cardio-Metric, a start-up company founded by Carlos Sanchez and Chris Ward, began its operations in Minneapolis in 2002 starting with a simplified blood pressure (BP) monitor for use by patients in their homes with signals sent to their physicians in the real time through internet. The company succeeded in rising venture funding of $ 6 million in 2003 in the first round of institutional financing. Daniel Kim was hired in 2002, to develop business plan, raise venture capital and to facilitate commercialization of the product. In 2004, the company launched the home market version of its product which was well received by ...

When it comes to representation through the mise en scene in film, there are a lot of different ways to show the tensions at work between past and present within the horror genre. In fact, it is these tensions that have stood at the core of the horror genre since its very beginning. In the first major work of horror, Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, it is the tension between the time before the creation of the monster and the time after, when Dr. Frankenstein encounters so many vivid reasons to wish that he had never stitched those body parts ...

Historical incidences marked the moment of the total change. The period between 1920s to the 1980s was certainly the period full of tension between new and changing attitudes as well as traditional values and nostalgia on the other. I totally agree with the above statement. In particular this was marked during the period of World War I. Evidently, the communist revolution in Russia marred by wave of terrorist attacks in United States took control. As a form of the retaliatory response, the U.S government headed by Attorney general A. Mitchell Palmer. Based on the certainties, the existence of ‘Reds' ...

Introduction

In the United States alone, statistics show that one in every four women experience domestic violence (NCADV, n.d.). The National Coalition against Domestic Violence (NCADV) reported that around 1.3 million women in the US have been victimized and subjected to physical assault by their partners. Although domestic violence affects both men and women, NCADV reiterated that 85 percent – the majority – of all victims are women. Other alarming facts about domestic violence is that in most cases, women do not report these violent incidents to the police due to fear. Moreover, in families, children witness violence between their parents, which ...

[Author] [Institutional Affiliation/University] 1) The article was written in the first person point of view. The narrator is the character speaking for his self. 2) In the story by Edgar Allan Poe, the tension primarily lies on how the character narrated how he killed the old man and how he was unable to hide his guilt in the end. Readers always want something good to happen in a story, and leading the story into murder and lies creates tension. It is similar in the Tell-Tale Heart. The tension began when the character confessed his plan to kill ...

Introduction:

Edgar Allen Poe was a great storyteller and one of the most important fiction horror story writers of his age. He was also credited with inventing the detective story when he came out with his Auguste Lupin character that was based in Paris and is rather a forerunner of Sherlock Holmes. In fact three of the classic Dupin cases; ‘The Purloined Letter’, ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’and ‘The Mystery of Marie Roget depict three classic situations which continue to affirm the point that Poe was the father of the detective novel. However this makes us observe the clarity with which ...

The world war two began in the year 1939 and ended in the year 1945 after Japan was bombed by USA. The war mainly involved the world super powers from both the west and the east and it started once Germany wanted to invade Poland (part of USSR) and make it its colony. Other European countries like France and England were against the move (www.pfuller.com). On seeing this, the West superpowers started to think of how to stop this and the USA backed by England and France started to help Poland to fight against Germany leading to formation of a ...

1. a) Describe the socialization process that Turner experienced at MLI

Socialization processes play an important role in integrating newcomers into the company and developing employee skills, relationships and attitudes, which are necessary for successful work in the company (Chao et al., 1994a; Chatman, 1991; De Vos et al., 2003; Louis, 1980; Thomas and Anderson, 1998). Neglecting or not using these processes effectively may result in job dissatisfaction, high staff turnover, low productivity and general miscommunication. Therefore, in order to make sure that recruiting expenses are not undermined by inefficient organizational socialization, effort should be put into integrating newcomers ...

Question One: Public Budgeting

The budgeting process goes through different stages. It goes through five strands namely the decision making, revenues, processes, balance and implementation. In all these process, Rubin asserts that the chief tension would often be between public accountability and public acceptability. While public accountability refers to the implementation of the budget through expenditure as agreed in the budget, public acceptability refers to the concept of incurring expenditure as per the wishes of the people, that is, the taxpayers. However, the budget process is complex and complicated making the interface between public acceptability and public accountability uneasy. It is on that ...

The Cold War, started in the year 1947 up until 1991. It is very well documented in books, documentaries, movies and in many other forms. It was sustained military and political tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. It began after the two countries formed an alliance that eventually defeated the Nazi Germany in the Second World War. They were the only two major superpowers, with great political and economic differences. George Orwell an English writer, was the person responsible for coining the name ‘Cold War’. Cold War was basically a situation where by the two countries, engaged ...

Arguably one among the rarest disorders, pyromania is complicated, both in diagnosis and treatment. Categorized under the impulsive control disorders, pyromania is complicated by the fact that it has quite a number of common characteristics with such ICDs as compulsive gambling, kleptomania, trichotillomania and a few others. The name pyromania is derived from two Greek words, pyr (meaning fire) and mania (meaning madness). While this disorder was the latest to join the list of known ICDs, it has for a long time been associated with social insanity. Before the disorder was scientifically identified, people considered all fires to be arson. Pyromania is ...

Introduction

As the influence of Britain declined after World War II, Australia reinforced its relations with USA. The task of forming a relationship began in 1942 and was concluded in 1951 with the formal formation of the ANZUS (Australia-New Zealand-US) treaty. The pact was a security treaty, which united the three countries against potential aggressors who thought that they stood alone in the South Pacific region (Capling, 2005). Economic treaty of Australia and US was first planned in 1946. However, in the beginning of 1980, the Hawk administration began negotiations with USA on a trade treaty. The same was also advocated by Bush ...

Act One, scene one

Fences by August Wilson was first performed in 1985. This paper will analyze its dramatic rhythm and the techniques that Wilson uses to tell his story, give it tension, expatiate on his themes and develop his characters. It will also address this central question: what is the significance of the title?

The set is conventional in one sense: it is the yard that fronts the Maxson household. It remains unchanged until the addition of some props in the final scene. This is Wilson’s basic space and characters enter and exit at carefully timed moments to introduce variety, or ...

Public budgeting provides reflections on government usage of money – the primary source of which are taxpayers. Government expenditures clearly define the purpose of public budgets, as deliberated through various decision-making processes influenced by a great variety of actors. In The Politics of Public Budgets, Irene Rubin provided notable features of public budgeting. She said that public budgeting is characterized through the (1) diversity of the actors involved, (2) open nature of the budget, (3) usage of mechanisms ensuring accountability to the public, (4) constraints provided by law, public opinion, and the like, and (5) the difference between ...

Ti West’s 2009 horror film The House of the Devil is more than just a simple crackerjack Satanic-panic thriller about a scared housesitter – it is a deliberate throwback to the occult horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, where the media was beset by stories of Satanists terrorizing communities and performing untold acts in the name of dark forces. At its core, House of the Devil is a tremendous debut, a horror film that wears its influences on its sleeve while honoring what was so fascinating about the subgenre’s subject matter. Through stellar cinematography that honors the type of film it is ...

Despite the fact, the story named after Edwin Drood, it focuses a lot on his uncle John Jasper. John Jasper is an opium addict, and a choirmaster who is in love with his nephew’s (Edwin Drood) fiancée Rosa Bud. Rosa bud is also a pupil to John Jasper, which quickly brings forth the conflict in the story. To make the conflict even more intriguing, Neville Landless also falls in love with Rosa Bud ...

Argo is a film that describes the rescue of a group of United States diplomats from a hostage situation in Iran. The film exclusively illustrates political crisis; however, a critique of the film reveals the political gaps that existed in the film. The film shows the great use of government power in the rescue mission but limits the use of some government arms in the rescue mission (Lapsley ‏ & Westlake 3). In the film, the Iranian activists hold a number of staff in the United States embassy hostage although some of them escape. However, the situation is expressly tough for the hostages. The director shows ...

The conflict between North Korea and South Korea and United States has existed for more than five decades. The involved parties have tried to resolve this issue through dialogue and signing of international treaties, but in vain. Instead, the conflict seems to escalate day after day; an idea that has affects economic, social, and political development in the region. This issue has escalated enmity between the involved parties and their allies thus weakening regional integration and economic prosperity. The international community has raised its concern about this problem and has tried organizing peace conferences and dialogues with the intention ...

In the 1975horror movie Jaws, sound and music are just as much characters in the film as the titular shark; always in the background, present to convey the tension and sense of horror that the human characters feel as they defend the beaches of Amity Island from a giant killer shark. Because of the director's artistic choice to deliberately obscure the shark from view for most of the movie, much of the work is done by the sound and music (the score composed by John Williams). Many sound effects in particular contribute to a sense of reality, and a feeling of ...

Arguably, not every society in the world can avoid conflict. In fact, conflict is part of human nature. Conflict among organizations and individuals is an unavoidable aspect of daily life. Many scholars assert that conflict is inevitable. Perhaps, understanding how it escalates and starts entails progressive strategy in using it to the advantage of those concerned. Conflict refers to a situation in which groups and people think, or have incompatible goals and objectives. Conflict is a wide concept, but many people belief only violence and war is conflict. However, conflict takes place in all levels of society and in all situations. ...

Question one

Slavery was a profitable business between 1500 and 1900. People from other continents such as Africa and Latin America were captured forcefully and transported to be sold in America or other places.

Recent years have witnessed heightened competition between China and her neighbors over resources, sovereignty and security in the South China Sea. This increased competition and tension has attracted the attention of both military and diplomatic leaders from various nations across the world that seek to promote both security and stability in these important waters. In fact the competition for maritime rights in this sea has become the most important issue of security in East Asia and some analyst have even declared it as the central conflict theatre in the globe. The South China Sea spans about 3.5 million kilometers ...

Stravinsky was no stranger to pushing boundaries when he premiered the Rite of Spring in 1913. He had had immense success the previous year with his reimagining of the Russian folk tale of Petrushka. In that piece, as well, Stravinsky took liberties with his writing and the plot of the story. However, the liberties taken in the music for The Rite of Spring were far greater and more surprising than past compositions by him, or any other mainstream composer of the time. Coupled with the unusual choreography by Nijinsky, the event was understandably shocking to an audience unaccustomed to ...

1. Why was control of the region important to the British and French? The original purpose of the British in controlling the Persian Gulf coast was to protect its strategic sea route to its empire in India. The safety of the region and the coast from piracy and other forms of conflicts, including conflicts between and among sheikdoms, jeopardized the free flow of trade in the region. To ensure the free flow of trade by freeing vital sea routes from piracy and conflicts, the British entered into a treaty with the sheikdoms in the Persian Gulf outlawing war within ...

Abstract

Tensile strength is a kind of force which is applied by pulling something such as rope, wire etc. to the point where it breaks [1]. The tensile strength of the material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can take before failure [1]. There is different kind of tensile strength yield strength, ultimate strength, breaking strength. The tensile strength can be found using tensile test which is a kind of the mechanical test [2]. Tensile test are simple, inexpensive and fully standardized. The motto of this paper is to analyze the tensile ...

Question One: How the US should deal with China

In the course we had discussed a number of readings that suggest that the US should deal with the rise of China by employing balance-of-power tactics. Other readings argue that the US can manage its relations with China more optimally by making China an equal co-partner in international institutions. I agree with the first perspective which states that the US should deal with the rise of China by employing balance-of-power tactics. The optimal option which aims at making these two countries equal co-partners in international institutions would not work and if attempted would be likely to fail shortly after it ...

‘Instructor’s name’

The cold War Relations between the USA and the USSR were always defined by many complicated interwoven political and economic factors, and the relationship which was a cautious cooperation during the World War II transformed into a superpower rivalry after the war. The basic distinction that existed in the political systems of the countries created an environment, which did not aid in mutual understanding and for a period of almost four decades there was a high military tension between the two nations. This sustained tension between the two countries and their allies and the ensuing political scenario, was commonly denoted by the ...

Question 1 Democracy deficit in the Middle East has led to an impact in patterns that are characterized by political and economic development in the Middle East. It is wrong when people associate this aspect with presence of Islam in the region and the perception that the region culture supports undemocratic cultures. Culture does not in any way affect the transition to democracy as long as the state and its economy are put under consideration. Transition from democracy deficit to democracy is influenced by the degree in which the independence thinking of the society is not affected by ...

Perhaps, the history and culture of this is somehow different a compared to other parts of Africa and Europe. North Africa and Middle East are in ...

As a nation, America is populated by immigrants and as such, its culture is a mixed bag – a melting pot, if you will, of ethnicities, cultures, ideas and beliefs. As a result, it is difficult to define any one traditionally American aspect of culture as it is bastardised from a whole variety of European, African and Asian influences. However, America can boast its culture as having been affected by these various different influences and as being shaped accordingly. One such major influence is that brought to the table by the African American community who have influenced American culture for decades through music, film, literature ...

Budgeting is the process of planning on measures to accomplish programs related to objectives of an organization. Government officials adopted the public budgeting to allocate the scarce resources to achieve the government’s goals at a given period. Public budgets serve a vital role in governance of a country. Public budgets are contracts agreed upon by both the legislative and executive officials to raise and spend funds on public projects, within a fiscal year, usually from July 1st to June 30th. Irene Rubin argues that accountability and acceptability of a public budget is hard to achieve among the public administrators, and the government needs ...

Arguably, the world today has become a global village. As a matter of fact, Asia has been influenced by various factors regards of its tendency to be so attached to its culture.

Sexuality is one of the main factors that motivate people to interpersonal contacts and communications. However, in historical and evolutionary development of human, not sexuality, but rather joint labor, wealth creation and the need to ensure existence were the main factors contributing to the emergence of groups and communities of people. Together with physical and mental characteristics and, above all, with the consciousness, speech and thinking, there have also evolved social relations. Thus, a person is both a product and a builder of living conditions, in which he/she exists; in addition, he/she is also the creator of oneself and of human society, ...

Justice is the quality of being just or fair. Additionally, can be defined as the exercise of administrative law; the act of determining and assigning rewards or punishments.

Introduction

Defining biologically, the reaction of a person in response to his/her environmental condition or towards a stimulus is termed as stress. At work, a person faces stress when there is a mismatch between the resources or capabilities and the demand of the job. However, certain stress at workplaces is normal, but when it exceeds the limit, stress affects a person’s professional life as well as personal life (Jones & Bright, 2001). It reduces the productivity of the employee and often affects the health condition (Jones & Bright, 2001). The paper reflects on the reasons behind stress at the workplace. Then it moves on to evaluate ...
