1. He should help you. 2. He should have helped you. 3. She must have taken these books. 4. You shouldn’t have done this.5. The experiment ought to be finished today. 6. You ought to have helped her yesterday.7. He needn’t have translated this article. 8. He may have come to University. 9. He may have forgotten about it. 10. This work must be done later. 11. The methods might be very complicated ones. 12. Matter may exist in any of its states: solid, liquid, gaseous. 12. All we need know is the mass of the object. 13. The method may appear rather complicated. 14. Most of these principles are to be found in more elementary texts. 15. The pressure in fluid may vary from place to place. 16. Note that all the forces have to be equal and the cube is to be in equilibrium. 17. The devices have to be mounted carefully. 18. We ought to prove the following proposition. 19. You should have installed the device in time. 20. You’d better discuss your data with your scientific adviser.
1. Although the methods by which evidence for the existence of this phenomenon may be obtained have been considered, the remaining two questions raised in Sec.1-3 have still to be answered. 2. A stream of electrons may be regarded as a large number of small bodies all moving in the same direction. 3. If there is a force between any pair of objects, we ought to be able to measure this force. 4. No further mention need be made of this elementary phenomenon.
5. It should be kept in mind that the initial force may be supplied by any of the methods discussed above. 6. In conclusion it may be stated that this experiment is in agreement with the theoretical predictions. 7. There may be times, however, when in work on some problem you have only some equations and you may not see right away what physical argument to use. 8. For our present purposes, we could have easily derived the same equations. 9. A body can do work at the expense of its internal energy which then diminishes. 10. Since these values must, by the method of observations used, represent the mean movement of large masses of the atmosphere, they do not convey any information on local wind systems. 11. It is to be emphasized that if acceleration of the particle is not a constant, but depends upon the time, then Eqs.(2-6) are no longer valid. 12. Some mistakes must have been made in assembling the parts of this machine.
13. The engineer may be determining the corresponding vibration frequency. 14. They may have discussed the problem of finding the moments of inertia of various objects. 15. That is why one must distinguish between the center of mass and the center of gravity. 16. In your report you should have made one further remark about the energy formula. 17. The velocity of a particle is to be continuously changing if this particle has nonuniform motion. 18. Since there are no frictional losses, energy ought to be conserved. 19. This equation needn’t have been applied in this case. 20. You should have verified the results before this presentation. 21. He suggested that these parts should be tested under very severe conditions. 22. It should be noted from the onset that this technique fails to give satisfactory results. 23. Which procedure should be followed depends largely on the subject of study. 24. This problem should have been solved long ago.
