Charles Link replied to the thread Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query.I computed ## \int T \, dt ##, and with what I computed, the velocity of the point of attachment is moving perpendicular to the string...

Charles Link replied to the thread Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query.Very interesting, but I need to think about it a whole lot more. With the approach that I took, the system gets balanced by an impulse...

Charles Link replied to the thread Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query.I now have a preliminary solution to the problem posed in the OP. I think you can make the assumption that the string can stretch a...

A Rod? I thought he had retired. Ask @Charles Link , he's the main Baseball guy here. -
Charles Link replied to the thread Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query.Yesterday, with @WWGD mentioning me, was the first look that I had at this thread. I read the problem in the OP, but I don't want to...

Yes. Whatever diffraction pattern you manage to produce with your source (and you can design a source to produce any pattern you want -...

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.When the diagonal is vertical, that has ## m=1 ##, and my formula for ## s ## agrees with that result, s=12/11 root(2), but it is not...

I got the maximum and one relative maximum but missed the minimum. I had the diagonal of the square vertical which gives s=12/11 root(2).

Charles Link replied to the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle.I think I have a solution to this, but I need to double-check my calculations. It was a little tricky computing the size of the square...

Charles Link reacted to bob012345's post in the thread I Geometry problem of interest with a 3-4-5 triangle with Like.
It might be interesting to consider a square inscribed in a 3-4-5 triangle. If the square must touch all three sides, what is the...

This explanation is super informative and accurate, I cannot thank you enough for this. My notes were wrong and I was so confused about it.

@eneacasucci, I'd like to add this to what @Charles Link has said. That's not what the graph shows. The graph shows the potential...
