    Chapter 3 Pressure Measurement Examples Example 3.3 A special high pressure U tube manometer is constructed to measure pressure differential in air at 13.8 MPa and 20oC. When an oil having a specific gravity of 0.83 is used as the fluid‚ calculate the differential pressure in N/m2 that would be indicated by a 135 mm reading. p − pa = m g h( gc m − f ) = (0.83)(1000) = 830kg/m 3 = = p 13.8 × 10 6 = f a RT (287)(293) g h( m − f ) p − pa = gc = 9.81(0.135)(830 − 164.11) = 881.51N/m 2 Example

    is also known as the figurate triangle‚ the combinatorial triangle‚ and the binomial triangle. Even though Pascal’s Triangle is named after seventeenth century mathematician‚ Blaise Pascal‚ several other mathematicians knew about and applied their knowledge of the triangle hundreds of years before the birth of Pascal in 1623. The Arabs‚ Persians and the Chinese discovered Pascal’s triangle in earlier centuries. The earliest depictions of a triangle of binomial coefficients occur in the tenth

    Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) France Pascal was an outstanding genius who studied geometry as a child. At the age of sixteen he stated and proved Pascal’s Theorem‚ a fact relating any six points on any conic section. The Theorem is sometimes called the "Cat’s Cradle" or the "Mystic Hexagram." Pascal followed up this result by showing that each of Apollonius’ famous theorems about conic sections was a corollary of the Mystic Hexagram; along with Gérard Desargues (1591-1661)‚ he was a key pioneer

    Pascal’s wager is a risk/benefit assessment to determine whether or not a person should believe in God. It in no way aims to prove that God exists. Unlike Descartes‚ who tries to prove God’s existence through the idea of God himself Pascal does not think such a proof can succeed. Pascal does a good job in his argument because he takes both sides into account and comes to a reasonable conclusion using mathematics. Overall‚ Pascal’s wager is preferable to Descartes’ meditations because they contain

    frequency for something to happen. Blaise Pascal is referred to as the father of probability. Pascal contributed to the branch of mathematics known as probability in 1653. Through his work in probability‚ Pascal invented the binomial coefficients which are now known as Pascal’s Triangle. Pascal’s major input to the philosophy of mathematics came with his “Of the Geometric Spirit””.1 Blaise Pascal was also a major contributor to the founding of Statistics. Blaise Pascal contributed to mathematics in many

    there must be a God or transcendent being that created the universe‚ as well as all of the nature within it due to the fact that it seems implausible for something so complex to have been created with no thought or planning. In chapter eight‚ Pascal writes‚ “…for nothing is certain‚ and that there is more certainty in religion than there is as to whether we may see to-morrow; for it is not certain that we may see to-morrow‚ and it is certainly possible that we may not see it.” I found this to

    Blaise Pascal was a French philosopher‚ mathematician‚ scientist‚ inventor‚ and theologian. In mathematics‚ he was an early pioneer in the fields of game theory and probability theory. In philosophy he was an early pioneer in existentialism. As a writer on theology and religion he was a defender of Christianity.

    Wayne Davis‚ Question 1: Describe how and why prudential arguments for religious belief‚ and in particular Pascal’s Wager‚ are affected by considerations of religious diversity. Answer: To make this point clearer‚ it may help to consider the following argument: Rationality requires either that you wager for an orthodoxly conceived monotheistic god or that you do not wager for an orthodoxly conceived monotheistic god. Rationality requires that you hold: 1. The unity of wagering for an orthodoxly
