    Graduate Approximating a spring constant for an air leg

    Hi all, In short: For an air leg or air spring, there is a method using a Taylor approximation to find the spring constant for very small displacements, but I can't seem to figure out how it works. I've learned that air legs don't follow Hooke's law very much at all, except for when the...

    Archived Problem with non linear increase in voltage/amperage

    Homework Statement Please try to keep this simple, I'm only fourteen. I was testing thermometric generators and the voltage and amperage generated at with increased efficiency. I noticed that when I increase the number of generators per circuit, the voltage increase slowed and the amperage...
