Physics: Principles with Applications 6
The Achilles tendon is attached to the rear of the foot as shown in Fig. 9-66. When a person elevates himself just barely off the floor on the "ball of one foot." estimate the tensionFtin the Achilles tendon (pulling upward), and the (downward) forceFBexerted by the lower leg bone on the foot. Assume

Probability and Statistical Inference 9
As a clue to the amount of organic waste in Lake Macatawa (see Example 7.1-4), a count was made of the number of bacteria colonies in 100 milliliters of water. The number of colonies, in hundreds, for \(n = 30\) samples of water from the east basin yielded \(\begin{array}{rrrrrrrrrr} 93 & 140 & 8 & 1

Chemistry: A Molecular Approach 3
Write balanced complete ionic and net ionic equations for each reaction. a. K2SO4(aq) + CaI2(aq) S CaSO4(s) + KI(aq) b. NH4Cl(aq) + NaOH(aq) S H2O(l) + NH3(g) + NaCl(aq) c. AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) S AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) d. HC2H3O2(aq) + K2CO3(aq) S H2O(l) + CO2(g) + KC2H3O2(aq)

Sensation and Perception 10
Texture gradients are said to provide information for depth perception because elements in a scene become more densely packed as distance increases. The examples of texture gradients in Figures 10.6 and 10.8 contain regularly spaced elements that extend over large distances. But regularly spaced elem
