1. ### Convert cylindrical coordinate displacement to Cartesian

Summary: I can't figure out how the solver carries out the conversions from cartesian to cylindrical coordinates and vice-versa. I have a set of points of a finite element mesh which when inputted into a solver (ansys) gives the displacement of each node. I can get the displacement values of...
2. ### Moment of Inertia and units

Calculating moment of inertia and translating it between units, I've become confused. The example is a mass of 1kg at 2000mm from the pivot. The force is applied at 1000mm from the pivot. Basics as far as i'm aware: Moment of inertia = mass * Distance to center of rotation^2 Torque = Moment...
3. ### B How to find inverse steradian from arcmin^-2 for density of galaxy

Hello, I am using a code on EUCLID future mission. The original author of this code has set a value for the density of galaxy equal to : ng = 354543085.80106884 I think this is expressed in inverse steradian. I think that EUCLID mission has a 30 arcmin^-2 value for density of galaxies...

8. ### B Temperature Conversions

Why is that whenever we convert a temperature, say $^\circ C$ to $^\circ F$, we use $T_F = \frac{9}{5}T_C+32$, but whenever it involves a rate, say $^\circ C/m$, we only multiply by the slope of the previously given formula? I would say it's because of the latter being a rate so...
