Explain the Principle of Equilibrium and Free Body Diagram?

System is in the equilibrium if all the forces (external and reactional - internal) are in the equilibrium - resulting force is zero vector. Free body diagram is drawn for each body of the mechanical system. The body is disconnected from the system and contacts (sometimes called joints) are replaced by reactional forces. Then for each body equations of equilibrium can be written based on the principle of equilibrium.


Are genetic equilibrium and evolution the same?

No. Evolution is the change in allele ( different molecular forms of the same gene ) frequency over time in a population of organisms. No equilibrium there.


What is the effect of temperature on conversion value in cstr?

Temperature affects the conversion value in a CSTR in two ways: 1) it should increase the rate of conversion 2) it should shift the equilibrium of the reaction note that in shifting the equilibrium, it shifts the equilibrium of ALL reactions including side reactions which can be suppressed or promoted If the reaction is nearing equilibrium prior to exiting the reactor, the second effect can be very significant. Increasing the rate of conversion could allow faster throughput in the reactor with the same conversion - unless the effect on equilibrium shift is significant


What does equilbrium mean?

Equilibrium means balance or level.

When a body is said to be in equilibrium?

A body is said to be in equilibrium if it is at rest relative to the inertial reference frame or if the forces acting on a body are equal and opposite A body is said to be in equilibrium if its acceleration is 0 and net force is also 0

When a reaction is at equilibrium is the equilibrium constant is equal to 1?

need not be..equilibrium constant is just a ratio of relative concentrations of products (multiplication of concentration in case of more than one products) to the concentration of reactants (multiplication of concentrations of reactants in case of more than one reactants)..the equilibrium concentration can be a very small number or can be a very number as well depending upon the relative concentrations of reactants and products..Unity equilibrium constants is just a special case which shows that the concentrations of products and reactants are equal..


Types of equilibrium?

In physics there are two common types of equilibrium: static equilibrium and neutral equilibrium. Equilibrium usually is related to potential energy, for a system to be at equilibrium it must maintain the balance between the two types of mechanical energy: potential and kinetic. The first equilibrium: static means that the system is in a relatively low (relatively means that there could be lower energy but the current states is a local minimum), thus small disturbances to the system will be returned to its original equilibrium. The other type of equilibrium is neutral equilibrium, the relative energies of the system is constant, thus disturbances to the system will move the system but it will remain at the same equilibrium value, and the system makes no effort to return to its original state. Please take a look at the graph for a visualization of these 2 types.

Which evolutionary factors are responsible for the periods of relative stasis?

The environment, of course. A stable environment and there is no selection pressure on the organism so stasis results. ( according to punctuated equilibrium )


State of balance?

Biological balance may be referred to as homeostasis when it is referring to one organism. Homeostasis can be described as relative stability in the internal environment (interstitial fluid).


Does evidence support both punctuated equilibrium and gradualism?

Evidence supports a model in which periods of relative stability are punctuated by short periods of rapid (relatively speaking) change. It could, theoretically, be possible for evolution to proceed in a gradual manner. However, mathematical modelling and fossil evidence show that punctuated equilibrium is the norm.
