What is the full text (and possibly the source) of the summary of the three laws of thermodynamics that goes something along the lines of "Can't break even, can't win and can't even stop playing the game"?

Supose that the space between the plates is filled with air : What plate separation is needed if the capacitance is to be 1710 pF? Suppose that the space between the plates is filled with air? (Dielectric constant for air is 1.00059)

Rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor : An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The plates are separated by a distance of 1.8 × 10-2 m and the charge per unit area on each plate is = 1.9 × 10-7 C/m2. How fast is the electron moving just before..

Magnetic induction vanishes on the axis of the wire : By using Ampere's circuital law, discover the magnetic induction at distance r from the center of a long wire carrying current I. Do so for both r > R and r

What would be the probability of recording measurement : A student measures g, the acceleration of gravity, carefully and repeatedly, and takes a final measurement of 9.5 m/s2. His measurements were normally distributed, with the histogram center at the accepted value of 9.8 m/s2 and with width 0.1.

Summary of the three laws of thermodynamics : What is the full text (and possibly the source) of the summary of the three laws of thermodynamics that goes something along the lines of "Can't break even, can't win and can't even stop playing the game"?

Describe acceptance ratio as percentage of accepted trials : Describe "acceptance ratio" as a percentage of accepted trials. Simulation shows that acceptance ratio is higher on higher temperature (behave as increasing function of temperature).

Decoders during environmental interaction : Quasiparticles theoretically can form braids on a 2D surface. The braids apparently are quite stable for reasonably long periods, allowing a superposition state more time before it decoders during environmental interaction. This would be a big step i..

Decide an equilibrium value for theta : A uniform heavy bar AB of length 2b rests against a smooth vertical wall at A and over a smooth fixed rod C, which is situated at a distance a from the wall. Take b>a. Decide an equilibrium value for theta.

Angle theta with the wall-find the tension in the string : A ladder of length b and weight W rests on a smooth floor and leans against a smooth vertical wall, the lower end of the ladder being attached by a string to a point on the wall a height h above the floor. If the ladder makes an angle theta with the ..
