Hello guys, i`m currently making simulation of 2 dimension rolling disk on elastic sin/cosine plane. I`m just wondering if the theory applicable.
I Hertzian contact theory on sin and cosine plane
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on simulating a two-dimensional rolling disk on an elastic sine/cosine plane. Participants seek clarification on the definition of a sine/cosine plane to ensure a useful response. The simulation involves a solid disk interacting with an elastic cosine surface. There is confidence expressed in the applicability of Hertz's theory to this scenario. The conversation concludes positively, affirming the theoretical foundation for the simulation.

What is a sin/cosine plane? We need a definition/description here before there can be a useful answer.

I cannot see any reason to doubt the applicability of Hertz' theory here.

its settled then ! thank you 
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...
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused.
> Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin.
Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
Dear all,
in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows.
I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...
