Document Summary

What is the link between globalization and development: 2. Why are some nations developed while others are. Economic growth, modernization and improvement in material production/consumption these are all desirable/valued: 2. Labels such as underdeveloped/developing seen as conscious and effective means of exerting western influence and control over postcolonial societies (p. 376), i. e. , as a justification for exploitation of non-western nations. Objective measures of development: national production (gdp, per capita income, energy consumption, nutrional levels, labour force characteristics, etc. These indicators suggest a continuum for the least developed in technology or industrialization to the most developed in those and similar characteristics. (p. 377) Categories/terminology: underdeveloped/developing, newly industrializing countries (nics, first world/third world, north and south (see fig. The human development index (hdi: hdi includes three basic characteristics of development: Standard of living (gdp/capita: 2008 hdi rankings. 381-384: modernization theory, dependency theory, world systems theory. How can we best understand development: explaining development. Physical environment/geography (resources, climate, etc. : 2. (over) population, 3.

In the development of Young's double-slit experiment, a smallangle approximation (tan Î¸ â sin Î¸) was used to find the lateraldisplacements of the maxima (bright) and the minima (dark)positions. How good is this approximation? For example, what is thepercentage error for Î¸ = 10 degrees?

Water falls down a vertical pipe by gravity alone. The flow between vertical locations z₁ and z₂ is fully developed, and velocity profiles at these two locations are sketched in Fig. P10-121. Since there is no forced pressure gradient, pressure P is constant everywhere in the flow (P = P_atm). Calculate the modified pressure at locations z₁, and z_2. Sketch profiles of modified pressure at locations z₁, and z₂. Discuss.
