Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying physics-related formulas that match a specific mathematical format, \(\frac{x^2}{4}\). Participants explore various formulas and their relevance to the query, while also touching on the formatting of mathematical expressions on web pages.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests any physics-related formula that fits the format \(\frac{x^2}{4}\), emphasizing that the specific variables are not important.
  • Another participant suggests the area of a circle, represented as \(A = \frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4}\), as a potential match.
  • A different participant proposes the formula for Rotational Kinetic Energy, given as \(R.E = \frac{1}{4}KR^{2}\), where \(K\) is described as the modified Moment of Inertia.
  • One participant interprets the request as seeking a string representation of the formula, mentioning the ability to format such strings into mathematical expressions on web pages and asking for clarification on how to achieve this.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present various formulas that could fit the requested format, but there is no consensus on a single formula or approach. The discussion includes differing interpretations of the original request.

Contextual Notes

Some assumptions about the relevance of the suggested formulas to the original request remain unverified. The discussion also includes a technical inquiry about formatting mathematical expressions on web pages, which is not directly related to the initial question.

Can you please give me any physics related formula that appears in this format?

[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]

Its part of a really crazy proof I am trying to do. The variables are irrelevant. Anything that looks like this would be fine!

Thanks!

How about the area of a circle

[tex]A = \frac{{\pi {d^2}}}{4}[/tex]
 
Or it could be , the Rotational Kinetic Energy of the body :

[PLAIN]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?R.E%20=%20\frac{1}{4}KR^{2}

Where K is the modified Moment of Inertia for the body.

I think the question referred to a string of char="[tex]\frac{x^2}{4}[/tex]" (obviously (x/2)**2). Some clever people can somehow turn such strings into beautifully formatted maths formula on a webpage formatted 'on the hoof' and not displayed as images.

Please can some explain how to do this as I wish to put maths equations on web pages.
