In the 1990s, Yale discovered that it was faced with a deferred maintenance problem: the university hadn't properly planned for important renovations in many buildings. A large, one-time expenditure would be needed. How should Yale have covered these expenses? This lecture begins by applying the lessons learned so far to show why Yale's initial forecast budget cuts were overly pessimistic. In the second half of the class, we turn to the pr...more

Concepts covered in this lecture include hydrostatics, Archimedes' Principle, fluid dynamics, and Bernoulli's Equation. The buoyant foce of air on a ballon is discussed, and then Professor Lewin demonstrates how a balloon and a pendulum behave in accelerated, closed containers. The lecture ends with some non-intuitive demos shoiing how ping pong balls behave in air streams.

The course facilitates a close reading of Don Quixote in the artistic and historical context of renaissance and baroque Spain. Students are also expected to read four of Cervantes' Exemplary Stories, Cervantes' Don Quixote: A Casebook, and J.H. Elliott's Imperial Spain. Cervantes' work will be discussed in relation to paintings by Velázquez. The question of why Don Quixote is read today will be addressed throughout the course. Students are...more

The momentum of individual objects can change in a variety of ways. Professor Lewin covers a number of topics in this lecture, including impulse and thrust. An analogy is drawn between the force felt by the target of a tomato thrower, the reaction force felt by the thrower, and the propulsion (thrust) of a rocket.

This lecture is about uniform circular motion. There is a constant radial acceleration (centripetal acceleration) but constant tangential speed. Professor Lewin uses himself as an example, sitting on a chair bolted to a fast rotating turntable feeling the push and pull of centripetal force. He continues with discussion of the motion of the planets around the sun, with respect to gravitational pull, and the idea behind a centrifuge and ...more
