Summary

Consider a normal day working as an anaesthetist. There are various phenomena that we may take for granted. These may range from the force we may exert when injecting through a syringe, the time it takes to pour honey into our porridge or the temperature of our bicycle tyre after a 60-minute cycle. The physical principles behind these phenomena make for interesting reading.
