Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned more cows, the larger...
Problem-Solving01:29

Problem-Solving

Effective problem-solving consists of two steps: 1. identifying the problem and 2. selecting the appropriate problem-solving strategy (i.e., a plan of action used to find a solution). Humans use four problem-solving strategies:
Exponential Equations with Logarithms: Problem Solving01:29

Exponential Equations with Logarithms: Problem Solving

In ecological studies, exponential models are often used to predict how populations grow over time under favorable conditions. These models assume that the growth rate is proportional to the current population, leading to continuous and compounding increases.The model expresses the population as a function of time, combining the initial population with a growth factor raised to an exponent involving the growth rate and time. To estimate how long it takes for a population to reach a specific...
Method of Sections: Problem Solving II01:30

Method of Sections: Problem Solving II

Consider an arbitrary truss structure composed of diagonal, vertical, and horizontal members fixed to the wall. To calculate the force acting on members CB, GB, and GH, method of sections can be used. The loads and lengths of the horizontal and vertical members are known parameters, as shown in the figure.
Method of Sections: Problem Solving I01:27

Method of Sections: Problem Solving I

Consider a symmetrical roof truss structure, composed of vertical, diagonal, and horizontal members. The length of each horizontal member is 4 m. The lengths of the vertical members FB and HD are 4 m, while the length of member GC is 6 m. The loads acting at joints F, G, and H are 2 kN, while those at joints A and E are 1 kN.
Solution Equilibrium and Saturation01:59

Solution Equilibrium and Saturation

Imagine adding a small amount of sugar to a glass of water, stirring until all the sugar has dissolved, and then adding a bit more. You can repeat this process until the sugar concentration of the solution reaches its natural limit, a limit determined primarily by the relative strengths of the solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solvent-solvent attractive forces. You can be certain that you have reached this limit because, no matter how long you stir the solution, undissolved sugar remains. The...
