Center of Mass: Introduction01:03

Center of Mass: Introduction

Any object that obeys Newton's second law of motion is made up of a large number of infinitesimally small particles. Objects in motion can be as simple as atoms or as complex as gymnasts performing in the Olympics. The motion of such objects is described about a point called the center of mass of the object. The center of mass of an object is a point that acts as if the whole mass is concentrated at that point. The center of mass of an object with a large number of infinitesimally small...

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but its center...
Finding the Center of Gravity01:03

Finding the Center of Gravity

The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. The center of the mass of a body is a point at which the whole of the mass of the body appears to be concentrated. If the acceleration due to gravity, g, has the same value at all points on a body, its center of gravity is identical to its center of mass. The center of gravity of homogeneous bodies such as a sphere, cube, or rectangular plate is...
Internal Forces and Center of Gravity01:25

Internal Forces and Center of Gravity

Internal forces and the center of gravity are fundamental concepts in mechanics, playing a crucial role in understanding the behavior and stability of structures and objects under various conditions. A comprehensive understanding of these principles is essential for engineers, architects, and designers to create safe and efficient systems.
Internal forces are generated within a body due to the interaction between its particles. These forces can be categorized into tension, compression, and...

Center of Gravity

The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...
Center of Mass00:59

Center of Mass

The center of mass is the point at which the total mass of an object can be said to be concentrated. It is a fundamental principle in mechanics and physics that applies to all objects regardless of their shape or size. The center of gravity is the point at which an object’s weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly.
The knowledge of the center of mass can also help us to describe and predict the motion of objects. For example, when a ball is thrown into...

Summary

This study explores psychoanalysts' journey of self-discovery by confronting their submissiveness to traditional psychoanalytic conventions. It highlights the challenges and transformative process of embracing authentic selves in clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Psychoanalysis
  • Psychology
  • Self-discovery

Background:

  • Traditional psychoanalytic training often imposes rigid conventions.
  • Psychoanalysts may struggle with professional identity and authentic self-expression.
  • Previous work, 'As far as possible': discovering our limits and finding ourselves, highlighted initial constraints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the process of moving beyond "supposed to" in psychoanalytic practice.
  • To explore the developmental transformation experienced by psychoanalysts.
  • To illustrate the challenges of authentic relational experiences in psychoanalysis.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative self-reflection and narrative inquiry.
  • Sharing and processing of difficult clinical experiences.

  • Writing and iterative development of a "daughter-paper" as a vehicle for exploration.

    • Main Results:

    • Discovery of deep-seated submissiveness to psychoanalytic theory and its personal cost.
    • Unexpected challenges and disorientation during the writing process.
    • The paper served as a vehicle for experiencing uncertain, mingled relational dynamics.

    Conclusions:

    • Developmental transformation is a complex, often unacknowledged process.
    • Embracing authentic selves requires confronting and moving beyond ingrained theoretical conventions.
    • The study offers a model for understanding and discussing the lived experience of psychoanalytic growth.
