AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving geometry problems involving triangles and pyramids. The first problem involves calculating the square of the intersection surface between a plane and pyramid SABC, with a proposed solution of 2a^2 / 3√3. The second problem, which is more complex, requires finding the square of the intersection surface formed by a plane and pyramid SABC, with the user struggling to determine the height of trapezium NMHE. Clarification is sought on whether MH represents the height of NMHE. The conversation highlights the challenges of geometric calculations and the need for precise definitions in problem-solving.

Hello! see if you can get the results same as me ):
Triangle ABC with AB=AC=a, BAC=90 deg. SA is perpendicular to plate (ABC) @ A. SA=a, also! In SB: ES=2EB. H is in plate (SBC) so that AH is perpendicular to plate (SBC). Plate alpha consists of AE and perpendicular ro plate SBC. Figure out the Square of the intersection surface between alpha and Pyramid SABC.
I got it as 2 a^2 / 3 root3. I'm quite doubtful, about you?

Thanks :-)

That was easy, but the thing I got suck is the second problem: Triangle ABC with B=90 deg, AB=BC=a. SA is perpen to plate (ABC) @ A; SA=a.root3. M is a random point in AB. E is the midpoint of SC. Let MB=x.
I 'm done with the first request: Prove that a plate alpha consists of ME and is perpen to plate (SAB) will always consist of a definited line (I got it out as EH with H is midpoint of SB)
The second one where I got stuck: Figure out the Square of the intersection surface made by alpha and pyramid SABC. I got the surface is NMHE (MN is parallel with BC, N belongs to AC) but I still can't calculate out the height of trapezium NMHE?

Oh wait, for the second problem, is MH the height of NMHE?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
