    Quantum Mechanics / Uncertainty Principle Question

    I see... thanks, I understand in theory. But we weren't actually given a wave function. So is it just a thought experiment or something?

    Quantum Mechanics / Uncertainty Principle Question

    Homework Statement The square of a wave function gives the probability of finding a particle at a given point. What is the probability of finding an electron in a 1s orbital within a volume of 1pm^3, centred at: a) the nucleus b) 50pm away from the nucleus? Homework Equations...

    Fluid Dynamics Question - Pressure Difference in Horizontal Pipe

    Homework Statement The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) carries around 100,000m3 of oil per day from the Northern Alaskan oil fields to the nearest ice-free port of Valdez, around 1300km away. The pipe has an outer diameter of 1.22m and a wall thickness of 12mm. Eleven pumping stations...

    Engineering How to Design a Circuit for Calculating Hamming Distance?

    Homework Statement You are to design a circuit that calculates Hamming distance between two 5-bit numbers. It takes two 5-bit binary numbers A4A3A2A1A0 and B4B3B2B1B0 as inputs and reurns the number of bits that are different between the two numbers as binary output O2O1O0. For example...

    Floating Point Notation Question

    Thanks for your reply mfb! So I have a bunch of statements that look like this: M3 = B6 IF B6=1, OR B5 IF B6=0 AND B5=1, OR B4 IF B6=0 AND B5=0 AND B4=1, OR B3 IF B6=0 AND B5=0 and B4=0 I can combine some parts of it into shorter expressions that could be a part of a Sum-of-Products... ie...

    Floating Point Notation Question

    Hi everyone! I'm very new to combinational logic design and this is a question on an assignment that we've been given. This particular situation wasn't covered in lecture material so I've been Googling and trying to think abstractly about it but I'm pretty stuck for an approach. And I'm not...

    Simplification of Boolean Expressions

    Thankyou CompuChip, I realized by drawing the truth table that they are they same! And as I was drawing the truth table, you replied Nascent, so thank you too! I didn't think of doing that - VERY new at this (only a few lectures into the course). Thank you so much :) It was driving me nuts!

    Simplification of Boolean Expressions

    Hi guys - I am really new here and am taking a very very elementary course in Logic circuits/Boolean algebra. We have been given a couple of simplification questions and I was convinced I had used all the theorems correctly but two of us got two different answers and we can't find who has gone...
