Best Answer

A wing top is an accessory that can be used with a Bunsen burner to provide a broad flat fan flame, similar to that of a fishtail burner. It is often used to bend glass as it spread out the heat over a larger area, making it more uniform.

How does an aircraft atcually get off the ground?

Simply more air pressure under the wing than over it.If you look at an aeroplane wing it has a flat underside and then a curved top. Imagine two bits of air, both are going at the same speed when they get to the wing one has to go over the top to get to the other side (the long way) the other goes underneath (the direct way). This means that more bits of air can go under the wing in any given time than over the top. The fact that more air can then go under increases the pressure under the wing so that the whole plane is experiencing a higher pressure underneath and takes off. This is known as the aerofoil effect.

What is the use of wire gauze in laboratory?

Wire gauze can be used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. When the bunsen burner flame is beneath it, with a tripod, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container.It is frequently used in combination with an iron ring and ring stand with a bunsen burner underneath it (see the Related Questions for more information about an iron ring, ring stand, and bunsen burner & tripod).A clay triangle serves a similar purpose, except that a clay triangle is used for a crucible instead.See the Web Links and Related Questions below for more information.
