Why Can't You Stand On Your Toes Facing a Door?

AI Thread Summary
Standing with one foot on each side of a door reveals that balancing solely on your toes is impossible due to your center of gravity being positioned forward. The toes and heels work together to maintain balance, and without the support of the heels, the center of gravity must align directly above the toes. However, the physical barrier of the door prevents this alignment, making it unfeasible. This exercise illustrates the importance of proper weight distribution for balance. Understanding these dynamics can enhance awareness of body mechanics in various activities.

Stand facing the edge of door, one foot on each side of door.You will find you are not able to stand in toes. Why??

Because the tip of your toes are a bit forward than your center of gravity and in reality you are using your toes and hills to balance yourself...so, when you attempt to not use your hills and only your toes, you would need to put your center of gravity exactly above your toes to achieve balance, but the door won't let you.
 

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...
