Thanks for the interesting link! However, that's not where I was going with this research idea. So, I'm still okay :) haha.

To keep things simple for most of us, including myself, what if I think of some simple ways to create my own propulsion system. Scaled Composites uses a Hybrid Rocket Motor for the propulsion behind their SpaceShipTwo. It's an assembly of a solid rocket booster and I believe the solid fuel is...

Very cool and exciting! I had a blast watching this. Thank you for the nice video. :)

Research Proposal: Sub-Orbital & Orbital Flight Path *Brain-storm Ideas With Me* *Light "imagineering" should be okay on this thread. I don't require anything that technical, mostly just ideas.* I'm in a technical writing class which is giving me the opportunity to work on grant...

We are learning the divergence theorem tomorrow :\ I'll get back to you on that one. Lol.

The integral over the surface S of Vector field F dotted with dA

Yup. I got the right answer. Thank you for sparking something so simply. Have a good day.

Flux is the amount of "something" passing through a surface. Hmmm. If divergence = flux/volume, can I just take the volume of the sphere with radius 0.01 and multiply it by the flux divergence of 5? That sounds right to me.

Homework Statement A smooth vector field F has divF(1,2,3) = 5. Estimate the flux of F out of a small sphere of radius 0.01 centered at the point (1,2,3). Homework Equations Cartesian Coordinate Definition of Divergence: If F= F1i + F2j +F3k, then divF=dF1/dx + dF2/dy + dF3/dz The...

Yes. Shortly after the post, I was able to solve this problem. Anyways, thank you for your help.

Homework Statement F = 2i + 3j through a disk of radius 5 in the plane y = 2 oriented in the direction of increasing y. Calculate the flux of the vector field through the surface. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know that I need to calculate the area vector...
