    Latus rectum for the non-mathematician

    I'm hoping someone can help me with this question. I'm an animator; the last math course I took was 40 years ago:bugeye:. I have an elliptical shape wherein the major and minor axes intersect off-center, so I've got an egg shape (major axis=165, minor axis =80, intersection at 100,40). I...

    How Do Rack and Pinion Gears Translate Motion in Physics?

    Thank you, blochwave. You've certainly pointed me in the right direction. In terms of what I'm specifically after, I want the the 3D user to create a pinion gear and rack (the plugin I'm writing spaces the cogs correctly), then (a) when the pinion is rotated the rack will move the appropriate...

    How Do Rack and Pinion Gears Translate Motion in Physics?

    Homework Statement I've never studied Physics, and I've run into a Physics question while writing a code for a 3D plugin. I'm making a routine which automatically creates gear trains. I've covered spur, helical and bevel gear ratios and everything works nicely, However, I've run into a brick...
