Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier

Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier rather than just read about it. In short: Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier (Chinese: 太古城碼頭) (1980 - 1983) was a small-sized barge pier in Tai Koo Shing, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. Its location is now near Poyang Mansion (鄱陽閣), Tsui Woo Terrance (翠湖台).

Key takeaways

Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier (Chinese: 太古城碼頭) (1980 - 1983) was a small-sized barge pier in Tai Koo Shing, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. Its location is now near Poyang Mansion (鄱陽閣), Tsui Woo Terrance (翠湖台). The pier was opened in 1980 to relieve traffic congestion problems in King's Road. The Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company provided ferry services to Central and Kowloon City from there. It was closed when the Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier in Sai Wan Ho started operation in 1983.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier

In research: Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1980 establishments in Hong Kong, 1983 disestablishments in Hong Kong, Buildings and structures completed in 1980, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tai Koo Shing Ferry Pier outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
