Constraint Relations Homework: Acceleration of Block
Referring to the diagram: The Perpendicular distance from the pulley to the axis of the ring is say a constant L. The part of the string that is being pulled (variable) is say y. The movement of the ring on the X-axis is also changing (variable) and we take it as x. Now, using the...- ron_jay

Undergrad What is the formula of ellipse in 3D space
what about (x^2/a^2) + (y^2/b^2) + (z^2/c^2)=1 ? (intuitive) However, the equation of a circle in 3D is always defined by the equation of a sphere and the plane which cuts it. The sliced portion is the required circle. So it may be a similar case with the ellipse. Something like one half of a...- ron_jay

C/C++ How to Create a Spiralling Algorithm in C++ for Printing Patterns
This one is a little tricky because the numbering starts from the center. I have already figured out how to do this when the numbering starts from the top left hand corner (recursion) using "virtual motion analogy" (that's what I like to call it).However,looping with for or while is clumsy...- ron_jay

Projectile Motion of shot cannon ball
Yeh, the question is not very clear...when a golf ball is hit, its distance is naturally going to increase from the origin, then where does the maximum angle come in?- ron_jay

What is the speed of the bat gaining on its prey in m/s?
At first the frequency received by the prey is: \nu' = \nu (\frac{v-v_{L}}{v-v_{S}}) Now, as you said correctly, the wave is reflected back and the the source and listener interchange to give us this i.e. the bat becomes the listener and the prey the source of the reflected sound wave...- ron_jay

Physics: doppler effect (observer & source in motion)
Is this what you get on simplifying the above equation? f'=f(\frac{v+v_{obs}}{v-v_{s}} ) Try not to apply the equation directly. Since, the frequency is received by the car at that moment t_{0} surely the sound wave of that frequency which we have to find out must have left some time...- ron_jay

How to Generate a Specific Matrix Pattern in C Programming?
The first one is quite simple: Given the size of the array as 5, You have to put the "x" in the boundary of the square and on the right diagonal. condition for printing right diagonal: if(r==c){print "x"} condition for printing boundary: if(r-1==-1||r==n-1||c==0||c-1==-1){print "x"}...- ron_jay

What is the Doppler's Effect Problem with a Moving Car and Reflected Sound?
Frequency of reflected wave: \nu'=\nu (\frac{v+v_{L}}{v}) Now, the source and listener interchange as the sound wave is reflected:(as received back by operator) \nu''=\nu'(\frac{v}{v-v_{L}}) \nu''=410 Hz \nu=400 Hz Plugging in the values we get 3m/s solving for...- ron_jay
