haruspex replied to the thread Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly.Not that that makes any difference here. -
haruspex replied to the thread Distance between a Clock's hands when the distance is increasing most rapidly.Seems reasonable to me for an ideal clock. Why do you doubt it?

haruspex replied to the thread Correct statement about random process of radioactive decay.My objection to the question is that C is only part of what it means. So yes, you can arrive at C by elimination of the offered...
-
haruspex replied to the thread Bernoulli vs real life experiment.Agreed - I only said "according to the calculation". The pump can only generate a flow by raising pressure. However, once a...

haruspex replied to the thread Bernoulli vs real life experiment.My guess is that there is some head of water providing pressure and the pump merely circulates the water at the bottom in some...

haruspex replied to the thread Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ.The trick is to handle the vertices in the right order. Which vertices will be the most problematic? Deal with those first.

haruspex replied to the thread Cone on horizontal surface.As in post #7? Am I missing something?
-
haruspex replied to the thread Cone on horizontal surface.So apply ##\vec F=m\vec a## and consider what can produce that ##\vec F##. No, I meant with the apex of the cone at the centre of the...

haruspex replied to the thread Cone on horizontal surface.Do you have to do something about the contact points? I don’t understand the question. Yes. Can you answer my questions in post #3?
-
haruspex replied to the thread Cone on horizontal surface.I assume the rotation rate is constant. What is the acceleration of the cone's mass centre? What do you deduce from that? Would it be...

haruspex replied to the thread Chain falling out of a horizontal tube onto a table.I am sorry, but I am rather snowed now. I'll try to get back to this in a day or two.

haruspex replied to the thread Modeling a graph that shows age in relation to depth of an ice sample.A smoother result can be had by interpolating with splines, e.g. cubic splines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_interpolation

haruspex replied to the thread Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors).It isn't clear to me whether reflections are considered to be the same, e.g. is YRRBB the same as YBBRR? If so, there are only four.
