RMS Lusitania

Examples of RMS Lusitania in the following topics:

• American Neutrality

  • The American public increasingly came to see Germany as the villain after news of atrocities following the invasion of Belgium in 1914 and the 1915 sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania by a German U-Boat, in defiance of international law.
  • In February 1915, the U.S. warned Germany about misuse of submarines, but on May 7, Germany torpedoed the Lusitania, resulting in the loss of 1,198 civilians, including 128 Americans.
  • This British propaganda poster urging participation in World War I shows the RMS Lusitania sinking in the background.
  • 1915 painting depicting the sinking of the Lusitania by the German U-Boat U-20.

• Neutral Rights and Submarines

  • On May 7, Germany torpedoed the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania, resulting in the loss of 1,198 civilians, including 128 Americans .
  • 1915 painting depicting the sinking of the Lusitania by the German U-Boat U-20.
  • This British propaganda poster shows the RMS Lusitania in the background.
  • Analyze how the Allied and German blockades, Germany's use of U-boats, and the Lusitania incident interfered with America's stance of neutrality.

• An Idealist's Diplomacy

  • The U.S. maintained neutrality, despite increasing pressure placed on Wilson after the sinking of the British passenger liner RMS Lusitania with American citizens on board .

• America's Entry into the War

  • Opinion changed gradually, partly in response to German atrocities in Belgium and the RMS Lusitania, partly as German-Americans lost influence, and partly in response to Wilson's position that America had to play a role to make the world safe for democracy.

• Moral Imperialism

  • Above all, American attitudes towards Germany focused on the U-boats (submarines) that sank the RMS Lusitania in 1915 and other passenger ships without warning.

• Computing R.M.S. Error

  • RMS error measures the differences between values predicted by a model or an estimator and the values actually observed.
  • Root-mean-square (RMS) error, also known as RMS deviation, is a frequently used measure of the differences between values predicted by a model or an estimator and the values actually observed.
  • RMS error is simply the square root of the resulting MSE quantity.
  • We can find the general size of these errors by taking the RMS size for them:
  • In general, about 68% of points on a scatter diagram are within one RMS error of the regression line, and about 95% are within two.

• Root Mean Square Values

  • The root mean square (RMS) voltage or current is the time-averaged voltage or current in an AC system.
  • ,xn} , the RMS value is given by this formula:
  • The RMS over all time of a periodic function is equal to the RMS of one period of the function.
  • The RMS value of a continuous function or signal can be approximated by taking the RMS of a series of equally spaced samples.
  • Similarly, you can find that the RMS current can be expressed fairly simply:

• Initial Reactions

  • On May 7, 1915, a German submarine sank the British liner Lusitania, killing 1,198 people, 128 of them Americans .
  • 1915 painting depicting the sinking of the Lusitania by the German U-Boat U-20.

• The Root-Mean-Square

  • However, using the RMS method, we would square every number (making them all positive) and take the square root of the average.
  • This is useful for electrical engineers in calculating the "AC only" RMS of an electrical signal.
  • Standard deviation being the root-mean-square of a signal's variation about the mean, rather than about 0, the DC component is removed (i.e. the RMS of the signal is the same as the standard deviation of the signal if the mean signal is zero).
