This actually makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking. If this is the case, and the light is not intended to be mounted on a vehicle, I see at least these options for allowing it to be detachable:
- Make some sort of fixture that the light can be quickly snapped into, and...
The problem I see with this is that formula assumes that the light is the complete shape, and there is nothing else solid nearby. Unless the centroid of the light's cross-section is much higher than the roof of the car, there's a good chance that formula is going to be inaccurate due to the...
It would be necessary to specify the specific lights you are referring to (or at the very least, the shape and dimensions). Also, if you don't find your answer here, you may get a larger response in the mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering forums.
edit:
Also, in case you don't...
Hello,
I am working through Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus, and supplementing with Hestenes' other books, as well as Geometric Algebra for Physicists.
I'm not looking for advice on the books or learning materials (feel free to chime in if you have an opinion on the matter...
I just wanted to give a +1 for this book. It's short, and doesn't take much time to work through. It gives a good intuitive understanding of forms, and I would read this book to get a feel for the subject before starting a more advanced and/or rigorous study.
I liked Landau and Lifgarbagez, as well. It was my first exposure, aside from high school physics and physics I. The first chapter gave me a little trouble because I had never seen calculus of variations before, but this lecture helped me a lot. The rest of the book was smooth sailing, and a...
I'm a little late, but I'm going to post anyways in case you are still looking or anyone else is wondering. I am an undergraduate student, but I did a ton of reading on linear elasticity for a research project, and a little non-linear elasticity for fun. If you give me details on what specific...
Hi everyone,
I've been trying to find a good book on electric motors, but most of the ones I have come across feel like they're geared more towards hobbyists. It seems like one of those things we aren't really going to do much with in classes, so I'd like to study it on my own. If you could...
Hello,
I'm currently working through Hestenes' and Sobczyk's book "Clifford Algebra to Geometric Calculus." It has been slow reading because of the many skipped steps in his derivations (I'm not saying that's a bad thing), but I am rather enjoying GA/GC so far. I work through all of the...
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place or not, but this seemed like the closest match to the question.
Can anybody give me some suggestions on how/where to learn to solder surface mount components well? I know there are lots of youtube/etc videos on the topic, but I don't want to pick up bad...
Spivak's 'Calculus on Manifolds' is a multivariable calculus book similar in rigor to Spivak's 'Calculus', as is Munkre's 'Analysis on Manifolds'. You should be able to handle the first 3 chapters of Calc on Manifolds with little issue (no issue if you have some linear algebra under your belt)...
Calculus on manifolds covers the material of chapters 9 and 10 of Rudin, so if you do plan on doing both anyways you may wish to reconsider the order. Not that I'm implying that you need to read Rudin first, but that seems to be the logical order.
I'm currently double majoring in those. There's been a few threads recently where people chimed in about this, I'd do a quick search for double major/etc.
One thing to take into account is it is going to take longer than you think, another is that it is going to cost a lot more so you have...
