Deviations of falling bodies

The Orbits of Freely Falling Bodies.

The Southerly Deviation of Falling Bodies

In the work of previous writers on the subject of this paper the potential function used for that of the earth's gravitational field of force has, in general, not been more than a first approximation, i. e., a development, in the neighborhood of the initial point of the falling body, which includes terms of only the first order in the independent variables. The circle of reference (parallel of ...

Orientation of long bodies falling in a viscoelastic liquid

New experiments on the orientation of a cylinder settling in viscoelastic and pseudoplastic fluids are described in an attempt to identify the main mechanisms which control the orientation of the cylinder as it falls.

Deviations of Ergodic Sums for Toral Translations I. Convex Bodies

We show the existence of a limiting distribution D of the adequately normalized discrepancy function of a random translation on a torus relative to a strictly convex set. Using a correspondence between the small divisors in the Fourier series of the discrepancy function and lattices with short vectors, and mixing of diagonal flows on the space of lattices, we identify D with the distribution of...

The Role of Security in Social Deviations

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of security in social deviations among women of Babol city. Descriptive survey research method was used and the unit of analysis is 15-29 year old women that 284 women are selected on the basis of Cochran formula and using multi-stage random cluster sampling. The results show that there is a weak significant relationship between the independent v...
