A bit of polishing... girl-eigenvector to boy-eigenvector: "Of course I care. It's just that we have very different eigenvalues, and I...

Why did the girl-eigenvector and the boy-eigenvector split up? They found that they had very different eigenvalues. And they both...

No. The shape of a stress-strain graph doesn't depnd on the wire's diameter. So the breaking stress and strain are 'constants' for the...

Here's one way to look at it... For a given material, there is a unique maximum value of strain, ##\epsilon_{max}##, at which fracture...

Well (from what I've read), it depends. E.g. "A bluff charge is intended to intimidate, not to attack. A bluffing bear may run...

I ___________________________ @catedral3000, it’s worth addressing some problems with your answers to part a). From the first graph it...

The non-slipping condition is simply required to enable the cone to rotate around the vertical axis. Friction provides the centripetal...

That's a pity - I thought it [my Post #10 formulation] was quite good! How could it be improved? Yes - then the solution is nearly...

Possibly something like this... A solid right circular cone of uniform density has mass m, height h and a base of radius r. ‘V’ is the...

A line can't be perpendicular to a point. You probably meant to ask: "Aren't gravitational field lines always straight and directed...

I'll explain! In Post #24 you wrote: I looked at the link. The first (remarkable) sentence of the abstract is this: "The foremost...

My wording was very poor. It was not the intended meaning. (But I hope the intended meaning was clear from the latter part of the post.)...

I may misunderstand the issue you are indigating. But to try to answer your question... Take three conducting plates (equal sizes...

Well, I'm not sure if this answers your question but here’s a qualitative (definitely not rigorous) attempt... Thinking visually, a...

@tellmesomething, this might resolve specific issues you raised…. ‘Ground’ and ‘infinity’ are not necessarily equivalent. I believe...
