Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ...earth. r' = radius of moon, or other body. P = moon's horizontal parallax = earth's angular semidiameter as seen from the moon. f = moon's angular semidiameter. Now = P (in circular measure), r'-r = r (in circular measure);.'. r: r':: P: P', or (radius of earth): (radios of moon):: (moon's parallax): (moon's semidiameter). Examples. 1. Taking the moon's horizontal parallax as 57', and its angular diameter as 32', find its radius in miles, assuming the earth's radius to be 4000 miles. Here moon's semidiameter = 16';.-. 4000::: 57': 16';.-. r = 400 16 = 1123 miles. 2. The sun's horizontal parallax being 8"8, and his angular diameter 32V find his diameter in miles. ' Am. 872,727 miles. 3. The synodic period of Venus being 584 days, find the angle gained in each minute of time on the earth round the sun as centre. Am. l"-54 per minute. 4. Find the angular velocity with which Venus crosses the sun's disc, assuming the distances of Venus and the earth from the sun are as 7 to 10, as given by Bode's Law. Since (fig. 50) S V: VA:: 7: 3. But Srhas a relative angular velocity round the sun of l"-54 per minute (see Example 3); therefore, the relative angular velocity of A V round A is greater than this in the ratio of 7: 3, which gives an approximate result of 3"-6 per minute, the true rate being about 4" per minute. Annual ParaUax. 95. We have already seen that no displacement of the observer due to a change of position on the earth's surface could apparently affect the direction of a fixed star. However, as the earth in its annual motion describes an orbit of about 92 million miles radius round the sun, the different positions in space from which an observer views the fixed stars from time to time throughout the year must be separated ...

The Head of the District
Author: Rudyard KiplingPublisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
"The Head of the District" revolves around Grish Chunder Dé, a Bengali. Yardley-Orde, the District Commander of the North-West Frontier, is dying. It's a wild region, with lawless tribesmen just across the border, fanatical Mullahs instilling hatred against the English, and a blood feuding and cattle-raiding tradition. Such a district could only be governed effectively by tough fair-minded men who understood the people and commanded their respect. Then the Indian Government, in their wisdom, appointed a highly educated Bengali, Grish Chunder Dé, to succeed Orde. Bengalis are emphatically not respected by the tribesmen. Will the lawless tribesmen allow Grish Chunder Dé to rule? Joseph Rudyard Kipling (December 30, 1865 – January 18, 1936) was an English novelist, poet, and short-story writer. He wrote stories for children and poems about British soldiers in India. He was born in Bombay, in the Bombay Presidency of British India, and moved to England with his family when he was five years old.

Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny
Author: Mark SpilkaPublisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803235267
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Hemingway's Quarrel with Androgyny confronts the entrenched mystique surrounding the hard drinker, bullfighter, and creator of characters steeled by their own code. Spilka stresses Hemingway's lifelong dependence on and secret identification with women, and in doing so shatters the myths of male bonding and heroic lives of "men without women." He develops the biographical, literary, and cultural implications of Hemingway's lifelong quarrel with androgyny to reveal a more psychologically complex man and writer than the mystique has allowed.
