Statements:
(I) All Forces are energies
(II) All energies are powers
(III) No power is heat
Conclusions:
(I) Some forces are definitely not powers
(II) No heat is force
Show Hint
Use Venn diagrams to visualize set inclusions and exclusions for syllogism problems to determine logical conclusions.
Translate the statements into Venn diagram relationships:
- Forces are a subset of Energies, which in turn are a subset of Powers.
- Heat is completely separate from Powers (no overlap).
Analyzing the conclusions:
- Conclusion (I) is false because all forces are contained within powers; so no forces lie outside powers.
- Conclusion (II) is true because no power overlaps with heat, and since forces are within powers, no heat can be a force.
