(UFV - 1996) 

ASTROLOGY: Fact or Fiction?

Scientists have for many years denounced astrology as unscientific, and there is no doubt that many so-called astrological "facts" are nonsense. But the question still remains, is there perhaps some truth in what astrologers say?

Some years ago two French psychologists found evidence for a marked relationship between people's personality and the position of certain planets at the moment of their birth.

Personality questionnaires were sent out to more than 2000 men and women without prior selection; when they were returned, the birth dates were noted and the results were put through a computer. Many astrological predictions about the relationship between personality and birth dates did, in fact, begin to emerge very clearly. Hence three main groups were selected for special study, namely sportsmen, actors and scientists. Astrological expectations had suggested a connection between the competitive, assertive personality of the sportsman and the "war-like" planet Mars. Similarly the scientist, reserved and serious, had been connected with the "grave" planet Saturn, and the social, expansive nature of the actor was linked with the "jovial" planet Jupiter.

Much to the surprise of everyone, the remarkable conclusion of the research showed that people of a certain group actually were born "under" a particular planet: sportsmen under Mars, scientists under Saturn and actors under Jupiter. By "under" is meant that they were born just after the rise of the planet or just before it set. To calculate these coincidences the place of birth of the people concerned had to be known, as well as the precise time of day when they were born.

One further fact emerged very clearly from this research and that was that people who were born under the "water signs" of Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio showed a marked tendency to be very emotional - thus confirming another claim made by astrologers.

According to the text, to calculate which planet a person was born under, the astrologer needed to know:

(Fuvest 1996) Dois vagões de massa M₁ e M₂ estão interligados por uma mola de massa desprezível e o conjunto é puxado ao longo de trilhos retilíneos e horizontais por uma força que tem a direção dos trilhos. Tanto o módulo da força quanto o comprimento da mola podem variar com o tempo. Num determinado instante os módulos da força e da aceleração do vagão de massa M₁ valem, respectivamente F e a₁, tendo ambas o mesmo sentido. O módulo da aceleração do vagão de massa M₂ nesse mesmo instante, vale

(Fuvest 1996) Um corpo C de massa igual a 3 kg está em equilíbrio estático sobre um plano inclinado, suspenso por um fio de massa desprezível preso a uma mola fixa ao solo, como mostra a figura a seguir. O comprimento natural da mola (sem carga) é L₀ = 1,2 m e ao sustentar estaticamente o corpo ela se distende, atingindo o comprimento L = 1,5 m. Os possíveis atritos podem ser desprezados. A constante elástica da mola, em N/m, vale então
