Paper clip

At constant displacement, creep causes stresses to relax with time. Bolts in hot turbine casings must be regularly tightened. Plastic paper-clips are not, in the long term, as good as steel ones because, even at room temperature, they slowly lose their grip.

Refer to Figure A as you set up the apparatus. Unbend three paper clips so that they are each in the shape of an S-hook. Use the paper clips to attach the small can to the ring. 

As the energy of a particle decreases, it produces more ion pairs for the same amount of distance traveled. Think of the particle as a magnet. As a magnet is passed over a pile of paper clips, the magnet attracts the clips. Maintain the same distance from the pile and vary the speed of the magnet. Notice that the slower the magnet is passed over the pile of paper clips, the more...

Using tongs, dip the hot paper clip in the filtrate. Then, hold the paper clip in the flame. Record the color you observe. 

I disciplined myself, in those days, getting up at 4 30 A.M. to study books on cybernetics, and insisting on boring my fellow residents with a ccmputer model I had made from bendable soda straws, tinker toy parts, paper clips and marbles. Success and failure were equally stimulating and nothing seemed to faze me for long. I was young, carefree and passionate. 

The next four pages will look at techniques that can be used together as part of one experiment. To illustrate this, we will consider an experiment to determine the percentage by mass of manganese in a steel paper clip using colorimetry. 

In an experiment to determine the percentage by mass of manganese in a steel paper clip, it is necessary to prepare various concentrations of standard potassium permanganate solutions. You will learn more about this experiment on p. 88. A standard 0 0010 mol h solution of potassium permanganate is often used as a stock solution in this experiment. Dilutions of the stock solution are prepared by accurately transferring a known volume of the stock solution, using a pipette or a burette, into a volumetric flask (standard flask). The flask is then carefully filled to the graduation mark with deionised water. 

Calculate the percentage by mass of manganese in the steel paper clip. 

The King-Altman method is most convenient for singleloop mechanisms. In practice, there is no need to write down the patterns. One can use an object say, a paper clip, to block one branch of the loop, write down the appropriate term for each enzyme species, then repeat the process until every branch in the loop has been blocked once. 

Remove paper. Mark the position of the gel and the contact side between gel and membrane on the membrane with a pencil. Rinse the membrane with 1 10 diluted Soln. D and allow the membrane to dry on air. Cover the membrane on both sides with filter paper, fix filter paper and membrane with paper clips, and bake for 2 - 3 h at80°C.

I I ou can simulate radioactive M decay with a bunch of paper clips J representing atoms of a radioactive element.The "atoms are thrown onto aflat surface.The ones that land in a certain orientation are imagined to have decayed and so are now atoms of a different element.

Pretending each paper clip is a legonium atom, toss all of them onto aflat surface. Remove all the atoms in the leg-up orientation and write down the number remaining in the row numbered 1 of the data table, for trial 1. Continue until all the legonium atoms have been removed.This completes one trial, and so you need to run four more because there will be a lot of statistical variation. Count the number of throws required to remove all atoms in each trial and calculate an average. 

Repeat the procedure, now pretending the paper clips are headonium atoms.The paper clips removed will be the ones that fall in the head-up orientation.
