AI Thread Summary
To calculate the angle $\alpha$ between the red line and the horizontal, additional dimensions and a clearer sketch are necessary. The current image is deemed insufficient for accurate calculations. The book states that the angle should be 20 degrees, but without more information, it is challenging to verify this. A request for a rescan of the drawing with more details has been made to facilitate better assistance. Providing a complete image will help in obtaining a precise calculation for angle $\alpha$.

Hello everyone! I need your help with the next sketch:

View attachment 3638

I need to find the angle between the red line and the horizontal ($\alpha$). I did try everything that i could imagine but even so i couldn't find it.

According to the book, the angle should be: $\alpha=20~degrees$

How can i calculate it?

I think your picture here is cut off, and you're missing too many dimensions in the drawing for us to be able to help you out here. Could you please rescan with more of the drawing in the picture?
 
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
