    What classic books are you reading?

    Well, I presume that I'm not the only one who is enjoying to take a rest from books, the scientific ones, and read something classical instead. As the evenings can be profoundly prolix those days, that books to do you read? You can name some of your favourite books by author, title, language...

    Understand how a low pass filter

    Hi, I'm new into this subject. I'm trying to understand how a low pass filter (where the frequency f is from 0 Hz to f_u ) for a speacker is working. The fuction for the low pass filter is \mid H \mid = U_out / U_in, that is \mid H \mid = R / \sqrt{R^2 + ( \omega L )^2} where...

    We could just aswell all be dead.

    It tends quite wicked as I think of why this thread have gotted thus long. But, as I read the responses, it gets considerably clear that you people are unable to 'understand' each other 'entirely' because you 'live' at different levels, i.e. different conceptions etc. Some people have seen...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    Ge, sorry, folks. I quess, I was thinking to confuse you, but instead I became confused myself! [Gm, it seems that I was thinking of a balance scale, but not really a balance scale... rather such a scale there 'the opposite weight' was already there... and so that you didn't really compare...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    Consider the following situation: I'm quite pissimistic today and feeling bored I'm imagining how it be if I balansed all of those 10 stacks with 10 coins in each of them in a large single stack on my head... All of a sudden I loose balance and all of the 100 coins are soon seen scattered -...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    Another hint: I have such a peculiar nature when it comes to mathematics; it is often easier for me to manage some tasks that most of the students in my class regard as arduous, and, on the contrary, I find it quite difficult to solve such tasks that are often perceived as immensely easy by most...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    And, by the way, I don't quite understand how you, Arildno, managed to do it in 3 weightings, perhaps it is just me, though. (1) First, you weighted two sets of stacks with 3 in each of them. (2) Then you weighted 3 other stacks (it is here possible to find the the desired stack). (3) It is...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    Actually, I, too, kunde icke reckon it out from the beginning. It is hard because it's so easy... It is not zero weightings though... shall I give you a hint? *HINT - POSSIBLE SPOILER* ---------- One thing that I have noticed with all of...

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    I didn't mean that Arildno's way of weighting the weights was incorrect, you can do it in 3 weightings. But there is a way to do it with less than 3 weightings.

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    I'm sorry that I wasn't able to respond earlier, my Internet was down, but your answer is incorrect.

    Brain Teaser #90: Find the False Stack of Coins

    I got this one at the last class at the end of my course in mathematics last semester... I have 10 stacks of gold coins with 10 coins in each of them, but one of these stacks of coins is false and therefore the weight is presumed to differ from that of the non-fake ones. How I am supposed to...

    A newbie question on time dilation formula

    I am happy as long as I can elaborate my thoughts and understand myself. It seems that my apprently copiusly exhuberated phlegmatic brain is unble to consentrate at this point. But, alas, it seems that you have slightly missunderstood me. Nope, I didn't wonder about the constacy of velocity...

    A newbie question on time dilation formula

    I am sorry to confuse you... (Note that I already presume that the statement bellow is a fallacious.) I was thinking (on one of those nights) about the Lorentz transformations (url: http://cmtw.harvard.edu/Courses/Phys16/l1_latex/l1_latex.html). Then, we have two reference frames, K, the one...

    A newbie question on time dilation formula

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, and I don't really consider myself as "worfy" to post here... and nor do I try to claim that Einstein was wrong (I would certainly slap myself if I did) Anyway, I have currently finished to read Relativity by Einstein (I heard that is not he best book on that...
