Pole Definition and 363 Threads

Hello, In the same frame of reference and using the same coordinate system , the magnitude of mechanical torque depends on the position of the center of rotation (pole): the lever arm distance varies depending on where the pole is. For static equilibrium situations, the net torque is zero so...

If someone was sliding down a vertical pole (like a firefighter) would only friction need to be considered to find out how fast the person is "falling" or is there also normal force from where the person is touching the pole, and would that affect the person's speed down? (I am ignoring air...

I'm working on a public area audio system where we need to install our horn speakers on big height as per their installation requirements. We designed a metal pole as described: Pole consists of two poles: 1) a 7.5 meters height, 10" diameter, 6mm thickness. 1.5 meters are to be buried...

Hello, I read that Golgi Apparatus when examined below the electronic microscope, appears a network of fibrils either apical or perinuclear. And it is apical when the Golgi apparatus is between the secretory pole and the nucleus in secretory cells. I don't know what exactly is the "secretory...

I'm trying to understand the difference between these two when it comes to measuring the amount of time they take. As of right now, my current understanding is that pole relaxation is based on the amount of time that it takes for polarization of the charges to go back to its relaxed state. For...

Homework Statement i know problems of this kind have been posted a lot but i have a few of my own questions please take a look at them thanks i am having several conceptual errors in rotational dynamics one of them is : since the rod is massless must there be net zero force and torque...

Hi I am trying to understand the figure 2 I have attached to this post. From text: Ok, I get that the air-gap flux density varies in a sinusoidal manner, because the air gap length is not constant i.e. non-constant reluctance and hence non-constant magnetic flux density. What I do not...

Lenz's law shows that dropping a magnet through an aluminum pole will cause an induced current that slows down its fall drastically. I found a website that talks about this a little: https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/TTT-slowfall/slowfall.htm It has the following question: I don't see any...

So the circle minus the pole is homeomorphic to the number line. Does that mean that the pole itself represents a number that doesn't exist on the real line? After all, the pole certainly exists and yet is the only point that isn't mapped.

From time to time I like to chat with flat Earthers and help them clear up their confusion. Today I came upon a question I couldn't answer, and since it is summer, I couldn't ask a professor. Would two people, on two separate planets, holding one pole, feel a push from the other...

Hi. Since there haven't been observed magnetic monopoles so far, what exactly do we mean when we talk about the north/south pole of a magnet? Is it something like "north is where the field lines exit a solid body" and "south is where they enter" or is there a more rigorous definition?

The pole masses of the heavy quarks (c, b and t) are relatively well defined in QCD (i.e. the solution of m²(p²) = p² extrapolated using the beta function and the available data from other values of µ usually obtained based upon model dependent decompositions of hadron masses that include these...

Hi, I was wondering if some kind soul could explain to me why salient pole machines are preffered in hydropower? From what I've read salient pole machines are preffered for applications with "low" rpm, while non-salient poles are used for applications that runs at higher rpm. O What is the...

Ok, I've spent lots of hours browsing the web and the library and still this question is burning. How can i calculate, whether it be experimentally or theoretically, the " pole strength" of a magnet. (I have read about the experiment where you divide the work it takes to turn a magnet around a...
