I was wondering how you would derive the moment and elastic curve equations for an incomplete triangular load. Say you have a pin at the left end of the beam and a roller at L/2 from the left, and a triangular load that goes from the pin and ends at the roller. I know you have to do some kind of...

Very difficult to surmise. I feel like each time an outcome occurs, it exists in its own "observable universe" like system that is part of a greater Universe. Of course this deviates a little from mathematical MWI, I believe.

So for a point mass in an enclosed shell, the net force of gravity is zero (similar to electricity in a Faraday cage I presume). However, what happens when that point mass is placed in side the ring of mass m and uniform density. Say the outer shell has radius r and inner shell has radius x, so...

Could anyone give advice as to what are some good introduction books/textbooks to read. I have been really interested in QM for a while, figure I'd go away from Wikipedia and Lectures. I am a high schooler, so something more suitable for free time would be helpful. I wouldn't mind a little...

I am a high school senior at the point in his life where I have heard back from all the colleges I applied to and have to make a decision on where to go. I plan on becoming a mechanical engineer/physicist, and have thoughts of graduate school. I am confident in three of my choices, but still the...

Can somebody explain to me exactly what Virtual Particles are (Like the Higgs Boson) and their respective virtual fields, like what properties do they possesses compared to matter? Are there anti virtual particles? If Someone could give a basic introduction, that would be greatly appreciated...

Oh, thanks! And that Space Fountain Idea sounds pretty cool.

What would happen if two large planetary masses (such as our earth) collided by their poles (ie, north hits north)? Would the repellent magnetic force be negligible compared to the masses and gravity, or would the collision be altered or averted? Also, while I am thinking about it, what size...
