I'm looking to find formulas to calculate the energy stored in a spring you would find in a clock. I have been having a hard time finding formulas that govern these types of springs. I have found formula in similar springs, such as the spiral-torsion spring found here but I believe this type...

Though this topic mentions climate change, I don't think it really is about it that, strongly anyway. I've just joined and noticed a ban on climate change discussions before posing this one, I don't think this is one, but if it is, I suppose the beast must have one of it's many heads chopped...

Haha, you are both wrong and probably right all at the same time. Hence why I never acted on any idea I might have had.

That point about the 1000 degrees was only a strange condition where a very small volume of air held most of the heat energy of the system and than was allowed to do what it wanted, a thought experiment to try and help me understand what might be going on. I'm imagining temperatures of maybe a...

Reading Chestermiller's response for the fourth time (heh, thick skull), I believe he's spot on to what I want, pending any misunderstandings I have.

This discussion has been great. I didn't have time to really check out the first post and I knew right away it was not quite what I was looking for. However I thought it contained enough details I could work from, and probably still does. The following might be a big jumbled as I'm writing as...

Amazing! Give me some time to digest the equations and play with the numbers and I'll probably be back with a couple follow up questions. Thank you! :)

Maybe I used the wrong word than, what I'm looking for is the temperature at every point between the top and bottom of the container.

Hello, I am new here and took a look through the forms, if there is a better place for this question, feel free to move it there. I have been busting my noggin trying to google the answer to this problem I have. (Which isn't school/homework related) I am looking to determine an approximate...
