So in high school i studied the small oscillation of a simple pendulum with no air resistance. It reaches harmonic oscillation when the angle is small enough, so it is an approximation right? But what happens if the angle isn't small, will it still oscillate and how? According to energy...

I think it reaches its maximum efficiency when it is two continuous Carnot process. Its efficiency then will be H= 1-(W1+W2)/(Q1+Q2), with W1/Q1>=T2/T1 and W2/Q2>=T3/T2 therefore H<= 1- (Q1.T2/T1+Q2.T3/T2)/(Q1+Q2), that is as far as i can go, have not got a result yet

Summary:: If you rub against each other two sheets of paper, one of which contains text, they become electrified. The electrical pattern that is formed on the clear sheet may be analyzed later to restore the text, depending on the way the text was created. Propose and build a setup to recover...

I couldn't prove the first one but i tried to find the period F = -dU / dx = - d( U0tan^2( x / a ) ) / dx = - U0 ( ( 2 sec^2( x / a ) tan( x / a ) / a ) with F=d^2x/dt^2, tan(x/a)=x/a we have d^2x/dt^2 + U0 ( ( 2 sec^2( x / a ) ( x / a^2 ) =0 from there i don't know how to handle the...
