    Calculating mechanical eff. @ ICE

    Hi guys, I have been trying to model mechanical eff. of an ICE. I have two methods for that one using: \etam = \frac{bp}{bp+fp} where bp = brake power fp = friction power This method did not work well because of bad assumptions in fp. So I decided to calculate the...

    If all of the polar ice caps melted

    the sea level shouldn't rise? Water takes up more volume as a solid than a liquid right. So why all the fear that we will all be run over by the sea from melting polar ice cap? The sea levels shouldn't change at all right? What am I missing here?
