My research is on radar images and the images are collected in several conical surfaces. These conical surfaces have the same origin, the same maximum length (max flare or max range), but different elevations angles. The images are collected on the surface of the cones only. I want to determine...

Suppose I have a cylindrical shell of radius r, height h. I can easily express the surface as $$(r cos(\theta)) i + (r sin(\theta)) j + t k$$ $$0<\theta<2π , 0<t<h$$ For a conical surface of base rad ρ and height h, $$z=kr -> z=k, r=ρ$$ $$k=\frac{h}{ρ}$$ Then the surface is $$ \frac...

In analysing the conical pendulum, it can be shown that the period is given by T=2pi.sqrt(L.cos(phi)/g) and that therefore, g = 4.pi^2.L.(cos(phi)/T^2). L = pendulum length, phi is measured at the top of the pendulum (at the point of suspension). Graphing cos(phi) vs T^2 should produce...

I am new in Vgate software. I've tried a lot of things, but nothing works. I need to create a conical source that is 4 cm in radius and 16 cm in length. Example in photo attached

Consider a conical pendulum like that shown in the figure. A ball of mass, m, attached to a string of length, L, is rotating in a circle of radius, r, with angular velocity, ω. The faster we spin the ball (i.e., the greater the ω), the greater the angle, θ, will be, and thus, the smaller the...

I have written a solver for my thesis which determines various parameters of a conical horn antenna for astronomy application. It is done with Mode Matching Technique (MMT) and some Rumsey's integrals for the aperture free space transitions. I have made some goal functions with the solver which...

I require a small conical spring to open from its compressed pancake height of its wire diameter to a free length of 11mm > 0.2 seconds (20 milliseconds) The large end outer diameter = 7.80mm. The small end inner diameter must be greater than or equal to 2.75mm. The conical's spring's will be...

The diagram for the problem is shown alongside. In the vertical (##\hat z##) direction we have ##T \cos \theta = mg##. In the plane of the pendulum, if we take the pendulum bob at the left extreme end as shown in the diagram, we have ##T \sin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}## (the ##\hat x## axis of...

So in this instance height is longer than the 3m string which is impossible. Do we just say that when ever H>L, H=L?

My approach was that I consider the pressure of cross section A first Pa= P + dgh Now by writting Bernoulli's Equation between the cross-section A and the opening : $$ Pa + 2dgh + 2dV^2/2 = Pb + 2dV'^2/2$$ Where Pb is the pressure of the opening which is equal to the atmospheric pressure...

I read about semiconductor laser and its beam shape is conical with 50' of dispersion angle. But for me, it is hard to accept that it is conical because every single drawing I see is rectangular and the plan that laser going out is also a plain, not a hole. And this is the picture I saw...

Here is a picture of the problem. I have chosen the origin to lie in the middle of the circle around which the mass moves. I have also chosen the z axis to pass through the origin and through the vertex of the right circular cone. The x-axis and y-axis are so that one when curls his or her...

What is the method to design a Non - Telescopic, Non - Linear, conical compression spring from a Force - Deflection characteristics

So I'm doing a lab in class, and when I graphed the Period vs Length of the string, I got it in the form $T=A\sqrt{L}$, but I don't really know what the value $A$ represents nor what its unit is... Can someone help me?

Is Sphere a more generalized form of Cone i.e. formed by 2 dimensional rotation to 360° of a cone? Or is Cone a more generalized form of Sphere since sphere can be formed by rotating about Z axis a zero eccentric planar intersection of a cone? @fresh_42 @FactChecker @WWGD

Hello all, I am 100% untrained in even reading about spring making let alone making them. There's a project I want to complete though and I need to make some props involving them. I say these conical springs would be roughly the diameter of a basketball to start with (9.55") and cone to a...
