Resonance in action: Russian Bridge

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of resonance, particularly in relation to the Russian Bridge and its structural dynamics. Participants express confusion about sharing video links and provide guidance on how to properly format them using YouTube tags. Additional resources are shared, including a Wikipedia link that explains aeroelasticity and flutter, which are relevant to understanding resonance in structures. The focus remains on the technical aspects of resonance and its implications for engineering. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of resonance in structural integrity and safety.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Highway: Deriving speed from Doppler shift'

I passed a motorcycle on the highway going the opposite direction. I know I was doing 125/km/h. I estimated that the frequency of his motor dropped by an entire octave, so that's a doubling of the wavelength. My intuition is telling me that's extremely unlikely. I can't actually calculate how fast he was going with just that information, can I? It seems to me, I have to know the absolute frequency of one of those tones, either shifted up or down or unshifted, yes? I tried to mimic the...
