*BIO While browsing books on neurophysiology, you come across a book published in 1967 by Soviet neurophysiologist Nikolai Aleksandrovich Bernstein, The Co-ordination and Regulation of Movements, in which he describes a technique to determine the mass of a part of the human body if the position of the center of mass of that body part is known. His technique for determining the mass of the forearm is described as follows: The person lies on a support board, as shown in Figure P8.57. Two readings of the scale are taken: first with the forearm held in position 1 (
(a) First, without deriving the expression, evaluate it to see if it is reasonable. Are the units correct? Is the sign of the expression positive? Are qualitative dependences reasonable? (b) Now derive the expression. (c) Why do you think it is important to place the support board on knife edges instead of rigid blocks?

- You want to fabricate a soft microfluidic chip like the one below. How would you go about fabricating this chip knowing that you are targeting a channel with a square cross-sectional profile of 200 μm by 200 μm. What materials and steps would you use and why? Disregard the process to form the inlet and outlet. Square Cross Sectionarrow_forward1. What are the key steps involved in the fabrication of a semiconductor device. 2. You are hired by a chip manufacturing company, and you are asked to prepare a silicon wafer with the pattern below. Describe the process you would use. High Aspect Ratio Trenches Undoped Si Wafer P-doped Si 3. You would like to deposit material within a high aspect ratio trench. What approach would you use and why? 4. A person is setting up a small clean room space to carry out an outreach activity to educate high school students about patterning using photolithography. They obtained a positive photoresist, a used spin coater, a high energy light lamp for exposure and ordered a plastic transparency mask with a pattern on it to reduce cost. Upon trying this set up multiple times they find that the full resist gets developed, and they are unable to transfer the pattern onto the resist. Help them troubleshoot and find out why pattern of transfer has not been successful. 5.
