Requirement definition 1.0. Introduction For this project‚ the aim was to research different geared trolley cranes and come up with a brief outline/ design which would meet some specific design limitations. The trolley crane that we had to come up with was meant to be designed to lift and carry a load of 1.5 tonnes along I-beam of 4 metres long. The research that we did was mainly on existing trolley cranes and the configurations of these cranes which allowed us to familiarize ourselves with what

Systemization of the Trolley Problem‚ they offer many other variants to the fat man being “But this time a heavy stone is located behind the man on the side track. The man on the side track is not heavy enough to stop the trolley. The stone will block the trolley if you turn the switch. But the man in front of the stone will die.” (Bruers and Brackman 254) By implementing the stone into the situation the survey actually showed that the percentage of people switching the trolley increased up to 75%

Objectives (1) To measure the velocity and acceleration of a trolley as it descends on inclined track and is stopped by a nonlinear elastic arrester system. (2) To compare the measured acceleration‚ velocity and displacement with theoretical

Shiaa K PHIL 1020: Ethics Paper #1 Supposing I observed a runaway train at the rail-yard and if it continues hurtling in the direction it is going‚ it will kill five people. Luckily for me‚ I’m standing next to a power switch and if I pull the lever of the switch‚ the train will divert into a different track. However‚ there is one person working on this track and if I pull the switch‚ that rail worker will die. Here’s what I would do. I would in fact pull the lever of the switch to spare the

K. Dwyer The Brooklyn Dodgers (1947-1957) Brooklyn‚ one of the 5 boroughs in New York and being known as a magnet for immigrants‚ had its greatest amount of people moving into the borough during the 40s and 50s. It was the post-war era and families were sprouting all over New York. During that time the Brooklyn Dodgers were a significant part of Brooklyn and baseball history. Today the Brooklyn Dodgers remain as one of the most historical teams to ever play the game. No team could ever compare

The Trolley Problem is set up in two parts. The first part of this problem puts the reader in a passive position to choose between shoving a large person onto the track causing one person to die to save the five other people and refraining and doing nothing would allow the five to die and the one person to live. The second part of this scenario would put Frank in a very personal position to choose to do something about the situation at hand‚ or to let five people die; or deliberately push a large

What is reflection first of all. ”Reflection is an active process of witnessing one’s own experience in order to take a closer look at it‚ sometimes to direct attention to it briefly‚ but often to explore it in greater depth"(Burton 2000). Reflection is an effective methods for health

making them unable to promote/create happiness. If maximizing utility is the goal‚ there is no doubt that condemning one to save five is permissible under utilitarian principles. The loop variant of the case follows exactly as the original case of the trolley problem. Seeing as it is handled in the same manner. The death or pain of one‚ and ultimately his or her family‚ is permissible due to the net happiness and utility of five people (and their families.) Another way to think of this scenario is that
