PROBLEM: An anharmonic oscillator exploiting this effect as a microelectromechanical system component was proposed by Serry, Walliser, and Maclay. Julian Schwinger has postulated that sonoluminescence arises due to this effect, and this effect requires that bag radius and mass are independent under a combination of the Skyrmion and MIT models, the chiral bag model of the nucleon. One setup for measuring it attached a polystyrene sphere to an atomic force microscope, and Lamoreaux used a torsional pendulum to achieve the first precise measurements of this effect. This force may produce pressures as large as an atmosphere at a separation of ten nanometers. For 10 points, name this effect arising from zero-point energy, described by the attraction or repulsion due to virtual photons between two close uncharged metallic sheets in a vacuum.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: One character in this play says she wishes she were a man, as people are always introducing her to beautiful women. A home in this play would have cost about fifteen thousand dollars when it was built, in the lawn of which is the ($) stump of an apple tree blown over by the wind. George returns from visiting his father to prevent his sister Ann from marrying Chris, because Chris's father "destroyed [her] family" by stating he had the (*) flu on a certain day, though it is later revealed he hadn't been sick in fifteen years. For ten points, identify this play centering on Larry Keller's disappearance and Steve Deever's imprisonment for selling faulty airplane cylinders, a work of Arthur Miller.

SOLUTION: Literature

PROBLEM: The last chapter is an allegory of Christianization and involves a maid becoming pregnant after eating a berry. Louhi the Hag of the North pulls down the sun and the moon, steals, fire from the titular group and promises her daughter to Seppo in exchange for his building something for her. Such animals as the demon's elk and the swan of Tuonela are killed in this book, whose second and standard edition contains fifty poems, some of which discuss Illmarinen. The major plot arc involves the mysterious object called the Sampo and mostly concerns the hero Vinminen. For 10 points, identify this Elias Lnnrot-compiled national epic of Finland.
