Applied Definition and 1000 Threads

Hi, I'm currently a computer science student in my third year. I'm thinking about switching to applied math since I've ended up more interested in math, but I'm not sure whether this will limit my opportunities in the software industry. I've taken almost all of the computer science classes for...

How's the current job market for Applied Physics? Anyone with an applied physics degree(BS, MS, PhD) on here want to comment? It seems from reading some of the posts in this sub-forum that the overall job market for pure physics or mathematics isn't very good and people are having to apply to...

Hello, I would like to ask if its possible to apply pressure through fluid on a curved soft tissue such as silicon to measure the strain by using sensors (and what kind) such as shows in the attached image? If those were pressure sensors would they all show the same pressure or would the change...

Hello everyone. I've been asked the following question by someone and I'm not quite sure which is the correct answer. I'd appreciate some help with it. The question is pretty simple: When can't be Gauss's law applied? 1. When the electric field of a point charge is dependent on the angles...

Hello guys, I've had the following discussion at work: We are currently using a suture with a nylon thread on a tissue, when the thread of the suture is tightened in a force equal to if we've put a 500 gram weight on both ends of the suture line (meaning both end are tied together to the...

Background: I completed my undergraduate degree in physics, from a reputed liberal arts college, a couple of years ago, and wrote a capstone senior thesis on experimental condensed matter project. Along the way, I took plenty of match classes, falling only one class short of a math major. My...

In a purely capacitive ac circuit, we get, Im = Vm*ω*C, ...(1) Where, Im = Amplitude of the current Vm = Amplitude of the voltage Now, what I think is, We know that in a purely capacitive circuit, voltage lags behind current by a phase difference of ∏/2 rad. So, at any time 't', I = Im...

In a closed loop when we apply an applied force on an object the object starts at point A and stops at point A. Since the displacement is 0, Work done by the applied force on the object is = F x s x cosθ...

Let's say there is two tubes(cylinders with no tops or bottoms) with charges ##q_1## and ##q_2##, radii ##b_1## and ##b_2##, lengths ##l_1## and ##l_2##. These tubes are located along the axis of each other's surfaces like in this figure: I know I have to use Coulomb's law rather than Gauss law...
