Doors, heart valves, and flic-flacs. Moments
Description
After explaining the principle of moments, this program shows how apparently dissimilar physical phenomena are actually mathematically similar through the examples of a synthetic heart valve, a lock gate, and the gymnastic maneuver known as a flic-flac, or back handspring. The need to make careful approximations during the modeling process is stressed.
