What is Nuts: Definition and 54 Discussions

We all know that torque consists of force and distance. If we apply torque to the center of a car wheel, the force that the tire exerts to the ground can be calculated by dividing the torque by tire radius but what about applying torque to one of lug nuts which is off center? In the above...

Greetings all, The classes in question: Statistics, Probability Theory, Abstract Algebra II, Discrete Math II, and Combinatorics. Considering the overlap between some of these courses, would it be wise to take them concurrently? If you had to remove one class, which one would it be and why...

Hi, On the internet I have seen "anti backlash nuts" Anti backlash nut example (see image), I searched on the forum but couldn't find any related topics. But it has made me interested how this should be considered as there is (in my opinion) another force namely, the Force occurred due to the...

From a cursory glance, this seems to be a commonly posed question. While, I do apologize for what may be duplication, I hope people will keep in mind that as each individual's circumstances are unique, so may the opinions & answers they engender. I am considering going back to university to...

I feel a little guilty writing this post because I'm sure there are people here who are tired of answering questions about the twin paradox, hence the FAQ post on the subject, but there's something which is still nagging me. First I have a question about the FAQ post itself. Toward the bottom of...

This is a picture my buddy sent me. There is an interstate underneath all this water. Anyone in Texas, be safe!

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew the name of the nut which has a flange or plate with a bolt pattern parallel to the direction of travel. They are often used in cnc stages. I know there are retainers for nuts that do the same function, but I am looking for the name of the nut that is...

Hello everyone, I am looking for one special type of nut (see image) for weeks without success. It is used to connect threaded part and syringe needle. This thing is driving me nuts. Is there any place to get similar ones or what is the exact name of nut in this shape? Thanks!

I'm 19 (female) but left school when I was 16 due to a number of horrible reasons. Lost someone close to me, then went through severe Anorexia up until last year. I've finally got my life back on track and feeling good about the future. In School I always gravitated towards English/History...

If I am too vague, please let me know How do computers read binary? I know that the 1s and 0s represents on and off. if I spell out "hello" in binary using lamps 0=off and 1=on and I take that and try to feed that info to my pc, well I'm going to fail because my pc has no way of handling that...

Hello everyone, I am currently trying to design some custom nuts for my bmx wheel axle but I have a few questions which I thought you guys might be able to help me with. First of all I've created an autodesk inventor model of the flange style nut I want to create but I'm not sure what material...

"A car accelerates from rest over 400 metres in 19 seconds. The driver then brakes and the car stops in 5.1 seconds with constant deceleration." Part one of the question is "calculate the acceleration for the first 400m" which went just fine: x=ut+(1/2)at^2 400=180.5a a=2.22 m/s Now the...

I have probably put around two hours into this question to no avail! 6sin2(x) - 3sin2(2x) + cos2(x)=0 I have too many fruitless attempts to bother typing them all out.. But my instincts at first told me that this looks like a quadratic equation. I have tried using the double angle...

As an aspirant scientist, physicist to be more precise, I believe it would be "normal" to be an ecologist. In fact I've always taken care of the Earth in my life since I've been taught to be respectful toward it. This means don't throw objects in nature, don't kill amphibians, don't burn...

Dating myself here. Today I was reminded of an old hobby of mine - CB Radios. When I was about 14 years old, I thought this and ham were about the coolest things in the world. So I started to learn Morse code for my ham license, got a CB radio and a decent antenna, and had at it. And man oh...

Hi, I have attached a diagram of a wye connected motor load with open neutral. The circuit shows an inverter state with a DC-bus voltage from terminal A to G (ground). The following equations should hold: V_AN = Z*Ia + Ea V_GN = Z*Ib + Eb V_GN = Z*Ic + Ec Ia + Ib + Ic = 0 Ea + Eb + Ec = 0...

I was asked this question about a week ago and I can't figure it out. I get confused in the numbers. This is not a homework question, but I am going to phrase it like one so maybe it would be easier to conceptualize. Suppose you originally had 12 employees and 4 mundane tasks to do each...

I'm embarrassed to ask, but I think this will save me some time... I'm trying to use the condition \Lambda^T\eta\Lambda=\eta to show that \Lambda_{0i}=-\Lambda_{i0}, where i=1,2,3. This is the algebraic version of the physically obvious condition that if the velocity associated with a...

I just got a call from this guy who whines and whines and whines. :rolleyes: He is a small oem that I did a job for about seven years ago. Back then he had bought twenty-year old equipment [industrial controllers] from an HP sale and then expected it to work like the new technology. Of course...

What Do You Do To Stay Healthy? It seems odd that so many of my scientifically educated brethren neglect their health, when they know as well as anyone after all the biology and chemistry classes exactly how important maintaining a healthy body is. I eat three moderately sized meals each day...

We did this experiment where we had to burn nuts. And I did not get these questions, can someone help me with them? 1) What part of the nut is burned? (is it the fat part??) 2) What is nut oil composed of?? (is it fat??) 3) Why does "nut" contain more energy than carbs or protein?? (?)

|x^2 - 2x - 3| = -(x^2 - 2x - 3), 0 <= x < 3 x^2 - 2x - 3, 3 <= x <=4 how did they get the intervals: 3 <= x <=4 and 0 <= x < 3? I cannot, for the love of God, know how they determined it. :mad:
