I'm trying to understand a bit about CP violation and how it relates to neutrino oscillation. I have a book, "Introduction to High Energy Physics" (Donald Perkins) which says that the probability of observing no change in the flavour of a neutrino is equal to that of an antineutrino of the same...

My apologies for the lack of understanding of the topic, and it may be a bit from left field, but; Is it possible that the positive and negative attributes of the amplitude of electromagnetic radiation is the same positive and negative attributes of atoms, i.e. protons and electrons. Perhaps the...

I have a three link revolute manipulator at the origin. I know all the link lengths. The joint angle for the third link is coupled to the second such that Theta3 = k*Theta2. I want to determine the joint angles (thetas) of the manipulator given that the third link should lie on a line an angle...

Homework Statement If the network layer is sending a message from A to D via B, it can be sure that a message sent by the data link layer from A to B will always arrive at B, and from B to D will always get to D. How is it possible for the network layer not to be able to correctly deliver a...

Does anyone know what theyre talking about here, link below: Too scared of the pictures to read the article, but can't stop trying to figure out what the article is about. Are they saying that it is a breed of shark, and they all look this way, or are they saying that there is one specific...

I am an amateur on physics. Lately I have been thinking about this: Is there a link between quantummechanical probabilistics and entropy? I can put it into words like this: "Entropy: The greatest possible chance that outcomes even out (are as similar as possible)." For instance: The chance...

Hello every one I am confused between two support type: the pin, and the link On the textbook, it says, the pin prevents the object from translating vertically and horzontally, therefore, it provides fx and fy reaction forces. but another type of support is much identical to the pin...

A chain consisting of five links, each of mass 0.1 kg, is lifted vertically with a constant acceleration of a = 2.5 m/s2. Find the magnitude of (a)the force on link 1 from link 2 (b)the force on link 2 from link 3 (c)the force on link 3 from link 4 (d)the force on link 4 from link 5...

Hey guys, I am currently working on a project and need to model the tubing configuration as shown in the first attachment. Experimental testing has been completed and I have detailed data for the strain and vibration velocity as required. I need to model this in ANSYS to compare the...

Present critical density of Universe rho_crit = 3 H^2 / 8 Pi G H = Hubble Constant = 2.2E-18 sec^-1 rho_crit = 8.6E-27 kg / m^3 What particle mass does this represent? The length scale associated with a quantum particle of mass m is the Compton wavelength lambda where lambda =...

Homework Statement http://www.physics.wisc.edu/undergrads/courses/spring09/248/HWSolutions/HW6Solutions.pdf My question regards to part b of the problem on the 1st page. Why is the radius to get the charge density the radius of the outer sphere and not just the radius of the cylinder...

Dear list, Imagine a table of upper surface area S sitting in an open field, with nothing on it. We know that S is subjected to a downward atmospheric pressure P due to a cylindrical column of air of volume V extending vertically from S to the end of the terrestrial atmosphere. Assume this...

Hello everyone, i just graduated from a Nigerian university with B.ed in Physics,but am more interested in becoming an aeronautic engineer. How is this possible? Though am very good with calculations (both in maths & physics) but has not had any tactical skills to that effect. I want to know...

I am designing a fusable link for the axle shafts on my atv and I am having trouble calculating the torsional strength of my fuse. I want the fuse to fail at about 80% of what the axle shaft would fail at. The axle shaft is .875 inch diameter 4140 alloy steel that has been annealed and quenched...

Is there a PCIe cable system available that attaches to a standard PCIe Board Edge Connector or Mother Board PCIe slot? I see Molex has the iPass cabling system for PCIe board to board connections. But based on the Molex connection pinning (68pins for x8 PCIe) it is more of a custom solution...

I have been using etap 7.5 demo and have been trying to model an HVDC link connected to 2 buses and conduct a load flow analysis (there is also a generator in swing mode attached to one bus and a normal transmission line connecting the two buses to satisfy the simulation requirements), but it...

Homework Statement Determine \int sec(2x) dx for interval \frac{3\pi}{8} - \frac{\pi}{2}The Attempt at a Solution I get \frac{1}{\pi/2} ln (sec(\frac{\pi}{2}x+tan(\frac{\pi}{2}x))-\frac{1}{3\pi/8} ln (sec(\frac{3\pi}{8}x+tan(\frac{3\pi}{8}x)) I am unsure how to simplify this further...

Any help is appreciated on this: This is the projection on the x-axis of a 2-bar linkage. I need to find the PDF of the end of the second link (point B) 1. Link C of length rC is pinned at the origin and its other end is pinned to link B at point C. Its length projected on the x-axis is...

Link between Thermo and Special Rel? Ok, here's the situation: my friends and I were having a sleepover, and right before we slept, we started to talk about physics (lol... what nerds we are...). I began by saying, what if we achieve absolute zero. My friends said, we already achieved absolute...

Bear with me if you've read or done a problem like this before, I just thought of it while watching the lecture on Hooke's Law http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-01-physics-i-classical-mechanics-fall-1999/video-lectures/lecture-10/ by Walter Lewin of M.I.T. and probably couldn't solve it...

My friend who thinks we were "created" keeps telling me that there's no link of a human evolving from a previous species.. Now I keep telling that there's tons of evidence in museums & whatnot, but is there any good links online that can clearly show him?

I want to interface two processing boards with PCI express x8 and connect them with cables. I find 68-pin off-board connectors for x8 connection (by molex) where as there're 98 pins for edge connectors. How do I match these 98 to 68? Are there some documents talking about this? I read PCI...

Could quantum mechanics be related to dark matter? As in new 'stuff" is being made therefore pushing the time space in between galaxies apart. Which to me makes sense as time and space is created (The Big Bang) wouldn't it be created on the quantum level? Couldnt this still be going on in the...
