Young Definition and 182 Threads

I have started a home study course in mechanical engineering, I now realize that I should have started with a math’s course but any way I have a question that I could do with some help with. A designer wishes to calculate the thickness (diameter) of a steel cable for suspending a passenger lift...

Why do so many people my age express such a dislike for country music? It's excellent music, in my opinion, yet I've noticed that saying I like country has at times earned me a badge of dislike.

Young moduls can be given as: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) but in area i am confused because sometine for cylindrical shape it is taken as 2(pi)r*L and sometime simply (pi)r^2. Please deffrientiate these cases:

Homework Statement I've been looking at Paul Langacker's "Grand unified theories and proton decay" for a course on GUTs. I'm stuck with the 16 irrep of SO(10), particularly I don't understand how to prove the statement that the 16 decomposes as 5* + 10 + 1. I can see why it's useful physics...

out of interest does cross sectional area change when a force is applied (lets say I had a wire and I applied a force to it, the wire would stretch ) does its cross sectional area change

Hi, does higher young modulus means higher rigidity of a solide? Regards,

Must a "Hot Jupiter" be relatively young? A large proportion of exoplanets so far discovered are "hot Jupiters," large gas giants orbiting very close (< 0.1 AU) to their primaries. It seems to me that a gas giant orbiting at such a close distance ought to experience significant friction as...

I remember when I was young I saw people emptying the water from their tanks using a flexible tube(without any pumps or other mechanical device). If I am not wrong, you first fill the tube with a little bit of water and make a U shape,then you close the 2 ends with your thumbs and put the tube...

Is it possible for people under 30 to have excellent credit scores? I just checked mine and it is only in the 65th percentile. With a couple credit cards and loans, I've paid all my bills on time. I think what is hurting me is average credit age. My average loan and credit age is only 5...

Hi I have a problem with the following question: A steel violin string has a cross-sectional area of 0.2*10^-6 m^2 and is under tension 83N. If its length under tension is 35cm, find its original length. I can not seem to solve the question without needing the value of young modulus...

Erm, why do you use a single slit initially? - to produce 2 coherent non-identical sources, but I don't understand why you can't just diffract the beam through the double-slits initially, I thought this would produce 2 coherent sources. Thanks in advance... =]

If you disregard the diffraction pattern, the intensity distribution of the Young experiment with light (take two slits) gives an infinite intensity (in the sense that it doesn't decrease for an infinite height: the intensity distribution is given by a cos² function with a constant amplitude)...

Hallo, maybe I should not be writing here but I need more opinions on prescribing statins to a child at age 5. We have a family heredity of high cholesterol level (my mother, both my sisters an myself and now my son). My son was firts tested at age three when I told the pediatrician that we have...

The current Young optical experiment induces interference between 2 waves when the two intermediary holes are opened and interference dissapears as soon as an active detection system is used to know by which hole the particle flied thru. Surprisingly, even when particles are sent one to one the...

Homework Statement The Young's double slit experiment is modified, as shown below, by placing a thin parallel glass plate of thickness d and refractive index n over one of the slits. Here a is the slit width in the x direction and b is the slit separation also in the x direction. The system...

in young modulus of a metal bar , we have a horizontal bar on one side we attach some weight so there is some change in angle but no change in length then why it is called young modulus?

I am pretty confused about how to construct states to make symmetric / anti-symmetric combination so I would like to ask some questions. For example, for SU(2), states of three spin-half particles can be decomposed as 2 x 2 x 2 = 4 + 2 + 2, 3 irreducible combination with dim 4, 2, 2. -if...

Hey, Sorry if this sounds mad but I have been searching for a while and I am stumped. I am not very well versed in medical knowledge. I am writing a book in which the main character is terminally ill in hospital. I just can't pick an illness and need some help. I just need some...

Is it just me or is this book complete ****? I've only read the second chapter on velocity and acceleration but it's horrible. The examples use algebraic formulas and are nothing like the assigned problems. I remember one the questions asks to find the initial velocity and initial position of a...

Homework Statement A monochromatic light source is incident normally on a diffraction grating with 600 lines per mm. The beam passes through the grating and the fringes are observed on a screen 5m away. The apparatus is then immersed in a liquid whose refractive index is 1.3. In consequence...

Long story short, I am currently an undergraduate at a public college and I, as high school-ish as it sounds, have a big crush on my former TA. He's funny, cute, and a math grad student, which is EXACTLY my 'type' but those of you who have experience with these types of guys know that they can...

Hi this is my question : people often say that there are a lot more women than men in Russia. if we look at the statistics, it is true. but now, if we look at a age pyramid, and concentrate on young populations, we see with an age pyramid, that in 2005 there is an equal male-female...

As a young future mathematician (senior in high school) I'm having trouble coming to terms with the fact that I'm not going to be the smartest kid even though I pursue math outside of class from pure interest and nothing better to do. I know its only going to get worse when I move to a...

Hi, is there anyone who can give me some good links with experiments. I want to present physics to younger pupils (end of elementary and first and second grade of high school). Thanx

I just don't get this RickRolling thing. I mean, fads usually have some sort of punchline, but this doesn't seem to. If this were an office running gag, it would be 'Ha ha I've moved your chair. You've been chair-moved!' It's the kind of joke Family Guy's Chris Griffin would love...

My young men, that is. I need to rant. <begin_rant> I just cooked a fantastic meal, main course was red snapper cooked in wine topped with tomatoes, portabella mushrooms, shallots, and then topped with cheese. I used three pounds (three pounds!) of fish filets for four people. Any leftovers...

What do you guys think about living in an RV at a young age (meaning, not retirement)? Right off, I could see the benefits: You own where you live, but it doesn't cost as much as a house. Your home is mobile. You can take more things with you when you travel (by road). You can go on...

The young's double slut experiment is pretty awesome i guess.. i never had thought that light + light could ever equal dark.. so I want to try and do the double slit experiment myself. For the slits and the curtain.. I'm thinking of using Aluminum foil into which i can cut fine slits with a...
