Lafrance, Pierre

Physics Teacher, 13, 1, 23-28, Jan 75

Explains macroscopic properties of a number of systems as averaged-out behavior of numbers of particles. The approach is applied to a model of nuclear fission, rotational velocity in a galaxy, the nature of the rings of Saturn, oscillations of the earth, drops on a spider web, and the shape of ruined Meidum pyramid.
