If the weight of theoverhanging section of chain is sufficient to overcome friction, it causes the remainder of thechain to smoothly unwind from the drumThe axle diameter is 10 cm, and the width of the drum is 0.75 m. The gap between the drum andaxle is 2 mm wide, and is filled with a lubricant that has a viscosity of 0.5 kg/m-s. 1. Develop the governing differential equation for V(x), where V is the speed of the falling chain, and x is the length of chain that has unwound from the drum at any instant. 2. Obtain an analytical solution for V(x) by assuming that friction between the shaft and the drum is negligible. 3. Obtain a numerical solution for V(x) when x0 < x <

of trans-disciplinary engagement thatcould be transferred to similar contexts or efforts. We conclude the paper with an outlook on theplans for an empirical investigation of student development through this initiative.2 Theoretical framework: Conceptions and functions of empathy in the field of social workThe historical evolution of the concept of empathy has its roots in the German aesthetic idea ofEinfühlung (“feeling into” objects) introduced by the philosopher Robert Vischer in the late1800s, reflecting the “projection of human feeling on to the natural [or physical] world” (ascited in 12). Building on Vischer‟s work, in 1903, Theodor Lipps, another German Philosopherexpanded the notion of Einfühlung away from its application to

At the end of each activity corresponding to each group,a written test comprised of 10 multiple choice questions was taken to evaluate students’knowledge of the FDM 3000 operations and applications. The test scores from three groups weretabulated and illustrated below (see Table 3): Table 3: Comparison of student performance based on Group A, Group B and Group C Group A Group B Group C (Live Instruction) (Video) (The RP Simulator) S.

for relevant statistical constructs, are then presented and discussed. An analysis ofvariations in approach to teaching on the basis of a range of key variables are presented anddiscussed. Finally we provide conclusions and areas for future exploration.BackgroundThe approaches to teaching inventory (ATI) has been developed and refined over the lastdecade. It has its origins in phenomenographic studies of teachers’ attitudes to teachingand learning in the mid 1990’s. A description of the developmental history and statisticalanalysis of the instrument can be found elsewhere2, 3 .Prosser and Trigwell advance the view that there is a fundamental qualitative differencebetween a student-centric and teacher-centric view of the learning process3

averages, class rank, andstandardized test scores. However, research indicates that there are many factors affectingretention. For example, Astin4 showed that students who tend to be more engaged are morelikely to persist; further, well over half of the variation between institutions on a measure of“student engagement” can be attributed to characteristics present prior to entering college.Fostering a spirit of engagement in students who may not show that propensity may increasestudents’ chances for success, and intervention program(s) designed to increase studentengagement are certainly feasible from an institution during the first year of study. It should benoted that the majority of Astin's work is based on domestic students, thus there exists
