Structure Definition and 1000 Threads

Say I have two bodies, idealized as points with mass, in Galilean spacetime A^4. When thinking about the 2-body problem (just two bodies with interaction forces in the entire universe), one usually goes from the 3-dim. to the 2-dimensional problem using some special idea. I read the following...

If the loads are all vertical in a truss, will there be horizontal component on the hinge of the given truss? Does the presence of the horizontal component depends on the design of the truss?

Symplectic structure vs. metric structure A question about the relationship between the phase space of the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and of the Lagrangian formulation; that is, between the cotangent bundle of configuration space, T*Q, which has a natural symplectic...

My question is: can we say that QM can be expressed as a given mathematical structure? More precisely, GR can be understood easily as "something to do" with differential geometry (even though some authors, like Weinberg, prefer not even to talk about DG when talking about GR). You have your...

Homework Statement The frame must support a weight of 10kg, approximately 0.5m above the floor. The weight is suspended from the top of a vertical elipse shape, of which 1 side is missing. The bottom of the half elipse rests on a base. It looks like a slightly straighter "C" with the weight...

Figure shows the cross section of a single cell, thin walled beam with the horizontal axis of symmetry. The direct stresses are carried by the booms B1 to B4, while the walls are effective only in carrying shear stresses. Assuming that the basic theory of bending is applicable, calculate the...

does anyone know the solution of problem 9.17 of the book Aircraft structures for engineering students or help me with how to approach to solve the problem. regards,

I'm trying to use Osterbrock's book "Astrophysics of Gaseous Nebulae and Active Galacic Nuclei" to made a model of a pure Hydrogen HII region. I've got the ionization structure down, but I'm having trouble with the temperature. Can anyone recommend somewhere that shows what I should be getting?

This paper conjectures a relation between the gravitational potential and the value of the Fine Structure Constant. Although a key constant in all electromagnetic quantum and quantum field theories, accept for some numerology manipulations, the value of the Fine Structure Constant is not...

Please tell me what is the quadrupole deformation of a nucleus?

I've noticed that most animals have irises that fill the entire eye,but humans do not. Does anyone have an explanation for this? Does our sclera provide us something unique? What's the adaptive function one way or the other? This question has been bugging me for weeks. Thanks

Scientists are doing experiments to find any change in the Fine Structure constant in the past. It is dependent on the following constants. C (Velocity of Light) e (Charge of the electron) E0 (Permittivity of free space) h (plancks constant) Could you pls let me know which of the...

First post,a good begin. As far as I know,the band gap is generated from the bragg reflection at the BZ boundary.So I think we just need the special K-point at the surface of 1BZ,and also the band gap(direct or indirect) is at the special K-point on the surface. But it seems not real in most...

I am trying to calculate a photonic crystal’s band structure for a very simply case of a 1-dimentional periodic medium, or rather I am trying to understand the calculations that I am looking at for this situation. The end result of what I would like to do is get some function that I can graph...

I ve got a small question. As I have learned so far, the electron is a particle with negative charge and it is homogenouus, i mean there's no concept of structure inside an electron. But electrons have spin .. so they must have certain structure ?

Which structure will have the highest melting point?

Ok, i am investigating the electronic structure of fullerenes through Near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy and I really need to know the connection between hybridization theory and LCAO. Everywhere I look it says the carbon atoms in C60 are sp2 hybridized ( sp3 due to angle strain), but as I...

I need to write the lewis structures of two ionic compounds. Can anyone help me out? Thank you. 1) (NH4)2SO3 2) LiBH4

Hi I'm very new so I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this in. I've got a problem that I'm having trouble working out and any help would be great. 'A retracting nose wheel assembly is raised by the application of a torque T applied to link BC through a shaft at B. The wheel and arm...

From general research, I have seen a certain pattern emerge that causes me to re-evaluate how I look at the universe. It's easier to see with visuals, but I will try to describe it here. I believe some of the abstractions can lead to a better understanding of the structure of the universe, or at...

Homework Statement We are to combine the Relativistic Kinetic Energy, Spin-Orbit Interaction, and Darwin fine structure correction terms into a single formula for the energy shift in the Hydrogen atom. The formula must depend only on j = l +/- 1/2, but not l, and must be valid for all l...

I'm looking for an radial equation to find the pressure or density of the interior of a moon or rock planet. It would involve Young's modulus or Poisson's ratio or something like. Any help?

I want to ask which type of the following would have a greater repulsion electrons with parallel spin, electrons with opposite spin. or it's just the same?

Hey all, I am currently revising for my Physics mock but i can't get my head around high energy electron scattering, and the proof this provides for the size of the nucleus. I have read from a variety of texts and some of the links on here but these have lead me to become even more...

Explaining the structure of Galaxy "Filaments" Are galaxy filaments something that could be explained by the Big Bang theory, but NOT the steady state theory? What makes the scale of galaxies so special that the forms which are generated are unlike what happens in nebulas? Is the expansion...

Abstract. Theory of quantum gravity is still a mystery, as well as the derivation of fine structure constant and masses of elementary particles. (Fine structure constant is calculated from force between two elementary charges.) Possibility that elementary particles are black holes is offering...

Hey everyone, i've been a lurker here for a while now but i was wondering if the combined mind of the physics forum could help me come up with a few more solutions to this problem. I'm looking into creating a low cost composite material which would absord solar energy during the day and...

Does a quantum possesses structure or geometry? If so, how would one describe it? Does a quantum intrinsically counteract definition in spacetime?

Titanium 2+ Ion. Is it [Ar]3d^04s^2 or [Ar]3d^24s^0 I'd assume it's the former (looks more energy efficient).

The gold nucleus has an atomic mass of 197 with 79 protons and 118N and 79 electrons. The top quark has about the same mass, but no internal structure. It's just a particle with pure mass. Why would a structure of pure mass and nothing internal decay?

I've only taken high school biology and I'm actually a computer science major, but I've had an idea rolling around in my head recently and I think it might be better realized if I approach the problem from a biological standpoint. I'm sort of stuck at a particular problem that I can't seem to...

Where can I find a good course (maybe in pdf) that give me a lot of example of mechanical structure? Statical, dynamical? Thanks.

Could someone explain these two concepts? What I need is the big picture of 'why' we need this, roughly 'what' these equations mean, 'where' its used etc Thanks in advance

The Background: I'm looking to put together a 40 minute talk on the group structure of elementary particles for a group of undergraduate mathematics students many of whom know little about group theory - sort of a math talk with a physics flavor (no pun intended). So the talk would include...

-Let's suppose we have 2 gases ..one is a "Fermi" gas under an Harmonic potential and the other is a "Bose" gas under another Harmonic potential... in both cases (as an approximation) the particles (bosons and electrons are Non-interacting) then we could write the partition functions. \prod...
