Hello everyone, A friend of mine came up with this question in class and I really do not have a good answer. Suppose you have a convex lens that has been cut in half horizontally and the top half removed. The question is: Will the bottom half of the lens still form an image? I really...

As is shown in the website http://www-sldnt.slac.stanford.edu/snowmass/Software/EvtGen/documentation/pylist.txt is the pythia particle/parton data code, could someone tell me the meaning of parameters "col" "anti" and "w-cut". Any comments are very welcome.

Homework Statement Consider the unit sphere x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} = 1 Find the volume of the two pieces of the sphere when the sphere is cut by a plane at z=a.The Attempt at a Solution My interpretation is that a is a point on the z-axis that the plane cuts at. So the height of the segment...

Got a little problem here, just want to make sure what I'm doing is right because it's a little different from anything I've done that is using the same formula initially. So there's a sphere denoted as \(\Omega\): $$x^2+y^2+z^2=R^2$$ and its cut by two planes \(z=a\) & \(z=b\) where...

Hey Guys - Long time reader, first time poster. I am attempting to develop a prototype of a new product. Part of this product will involve a good length of resitive wire that will generate heat. To accomplish this I cannibalized an electric blanket for the resistive wire and power controller...

This is from Hawking's Brief History of Time: I don't see why the black hole is cut off from the rest of the universe. The black hole is still there and it's still made of ordinary matter, just a more dense than other matter. Is it because time stops in a black hole? Or that nothing can...

Homework Statement I am after finding general geometric expressions for a quarter-circular spandrel that is split into two segments along either its domain or range (they are equal). I.e. Taking the geometry provided in the sketch below (Figure 1) I am after expressions for area and centroids...

Diatomaceous Earth is a very fine white powder, used for insect control among other things. According to my research on the webernets, it works by "cutting up" the exoskeletons of insects, and drying them out resulting in death. Because this substance works through mechanical means rather than...

Hi, i wanted to make a laser cutting device, not the big one but a small device just to cut a few mm thick paper. I just learned from a site(www.ehow.com/m/how_6692865_make-homemade-cutting-laser.html) that you can actually convert a laser pointer to a laser cutting device by rotating the...

Is it true that hair that is cut from your head (not pulled), does not contain any nuclear dna ? My understanding of hair structure is that it is a matrix with at least some dead cells present in various layers. Eg the outside cuticle is made of flattened cells . Feughelman, Max Mechanical...

Would it be possible if you would help me with a quick question, (as none of the staff here, or postgraduates can answer this question)? My group are designing a gamma ray telescope to look at nucleosynthesis in Supernovae. We have found a thing called the 'mass cut' (the separation between...

I have an arc welding plant and I realized that I am wasting energy when it is not used but powered on. Can anyone please suggest a way to get rid of this problem? That is, plant gets "active" when it is welding and is "idling" when it is not welding.

Hi , I only recently read the construction of reals from rationals. I could grasp that \sqrt{2} can be represented as the set of rationals given by {x\in Q : x2 < 2 } . As we know this set is defined purely in terms of Q. Is there a dedekind cut representation for pi as well ? I read...

Hi guys, I have to do a lot of equations in a report, and I was wondering if there is a package for Latex so that I can just cut and paste matlab/excel coding straight into Latex and it will set it out properly. i.e. so that instead of typing \frac{5+x}{4} I can just write (5+x)/4?

I was taking a lecture series this summer at my school where a professor was introducing us to introductory Galois theory. It was a very 'slack' introduction, without too much rigour. However, about a month in (only 3-4, 3 hr lectures) they stopped due to outstanding circumstances. I was a...
