How to hang a very large plate I have a beautiful ceramic
plate I would like to hang on
a wall, but I can't find a
device capable of holding such
a large plate. The plate is
22" in diameter in 4" deep. It
weights about 20 lbs.
I have spent hours searching
the net and I have found
plenty of plate holders, but
none that hold a plate this
large.
Does anyone know of a device I
can buy? Or is there something
I can make?
Some restrictions:
* I don't want to glue
anything to the plate
* I don't want to build a
shelf on the wall
I am essentially looking for a
solution similiar to the
standard wire hangers made to
use small plates.
Any help is greatly
appreciated!

What about two large rubber coated hooks, like for hanging bicycles, you can place one at 4 o clock, and one at 8 o clock, you will need a stud finder, or very small nails to find the studs in the wall. Also it might be a good idea to check for electrical wires, there is a similar decice to a stud finder for that purpose.... Since the screws will go deep. I would opt for either a black or white one to compliment the plates colors. |

What causes plate tectonics, What causes plate tectonics,
in other words what causes the
plates to move?

Earth’s center, or core, is very hot, about 9000 degrees F. This heat causes molten rock deep within the mantle layer to move. Warm material rises, cools, and eventually sinks down. As the cool material sinks towards the Earth’s core it is warmed and rises to the top again. This type of movement is called a convection cell. We used to assume that Earth’s plates just surfed on top of the mantle’s giant convection cells, but now scientists believe that the plates themselves play an important role in the convection process. How can plates play an active part in the convention process instead of just surfing along? Just like convection cells, plates have warmer, thinner parts that are more likely to rise, and colder, denser parts that are more likely to sink. New parts of a plate rise because they are warm and thin. As hot magma rises to the surface at spreading ridges and forms new crust, the new crust may actively push the rest of a plate out of its way. This is called ridge push. Old parts of a plate are likely to sink down into the mantle at subduction zones because they are colder, thicker and denser than the warm mantle material underneath them. This is called slab pull. |

What is the charge Q on the A parallel-plate capacitor
with plates of area 420 cm2 is
charged to a potential
difference V and is then
disconnected from the voltage
source. When the plates are
moved 0.3 cm farther apart,
the voltage between the plates
increases by 100 V.
(a) What is the charge Q on
the positive plate of the
capacitor?
(b) How much does the energy
stored in the capacitor
increase due to the movement
of the plates?
