Cognitive Learning
243
Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.

Self-Locking Screw
1.6K
A square-threaded screw jack is a mechanical device widely used for lifting heavy loads or applying considerable force. One of the key features that can make a screw jack more effective and reliable is its self-locking capability.
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

Theorems of Pappus and Guldinus
2.0K
The two theorems developed by Pappus and Guldinus are widely used in mathematics, engineering, and physics to find the surface area and volume of any body of revolution. This is done by revolving a plane curve around an axis that does not intersect the curve to find its surface area or revolving a plane area around a non-intersecting axis to calculate its volume.
For finding the surface area, consider a differential line element that generates a ring with surface area dA when revolved.

Principal Moments of Area
1.1K
In mechanics, the product of inertia and moments of inertia of area help to calculate the stability and performance of various structures and components. The coordinate transformation relations are used to calculate the moments and products of inertia for an area about the inclined axes. Further, the moments and products of inertia with respect to the principal axes can be determined using the moments and products of inertia about the inclined axes.

Forgetting
77
Forgetting is an intrinsic aspect of human memory, characterized by the gradual loss or inaccessibility of information over time. Hermann Ebbinghaus, a pioneering psychologist, extensively studied this phenomenon and formulated the forgetting curve. This curve illustrates that memory loss occurs rapidly immediately after learning and then decelerates over time. Several mechanisms contribute to forgetting, including encoding failure, storage decay, retrieval failure, and interference.

Newton's Law of Gravitational Attraction
549
Sir Isaac Newton established the universality of the law of gravitational attraction based on empirical evidence and inductive reasoning. He published his work in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia") on July 5, 1687.
Newton's law of gravitational attraction is a fundamental law of physics that governs the attraction between objects. It states that the magnitude of the gravitational force between any two objects is proportional to their masses and inversely...
