    Angle Crane
AI Thread Summary
The angle of heel refers to the degree to which a barge is inclined from an upright position. It is typically measured rather than calculated, often using an inclinometer installed on the vessel. Barges equipped with cranes are expected to have this measuring device to ensure stability. Accurate measurement of the angle of heel is crucial for safe operations. Understanding this concept is essential for effective barge management and safety protocols.

Can anyone tell what the angle of heel means?
(how to calculate it in a barge with a crane)

That's how far from upright the barge is inclined. You don't calculate it, you measure it. Most ships have an inclinometer on them and I'd think a barge with a crane on it would have one too. http://www.riekerinc.com/

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
