AI Thread Summary

In 1975, the roof of the Montreal Velódromo, weighing 3.7x10^7 N, was raised by 10 cm to achieve centralization. The work done in this process can be calculated using the formula for gravitational potential energy (GPE), which involves the weight of the object and the height it is raised. The discussion focuses on the mechanics and calculations involved in lifting the heavy structure. Machines were utilized to perform this task, highlighting the engineering capabilities of the time. Understanding the work done in this context is crucial for analyzing similar structural modifications.

not going to do your homework for you - but i'll talk you through it

what is the formula for work when lifting against gravity (gravitational potential energy (GPE))?

Thread 'Off resonance driving of a MW/RF cavity'

Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
