Wedges01:24

Wedges

A wedge is a simple machine that serves various purposes, such as adjusting the elevation of structural or mechanical parts, providing stability for heavy objects, and splitting a body into two parts. This versatile tool can amplify an applied force, making it easier to manipulate large or heavy objects.
Consider using a wedge to lift a heavy slab. Here, the wedge functions by converting the applied force into a much larger force directed almost perpendicular to the initial force. This...
Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines01:21

Boundary Conditions: Lossless Lines

Consider a single-phase, two-wire, lossless transmission line terminated by an impedance at the receiving end and a source with Thevenin voltage and impedance at the sending end. The line, with length, has a surge impedance and wave velocity determined by the line's inductance and capacitance.
At the receiving end, the boundary condition states that the voltage equals the product of the receiving-end impedance and current. This relationship is expressed as a function of the incident and...
Electrostatic Boundary Conditions01:16

Electrostatic Boundary Conditions

Consider an external electric field propagating through a homogeneous medium. When the electric field crosses the surface boundary of the medium, it undergoes a discontinuity. The electric field can be resolved into normal and tangential components. The amount by which the field changes at any boundary is given by the difference between the field components above and below the surface boundary.
The surface integral of an electric field is given by Gauss's law in integral form and is related to...
Area Problem01:26

Area Problem

Determining the area of a region with straight edges is straightforward, as geometric formulas for rectangles, triangles, and polygons can be applied directly. However, traditional geometric methods are insufficient when a region has a curved boundary, such as the area under a function.fromThe area problem involves finding a systematic way to measure such regions. One approach to solving this problem is through approximation. Instead of attempting to compute the area exactly at the outset, the...
Area Between Curves: Problem Solving01:27

Area Between Curves: Problem Solving

A region can be enclosed by three curves: a square root function, a reflected cube root function, and a linear function. The linear function intersects each of the other two curves, and these intersection points determine where the boundary of the enclosed region changes. Because different curves serve as the upper and lower boundaries in different parts of the graph, the area cannot be found using a single setup over the entire interval.To compute the area, the region is first divided into two...
One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation01:24

One-Compartment Open Model: Wagner-Nelson and Loo Riegelman Method for ka Estimation

This lesson introduces two critical methods in pharmacokinetics, the Wagner-Nelson and Loo-Riegelman methods, used for estimating the absorption rate constant (ka) for drugs administered via non-intravenous routes. The Wagner-Nelson method relates ka to the plasma concentration derived from the slope of a semilog percent unabsorbed time plot. However, it is limited to drugs with one-compartment kinetics and can be impacted by factors like gastrointestinal motility or enzymatic degradation.
