Boyle’s law is a gas law that describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of gas for a mass and temperature. This law is the mechanism by which the human respiratory system functions. Boyle’s law is equivalent to PV = K (P is pressure, V is volume, K is a constant)...
It was formulated by the English scientist Robert Hooke in 1660 while working on the designs for the balance springs of clocks. It is expressed as: {eq}F=-kx {/eq} where F is the restoring force in newton (N); k is the spring constant in newton per meter (N/m); and x is the...
So we may assert that modern discoveries in physiology have rendered obsolete the Osirian conceptions of the sexual process which interpreted chastity as physical abstinence, small regard being paid to the mental and moral concomitants of the refusal to act, still less to the physical indications. ...
