If the utility of one trader ( s ) influences the utility of another ( i. e. the latter is not selfish ) then the associated limit of the contract curve will shrink inwards, ruling out the most inequitable trades.

If planets with masses of around an Earth mass or greater form while the gas is still present, the planets are thought to transfer angular momentum to the surrounding gas in the protoplanetary disk so that their orbits spiral gradually inwards towards the primary.

If the hole is not centered exactly, the linear velocity of the stylus, instead of dropping gradually as the groove spirals towards the center, varies every revolution to be too high ( resulting in a higher pitch ) when the stylus is further out, and too low when the stylus is further inwards ( resulting in a lower pitch ).

If the stays fail the firebox will explode inwards.

If is an outward pointing in-plane normal, whereas is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane ( see caption at right ), then the orientation of C is chosen so that a tangent vector to C is positively oriented if and only if forms a positively oriented basis for R < sup > 3 </ sup > ( right-hand rule ).

If the tops of the rock units within the folds remain pointing upwards, they are called anticlines and synclines, respectively.

Consider now the acceleration due to the sphere of mass M experienced by a particle in the vicinity of the body of mass m. With R as the distance from the center of M to the center of m, let ∆ r be the ( relatively small ) distance of the particle from the center of the body of mass m. For simplicity, distances are first considered only in the direction pointing towards or away from the sphere of mass M. If the body of mass m is itself a sphere of radius ∆ r, then the new particle considered may be located on its surface, at a distance ( R ± ∆ r ) from the centre of the sphere of mass M, and ∆ r may be taken as positive where the particle's distance from M is greater than R. Leaving aside whatever gravitational acceleration may be experienced by the particle towards m on account of ms own mass, we have the acceleration on the particle due to gravitational force towards M as:

If, as generally claimed, the law does hold true for pointing with the mouse, some consequences for user interface design include:

If it is abnormally elevated, with a good history and examination findings pointing towards appendicitis, the likelihood of having the disease is higher.

If there is more than one runway pointing in the same direction ( parallel runways ), each runway is identified by appending Left ( L ), Center ( C ) and Right ( R ) to the number — for example, Runways One Five Left ( 15L ), One Five Center ( 15C ), and One Five Right ( 15R ).

If we wrap our right hand around a wire with the thumb pointing in the direction of the current, the curl of the fingers shows how the field behaves.

If this is done in such a way that, when glued together, neighboring edges are pointing in the opposite direction, then this determines an orientation of the surface.

If done too quickly, or because of poor aircraft design, the wings can be pointing up but momentum i. e. gravity, continues to make the aircraft go down.

If the wings are pointing up but the direction of travel is down the critical angle is exceeded and a high speed stall occurs.

If death in itself is final, here it comes with a lightness, a softness, also pointing to " an acceptance of process beyond the possibility of grief.

If as we follow the arrow we find more and more of the random element in the state of the world, then the arrow is pointing towards the future ; if the random element decreases the arrow points towards the past.

On Bill Clinton: " If left to my own devices, I'd spend all my time pointing out that he's weaker than bus-station chili.

* If you find a needle and it is pointing towards you, you will have bad luck ; if it pointing away from you, you will have good luck.

* If the flag is fixed at home, it is to be raised pointing towards the road.

If such a pointer is a null pointer, dangling pointer ( pointing to memory that has already been freed ), or to a memory location outside of current stack or heap bounds, it is referring to memory that is not then possessed by the program.

If the mark agrees, he must set his money down before pointing to a shell.

If that limit were exceeded, such as by pointing the camera at the sun, sun-reflecting shiny surfaces, or extremely bright point light sources, the tube detecting surface would instantly " burn out " and be rendered insensitive on part or all of the screen.

If an external force cause the stone to move to the RIGHT, the forces that the road exert on the stone would be slightly skewed to the LEFT, thus the net force from the road on the stone will be pointing UP but LEFTWARD from the sum of all of the electrostatic forces ( tilted contact force ).

A popular children's song, described in Primo Levi's If This Is A Man, goes, ‘ My hat it has three corners, three corners has my hat ; and had it not three corners, it would not be my hat .’ The song is usually sung several times in a row, each time omitting a specific word and replacing it with a gesture representing it ( for instance, pointing at one ’ s elbow whenever the word ‘ corners ’ is sung ) and mouthing the omitted word.

If M has boundary, then we insist that v be pointing in the outward normal direction along the boundary.

If the core becomes sufficiently dense, electron degeneracy pressure will play a significant part in stabilizing it against gravitational collapse.

If the observer is at a lower gravitational potential than the source, a gravitational blueshift can be observed instead.

If it exists, the graviton is expected to be massless ( because the gravitational force appears to have unlimited range ) and must be a spin 2 boson.

If the top has mass and its center of mass is at a distance from the pivot point, its gravitational potential is

If the friction and heat dissipation were not present, the Moon's gravitational force on the tidal bulge would rapidly ( within two days ) bring the tide back into synchronization with the Moon, and the Moon would no longer recede.

If the particles are falling in the viscous fluid by their own weight, then a terminal velocity, also known as the settling velocity, is reached when this frictional force combined with the buoyant force exactly balance the gravitational force.

If a cloud is massive enough that the gas pressure is insufficient to support it, the cloud will undergo gravitational collapse.

If the cloud droplets continue to grow past this size, they become too heavy to be held aloft as the gravitational force overcomes the atmospheric drag, and they fall from the cloud as rain.

If it goes somewhere else, the Newtonians argue, one must question one's measurements of the original position of the object, the exact direction of the striking object, gravitational or other fields that were inadvertently ignored, etc.

If such a planet actually existed, according to present scientific cosmology, it would be permanently hidden behind the sun but nevertheless detectable from Earth, because of its gravitational influence upon the other planets of the Solar System.

If the external gravitational field is spherically symmetric, then it is equivalent to the field of a point mass at the center of symmetry.

If the work to be done is rectilinear motion of a body with constant mass, whose center of mass is to be accelerated along a straight line to a speed and angle with respect to the centre and radial of a gravitational field by an onboard powerplant, then the associated kinetic energy to be delivered to the body is equal to

If the star expands past its Roche lobe, then the material can escape the gravitational pull of the star.

If instead of a uniform downwards gravitational force we consider

If the particles are falling in the viscous fluid by their own weight due to gravity, then a terminal velocity, also known as the settling velocity, is reached when this frictional force combined with the buoyant force exactly balance the gravitational force.

If the universe is finite in extent and the cosmological principle ( not to be confused with the cosmological constant ) does not apply, and the expansion speed does not exceed the escape velocity, then the mutual gravitational attraction of all its matter will eventually cause it to contract.

If the density of the universe is greater than the critical density, then the strength of the gravitational force will stop the universe from expanding and the universe will collapse back on itself.

If two locations have different total chemical potentials for a species, some of it may be due to potentials associated with " external " force fields ( Electric potential energy differences, gravitational potential energy differences, etc.

If supersymmetry is restored at the weak scale, then the Higgs mass is related to supersymmetry breaking which can be induced from small non-perturbative effects explaining the vastly different scales in the weak interactions and gravitational interactions.

If used over Venus for instance, the spacecraft could aeromaneuver with the lift provided by the waverider to a degree that no gravitational slingshot could hope to achieve.

If the disturbance is sufficiently large, it may lead to gravitational instability and subsequent collapse of a particular region of the cloud.
