Physics Viii I. Answer The Following Questions One Word Or One: Fill & Download for Free

The word TOUGH is left to the perception of the individual. It differs from person to person.Let me give you one example, before I answer your question.Driving a vehicle (with gear) involves the following sequence:i) Bring the gear to the neutral.ii) Start the engine.iii) Press the clutch and bring the gear from the neutral to the first.iv) Remove the clutch slowly, and the vehicle starts moving.v) Now, press the clutch and bring the gear from the first to the second.vi) When the vehicle is moving at 20–25 km/hr, press the clutch and bring the gear from the second to the third.vii) When the vehicle is moving at 35-40 km/hr, press the clutch and bring the gear from the third to the fourth.viii) When the vehicle is moving at 50 km/hr, press the clutch and bring the gear from the fourth to the fifth.It is said easier than done. The above procedure is ‘Easy’ for those who have learnt and got used to the steps involved.Whereas the same procedure is ‘Tough’ for those who are yet to learn.Now, let me answer your question:Similarly in mechanical engineering some subjects require a special attention. However a person who is meticulous,with proper planning and time management(with a bank of dedicated hard work) can easily manage any of engineering.Fluid mechanics is really very interested subject.Fluid mechanics is a branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids and the forces on them. It deals with Pelton wheels, turbines, hydraulic operations of machines, pumps etc. It is the one of the very interesting subjects in mechanical engineering.A better book is’Hydraulics and fluid Mechanics by LEWITT, ELBS series book in England’.Source of pictures: Google Images.

Q: Is it true that poetry shouldn't be philosophical? My creative writing teacher told me that philosophy cannot be literature.My first reaction upon reading this question was “What?! Wow!”. You need to get another teacher. Your teacher seems to be ignorant of basic literary history. He or she is not even slightly close to being accurate. Perhaps the teacher meant something else that he/she was trying to critique in your writing? I hope so. If not, the teacher should be fired. Really. The idea of poetry not being philosophical is absurd! A writer who does not know some of the basics of what has been written is at a huge disadvantage. Some people might feel that metaphysical poets and theological poets are not philosophical ones. But they would be wrong. Many, many poets address questions related to the meaning of life, ontology, epistemology, aesthetics, metaphysics, or the existence of God.Just to pick a few big examples out of the air. Milton and Blake and Donne are all famous philosophical poets.Here is the start of Satire III by John Donne:Kind pity chokes my spleen; brave scorn forbidsThose tears to issue which swell my eyelids;I must not laugh, nor weep sins and be wise;Can railing, then, cure these worn maladies?Is not our mistress, fair Religion,As worthy of all our souls' devotionAs virtue was in the first blinded age?Are not heaven's joys as valiant to assuageLusts, as earth's honour was to them? Alas,As we do them in means, shall they surpassUs in the end? and shall thy father's spiritMeet blind philosophers in heaven, whose meritOf strict life may be imputed faith, and hearThee, whom he taught so easy ways and nearTo follow, damn'd? Oh, if thou dar'st, fear this;This fear great courage and high valour is……George Herbert is another famous poet who dealt with theological and philosophical ideas.Most of the Romantic poets were often writing about philosophy. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Williams Wordsworth, and Shelley, for example. They felt that the whole point of poetry should be to the filtering of natural emotion through the human mind in order to create meaning. Goethe’s Sturm und Drang movement was another example of philosophy in Romantic poetry.Wallace Stevens wrote many philosophical poems. Here is from "The Idea of Order at Key West,one of his very famous poems. In this the poet and his silent companion, Ramon Fernandez, respond to a woman singing near the sea.And when she sang, the sea,Whatever self it had, became the selfThat was her song, for she was the maker. Then we,As we beheld her striding there alone,Knew that there never was for herExcept the one she sang and, singing, made.Here is Stevens very famous poem Seven Ways of Looking at a Blackbird (1917). A teacher who did not know this poem or did not know it was about philosophy would be supremely handicapped.IAmong twenty snowy mountains,The only moving thingWas the eye of the blackbird.III was of three minds,Like a treeIn which there are three blackbirds.IIIThe blackbird whirled in the autumn winds.It was a small part of the pantomime.IVA man and a womanAre one.A man and a woman and a blackbirdAre one.VI do not know which to prefer,The beauty of inflectionsOr the beauty of innuendoes,The blackbird whistlingOr just after.VIIcicles filled the long windowWith barbaric glass.The shadow of the blackbirdCrossed it, to and fro.The moodTraced in the shadowAn indecipherable cause.VIIO thin men of Haddam,Why do you imagine golden birds?Do you not see how the blackbirdWalks around the feetOf the women about you?VIIII know noble accentsAnd lucid, inescapable rhythms;But I know, too,That the blackbird is involvedIn what I know.IXWhen the blackbird flew out of sight,It marked the edgeOf one of many circles.XAt the sight of blackbirdsFlying in a green light,Even the bawds of euphonyWould cry out sharply.XIHe rode over ConnecticutIn a glass coach.Once, a fear pierced him,In that he mistookThe shadow of his equipageFor blackbirds.XIIThe river is moving.The blackbird must be flying.XIIIIt was evening all afternoon.It was snowingAnd it was going to snow.The blackbird satIn the cedar-limbs.Or one could look at Ash-Wednesday by TS Elliot. T.S. Eliot began his career by training as a professional philosopher rather than as a poet. He wrote his doctoral dissertation, “Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley”. The relationship of philosophy with poetry remained one of his lifelong concerns. "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" was written during the period when Eliot was under Bergson's influence. The poem is critique of some of the implications of Bergson’s' philosophy, especially with references to his views on time, memory and consciousness. If you don’t know that Elliot was a philosopher you would miss a huge part of the poetry.His poetry, is itself part of the process, the working out and realization of his philosophy. Eliot had a concept of time that included two streams which exist simultaneously, and which intersect at significant moments. These are time temporal, in which man must live his life in the changing phenomenal world, and the Timeless, noumenal world which he encounters in these significant moments. He may live in phenomenal time in either of two ways, without hope or purpose, so that he is "time-ridden", or he can live in time teleologically, striving for the understanding of the design into which he must fit in order to achieve the harmony of the still point at the intersection of time and the Timeless. The harmony toward which he is striving in his dialectic struggle in time is complete wholeness of personality and spiritual transcendence.If you want to move to languages other than English there is a wonderful book by Stephen Greenblatt (the famous Harvard professor) all about the poetry and philosophy of Lucretius in the poem, De rerum natura (“On the Nature of Things”). It is called The Swerve: how the world became modern (2011), and if you have not read it you should. It won the Pulitzer Prize. SwervesThe Answer ManThere are many, many more. There is of course there is Dante, who is nothing if not about philosophy.“Dante’s engagement with philosophy cannot be studied apart from his vocation as a writer, in which he sought to raise the level of public discourse by educating his countrymen and inspiring them to pursue happiness in the contemplative life.” —Dante Alighieri (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)Rumi wrote some of the most famous Persian poetry. It is all about philosophy.Praise to the emptiness that blanks out existence.Existence:This place made from our love for that emptiness!Yet somehow comes emptiness,this existence goes.Praise to that happening, over and over!For years I pulled my own existence out of emptiness.Then one swoop, one swing of the arm,that work is over.Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear, hope,free of mountainous wanting.The here-and-now mountain is a tiny piece of a piece of strawblown off into emptiness.These words I'm saying so much begin to lose meaning:Existence, emptiness, mountain, straw:Words and what they try to say sweptout the window, down the slant of the roof.Rilke’s philosophy evolves through his poems. In Duineser Elegien ( Duino Elegies ) and Die Sonette an Orpheus ( Sonnets to Orpheus) he comes to his fimal form. He rejected the Catholic beliefs of his parents as well as Christianity in general. He tried to reconcile beauty and suffering, life and death, into one philosophy.Many, if not most of classic Japanese haiku are related to Buddhist philosophy. Perhaps the most famous haiku by Bassho is not really just about a frog. It is about the difference between a moment and eternity and Zen enlightenment.furu ike yakawazu tobikomumizu no oto古池蛙飛び込む水の音Old pondfrog jumpswater sound.It does not really translate, as it in not just about a frog jumping in a pond.Here is another by Bassho梅が香に　のっと日の出る　山路かな　（松尾芭蕉）(a jerk to the mind) suddenly sun rising,To the scent of the plum blossoms,on the mountain pathAs for literature beyond poetry, your teacher is also very wrong. Just one example of a current novelist is Rebecca Goldstein. She wrote the very good novels The Mind-Body Problem, The Late-Summer Passion of a Woman of Mind, 36 Arguments for the Existence of God, Properties of Light: A Novel of Love, Betrayal and Quantum Physics and the book of short stories called Strange Attractors. She is also a philosopher and written non fictions books such as Betraying Spinoza: The Renegade Jew Who Gave Us Modernity (2006) and Incompleteness: The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel (2005).Dame Jean Iris Murdoch (1919 –1999) was a British novelist and philosopher. She is thought to be one of the 50 best British writers since 1945. She wrote 26 novels. MOst have themes rooted in moral philosphy. Iris Murdoch, Philosopher - Oxford ScholarshipOther very well know writers of philosophical novels are Camus, George Orwell, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Beckett, David Foster Wallace, Pater, Mishima, Hesse, G K Chesterson, Anthony Burgess, Lem, Iris Murdoch, Voltaire, Proust, More, Satre, Carlyle, Musil, Mann, David Markson, Claire Lispector, Umberto Eco, Søren Kierkegaard, Renata Adler, Borges, Walker Percy, and Milan Kundera,

Yet still fundamentally Aussie born and bred (Melbourne represent).IX. Presently: Student at Monash University.X. Business major - Banking and Finance.XI. Ps. Hate every single day of it.XII. Pro tip: Procrastinating on work that is due, still doesn’t actually stop it from being due. FML.XIII. 5′10″ but wished I was 6′.XIV. On that note, cannot actually fathom why the Imperial System still exists (it’s 178 cm m’kay, not 5′10″!)XV. Hardcore introvert…XVI. …except for when I need to be a hardcore extravert. THEN I’M PUMPED!!!XVII. Marvel > DC (fight me)XVIII. Xbox > Playstation (again, fight me… unless you’re part of the PC “Master Race”)XIX. Biggest pet peeve? Anyone of the “brutally honest” inclination.XX. Manners and feelings matter to me a lot. A lot. A LOT.XXI. So then the easiest way to lose my respect? Completely ignore unwritten social norms advocating in favour of being civilized and restrained.XXII. Unless of course we’re well acquainted, in which case nothing is sacred.XXIII. Virtually couldn’t speak a single word of English until 6.XXIV. Forcibly enrolled therefore into an “ESL” Program hitherto 10.XXV. Come final year 2k16: top 8% in the state by examination, top 1% by “General Achievement Test”.XXVI. Classical Music, AC/DC, Queen, the BeeGees, Eminem and Michael Jackson are like crack to me.XXVII. K-Pop, T-Pop (Jay Chou anyone?), C-Pop and V-Pop are also somewhat up there.XXVIII. I am like the biggest sore loser. You’d seriously not want to be on the same team as me (unless we win of course).XXIX. Based only on memory, I can sing (in full) the national anthems of the following countries (former and present):AustraliaChinaEmpire of the Great QingFranceGermanyJapanNorth KoreaRussiaSouth KoreaSouth VietnamUnion of the Soviet Socialist RepublicsUnited KingdomUnited States of AmericaVietnamXXX. Despite having zero connections to the US, I can also sing (again, in full) the following American patriotic songs from memory:America the BeautifulArmed Forces MedleyAnchors Aweigh.Semper Paratus.The Caissons Go Rolling Along.The Wild Blue Yonder.The Marines' Hymn.Battle Hymn of the RepublicGod Bless AmericaHail to the ChiefI Wish I Was in DixieMy Country, 'Tis of TheeYankee DoodleXXXI. I actually cannot whistle, like even to save my own life.XXXII. Pineapple pizza… is direct and undeniable proof that Hell does in fact exist. Nuff said.XXXIII. I can only play the Guitar, but at least I play it fairly well.XXXIV. On the other hand, only knowing how to play 1 instrument is probably one of my biggest life regrets thus far.XXXV. Which is sort of OK though, since I’m only 20. So plenty of time.XXXVI. Even so, I consider myself to be a long term thinker. Not worrying therefore, about the future no matter how seemingly far off in the distance it may be, is completely unacceptable to me.XXXVII. Contrary to popular consensus, I believe that there is actually a lot of merit to judging, “a book by its cover”. Consequentially, I do it all the time and for better or for worse, rarely am ever wrong.XXXVIII. I am deathly terrified of heights, spiders and large insects.XXXIX. I am an ISFP per my MBTI scores, “Year of the Tiger” per the Chinese zodiac, and am “Cancer” per Western astrology. Make of that what you will.XXXX. Up until maybe around 9 or something, I was super effeminate, and regularly attempted to use and “experiment” with feminine hygiene products, in addition to cross dressing. Thankfully as they say, “just a phase”.XXXXI. Autumn is easily my favourite season. Winter is too cold, Summer too hot, and Spring brings out the worst in me in terms of allergies. So Autumn it is.XXXXII. According to the Asian-Australian community, I am a “Banana”: that is - and I quote - “Yellow on the outside, White on the inside”. This is somewhat of a false view though I would think, at least nowadays anyways.XXXXIII. American women from the US Deep South honestly have the sexiest accents in the world. I personally find it really charming, cute and soothing.XXXXIV. Sometimes I can be the absolute biggest hypocrite that I know. I expect for instance that people arrive on time to appointments that I make, yet fail to reciprocate when the time comes. Similarly, I ignore others and zone out in the midst of conversation, yet also absolutely lose it when the same is done to me.XXXXV. Arrogance to that extent I would say, is my single greatest flaw. I have a very cruel tendency to overvalue myself, at the clear expense of others. Sad.XXXXVI. Gimme a steak per day, and I can die a happy man. Preferably something like this:XXXXVII. Though on that note, I’m also partial to Italian, Greek, German, Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese and Mexican.XXXXVIII. “Nineteen Eighty-Four” by George Orwell is a must read for anyone alive in the 21st century. Myself? I’ve already read and dissected it 3 times.XXXXIX. True to the stereotype about Asians being bad drivers… I actually really do suck. If you want to live, then probably don’t ride shotgun when I’m at the helm.L. I love my country, and would gladly give my life in service of it, no questions asked.LI. I hate leading and I hate being a leader, but somehow still always find myself in charge no matter where I go, and no matter what I do. FML.LII. That might just be my fault though, since I do volunteer to take charge every time. I mean, not on purpose though, but when everyone else p***ies out… a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do am I right?LIII. Out of the eight or so types of intelligences which supposedly exist, I score highest on “Interpersonal”. No surprises there.LIV. I am actually a pretty decent cook. Western, Eastern - you name it.LV. I also believe that both genders should know how to cook in this modern day and age, where obesity is rapidly on the rise. Eat healthy, stay healthy. Simple.LVI. Long term ambitions? Marriage, kids, a stable job, friends and happily ever after - hopefully, if all goes well.LVII. I have never been outside of the Asia-Pacific region. Hoping to change that soon though. Fingers crossed.LVIII. Some of my personal heroes - be they dead or alive - include but are not limited to:Alessandro ValignanoAndrew YangArcadio HuangAristotleCharles-Louis de Secondat (Montesquieu)ConfuciusConstantine the GreatFrancis XavierFrederick the GreatGaius Julius CaesarGeorge WashingtonGnaeus Domitius CorbuloHuo QubingJohn ChoLe Thai ToLi ShiminLiu CheLouis XIVMatteo RicciQin Shi HuangPaul of TarsusPeter the GreatPlatoSalah ad-Din Yusuf ibn AyyubSocratesSteven YuenThomas AquinasTran Hung DaoVo Nguyen GiapWilliam WallaceYue FeiZhang QianZheng HeZhu YuanzhangLIX. My dad tricked me into watching “Predator” when I was four. It continued to scar me for years on afterwards.LX. On the bright side though, Horror is now my favourite genre (not that Predator was technically “horror”). It also takes a lot to truly scare me. Cheers dad.LXI. I am not partial to a majority of sweetened foods, with the exception of chocolate, ice-cream and gelato. Sweet drinks are all-g though.LXII. I enjoy washing the dishes by hand - try it, it’s oddly relaxing.LXIII. My biggest regret? That I even briefly flirted with the idea of “Communism” back in ‘14, no matter how short a period of time that lasted for. Again, “just a phase”. Dodged a bullet there, thank goodness.LXIV. Contrary to stereotypes regarding the infamous “Asian Flush”, I can actually hold my own when it comes to alcohol.LXV. In saying that though, I have never gotten drunk. And if all goes well, I will never need to.LXVI. I am academically interested in: psychology, international relations, history, culture, economics, physics, politics and religion.LXVII. I’m a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory, and really regret its imminent end.LXVIII. Aussie Rules Football (AFL), Tennis and Cricket are the sports I incline to the most.LXIX. I was kind of a bully in primary school.LXX. My parents made me the man I am today. I owe them everything.LXXI. Although, finding Christianity at the age of 12, did contribute somewhat to that extent also.LXXII. Nowadays, I make it a point of habit to volunteer whenever and wherever I can, both formally and informally.LXXIII. I believe in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.LXXIV. I swim and hit the gym at least 3 times a week.LXXV. Still a quintessential metrosexual though - love shopping for clothes.LXXVI. I try to avoid drinking coffee if possible. I just don’t find it necessary.LXXVII. Tea on the other hand - especially Green Tea - I like however.LXXVIII. Blue? Green? I can never decide which of these is my favourite colour.LXXIX. I am put off by the concept of having pets. Too much work for one, and when they die, you feel as though a member of the family really, has died. It would simply tear my heart out.LXXX. I don’t believe in smoking.LXXXI. I dislike the idea of vegetarianism and veganism, but to each their own.LXXXII. I love the ocean, and anything to do with water. That includes but isn’t limited to: fishing, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing.LXXXIII. I also enjoy acting, woodwork, drawing, painting, reading, and of course writing on Quora.LXXXIV. My niche on Quora to that extent includes the drafting of needlessly long answers, that kind of just go on forever. Case in point, my longest response is 24,000 words long.LXXXV. In accordance with my Center-Right views, I am a supporter (and possible future member) of the Liberal Party of Australia.LXXXVI. I have beautiful handwriting, or at least so I am told. Perpetually.LXXXVII. Until my parents “recommended” otherwise, there was an original plan which involved spending 6–7 years in the Royal Australian Navy as a commissioned officer.LXXXVIII. I have regular fantasies about living “off the grid”.LXXXIX. I also have regular fantasies about moving to the country.LXXXX. Some of my favourite movies include:AliensAvatarBraveheartCrouching Tiger, Hidden DragonForrest GumpGattacaGladiatorHouse of Flying DaggersInceptionInsidiousInterstellarKingdom of HeavenLoganLord of the Rings: Return of the KingMan of SteelPredatorRed CliffRobin Hood: Prince of ThievesSnowpiercerThe ConjuringThe ExorcistThe MummyThe PatriotThe Truman ShowThe UntouchablesTerminator 2: Judgement DayX-Men: Days of Future PastLXXXXI. Favourite video game? Definitely The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.LXXXXII. I think nightclubs in general are overrated. They’re also really not even that good for meeting new people to be honest.LXXXXIII. If neither time nor money were a constraint, I’d definitely travel the world. The entire world.LXXXXIV. In terms of “dead” languages, I would be most down with the idea of learning Latin or Classical Chinese.LXXXXV. Speaking of which, I absolutely love Chinese history. I love history in general, but have a particular affinity for the Sinitic dynasties in particular. They’re virtually all I ever write about on Quora.LXXXXVI. Given the option between being rich but miserable on the one hand, or poor but fulfilled on the other, I would definitely choose the latter 10/10 times.LXXXXVII. I have never broken no bone, unless you count teeth.LXXXXVIII. They say that “Gentlemen prefer blondes”, but I actually prefer redheads.LXXXXIX. I am at my most productive from evening onwards.C. More often than not, I’m a completionist.
