Rotation of Asymmetric Top01:11

Rotation of Asymmetric Top

1.0K
By definition, a spherically symmetric body has the same moment of inertia about any axis passing through its center of mass. This situation changes if there is no spherical symmetry. Since most rigid bodies are not spherically symmetric, these require special treatment.
The relationship between the angular momentum of any rigid body and its angular velocity, both of which are vectors, involves the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity only for spherically symmetric...

Anatomical Positions01:11

Anatomical Positions

16.2K
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

Archimedes' Principle01:13

Archimedes' Principle

9.1K
Archimedes' principle states that an upward buoyant force exerted on a body that is immersed partially or entirely in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it. To understand how much buoyant force is needed to make an object float, let us think about what happens when a submerged object is removed from a fluid. If the object were not in the fluid, the space occupied by the object would be filled by the fluid having a weight wfl. This weight is supported by the...

Buoyancy00:59

Buoyancy

11.0K
When an object is placed in a fluid, it either floats or sinks. All objects in a fluid experience a buoyant force. For example, a metal ball sinks, while a rubber ball floats. Similarly, a submarine can sink and float by adjusting its buoyancy.  The concept of buoyancy raises several interesting questions. For instance, where does this buoyant force come from? How much buoyant force is required to make an object sink or float? Do objects that sink get any support at all from the...

Center of Gravity00:58

Center of Gravity

5.7K
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...

Articulations of the Vertebral Column01:28

Articulations of the Vertebral Column

2.3K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Gender Studies
  • Critical Research Methodologies

Background:

  • Academic research on sex work has historically marginalized sex workers.
  • Existing power dynamics in academia create extractive research logics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze knowledge production in sex work research.
  • To critique the oppressive structures within academia using frameworks developed by sex workers.
  • To reframe sex workers' agency as essential for revolutionary knowledge creation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of power dynamics and knowledge production in academic research.
  • Application of sex worker-developed frameworks, such as whorephobia critique.
  • Examination of resource struggles (funding, authority) within academia.

Main Results:

  • Sex work research is characterized by layers of knowledge production with inherent political tensions.
  • Academia and research perpetuate oppressive structures, including whorephobia.
  • Sex workers' perspectives are crucial for challenging extractive academic practices.

Conclusions:

  • Centering sex workers' experiences and desires can lead to more sincere and revolutionary knowledge production.
  • Sex workers' agency is an advantage for transforming extractive academic logics.
  • Transformative change in academia requires acknowledging and valuing sex workers' contributions.
