The Northwest Ordinance officially divided the north and south by using the Ohio River as the demarcation line between slave and free states. Slavery was banned above that line. Differences emerged after the Louisiana Purchase, as the new mass of acquired lands raised the question of whether the territory should be free or slave.

When did Territorial expansion lead to an increase in sectional tensions?

Around the mid 1800s, several states tried to be admitted into the union. This caused tension between the north and south since they had such varying views on slavery. When California applied for statehood, it only exemplified the differences between the two regions since they felt so strongly on whether slavery should or shouldn't be allowed.


How did interchangeable parts and the cotton gin increase sectional differences between the north and the south?

Interchangeable parts, primarily developed in the North, revolutionized manufacturing by allowing for mass production and efficiency, which fostered industrial growth in that region. Meanwhile, the cotton gin, invented by Eli Whitney, greatly increased cotton production in the South, reinforcing the agrarian economy and reliance on enslaved labor. These technological advancements led to a stark economic divide, with the North becoming more industrialized and urbanized, while the South remained predominantly agricultural. This growing disparity contributed to increasing sectional tensions and ultimately played a role in the lead-up to the Civil War.


Between 1830 and 1860 what region of the nation changed the most dramatically overall?

The region that changed the most during this period was the Northwest. The Northeast was becoming more of a urban population because of the increase in manufacturing however, the enormous influx of immigrants that would work for a much lower wage and in sometime abysmal conditions began to push the native born population west. During this period, new transportation technologies such as canals, steamboats and ultimately railroads began to make moving west more attractive. With the advent of better transportation, white settlement increased in the Northwest because it was now easier for migrants to make the westward journey and to ship their goods back to eastern markets. In the 1840s and 1850s, the Northwest experienced a steady industrial growth. Particularly in the Cleveland area because of its proximity to Lake Erie and Cincinnati, as it became the meatpacking center in the Ohio Valley. Chicago also emerged as the national center of the agricultural machinery and meatpacking industry. Settlers who populated the southern areas of the Northwest were primarily working as farmers. The rich lands of the region made agriculture quite lucrative. The typical citizen of the Northwest was not a poor industrial worker or struggling farmer but the owner of a fairly prosperous family farm.

What happens in convergent ducts?

Convergent ducts have a decreasing cross-sectional area, which causes the flow velocity of the fluid to increase. This decrease in cross-sectional area leads to an increase in fluid pressure. Convergent ducts are commonly used to accelerate the flow of fluids.

What will happen to the resistance of a wire if it is stretched to increase its length by 4 times?

Assume that the increase in length is achieved by uniform reduction in the cross-sectional area of the wire. Then an increase in length by 4 times will result in the cross sectional area being reduced to a fifth of it original value. This will increase the resistance to five times its previous value.


Does resistance increase as the cross-sectional area of the wire?

the resistance can never increase or decrease....... (you can't open the resistor and take out the something and make the resistance increase or decrease)AnswerSince resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor, increasing the length of a wire will increase its resistance. For example, if you double its length, you will double its resistance.


Why aren't large particles of matter carried as high in the wind as the smaller ones are?

It has to the with the ratio of cross-sectional area to volume. If an object expands in size while keeping the same proportions the ratio of its cross sectional area to its volume decreases. If we assume a constant density, then the ratio of cross sectional area to mass increases as well. For example, if we take a sphere and double its diameter, its volume will increase eight times while its cross-sectional area will only increase four times. The force an object experiences from wind is proportional to its cross-sectional area while the maximum force holding it in place is usually proportional to its mass.

What wire has the greatest cross-sectional area?

The wire with the greatest cross-sectional area is typically a thick copper wire, such as that used in electrical applications, measured in American Wire Gauge (AWG). For example, a 0000 AWG (4/0) wire has a cross-sectional area of approximately 53.5 mm². In general, as the AWG number decreases, the wire diameter and cross-sectional area increase. Thus, the thickest wire in standard gauge systems will have the greatest cross-sectional area.


How did westward expansion increase sectional tensions?

Westward expansion created territories that eventually wished to become States. Every application for Statehood prior to the Civil War increased sectional tension because of the need to balance "free" and "slave" States in Congress.


Does cross sectional area affect the flow rate of water?

Yes, the cross-sectional area of a pipe or channel affects the flow rate of water. According to the principle of continuity, when the cross-sectional area decreases, the velocity of the water must increase to maintain a constant flow rate, assuming incompressible flow. Conversely, a larger cross-sectional area allows for a slower velocity while maintaining the same flow rate. Thus, changes in cross-sectional area directly influence how quickly water can flow through a given space.


Can veins store blood?

Cross sectional area of veins is four times that of arteries This large cross sectional area plus large degree of compliance (yielding to pressure) implies that large amounts of blood can be stored in the veins with only minimal increase in pressure.
