Ben Arnold: Favors removal of big commercial light poles Advocates exterior facade lights to add to the night atmosphere By Ben Arnold Personal commentary I like it! Removing the big commercial light poles would also offer softer light and a warmer environment. We debated this back when we installed these decorative lights. Also, if building owners added exterior, facade lights this would add greatly to the night atmosphere on the Square. If using the new LED lights, the cost of operation would also be low. Your cost estimate for operation of current lights make this a worthy investigation. Thanks for bring it up.

Deflate-gate: A simple matter of Boyle's Law By Dr. Ben Arnold The great fanfare over the under inflated footballs in the past New England Patriots football game can be explained by physics. The Ideal Gas Law (Boyles Law) gives the relationship among gas pressure, volume, and temperature. P x V/ T = constantLets assume the Patriots' footballs were only inflated to 12.5 psi (the NFL range is 12.5 to 13.5 psi). The News report stated under inflated by 2 psi, we don't know if this was under inflated from 13 or 12.5 psi, lets assume 13, so that the balls had a reported psi of 11 psi as measured by a gauge. If the inside temperature when the balls were prepared was say 75 degrees F and the outside at game time was 50 F, we have a 25 F degree change. One little, big issue with the above equation is that temperature and pressure must be expressed in absolute units i.e. we have to translate the temps into the Kelvin scale and the baseline atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure. We have to make some more assumptions: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-01-30 15:46:33 | Comments | Printable version
