Thanks Bobby, Centaur. I wasn't considering a damping mechanism but Eddy Current Damping sounds relatively simple so maybe it would be fun to try.
Any comments on reducing the mass of the beam? If using a material that weighs half as much means that there's half as much energy to damp out on...
Hi,
As part of a larger hobby project, I'm building a microgram balance based on the one described at Sci-Toys.com, but I believe my questions are appropriate for the "general physics" forum.
Background: I purchased a 36" threaded steel rod, connected it to a razor, and then put it on a...
Seems like the CSS details have prevented me from posting my question clearly. I've figured it all out, as of this morning, but wanted to post a follow up to close out the thread.
CSS constrains the type of 3x3 xform matrices that can be applied in 2D. Specifically, it allows 3x3 xform...
I've attached "before" and "after" images to illustrate the image transformation.
I am currently using Mathematica's FindGeometricTransform function to get the 3x3 matrix and then I'm using Mathematica's ImagePerspectiveTransformation to transform "before" into "after". The transformation...
Hi,
I have used Mathematica to determine a 3x3 perspective transformation from one 2D image to another. Let's say that Mathematica gave me the following 3x3 matrix:
a b c
d e f
g h 1
Now, moving outside of Mathematica, I'm trying to use that perspective xform it gave me in...
