I have to find the angle of deflection caused by the rotation of the Earth on a freely hanging plumb bob at 35 degrees north latitude. I have been struggling with this, I thought I had solved it, but it is different from the answer in the back of the book, so I thought I would ask for some...

If a baseball player throws a ball a horizontal distance of 100 m at 30degrees latitude in 4s, by how much is it deflected laterally as a result of the rotation of the earth? Well I think i use the equation f = -2Ω u sinΦ where Ω is 7.29x10-5 but i am not sure where all of the...

Hi, someone asked me how light would be deflected when the sun were moving at high speed along the light ray. The simple answer is: transform in the sun´s rest frame, calculate the deflection and transform back to the observer´s frame. The result is that the deflection would be greater when...

Here's the problem: Ink-jet printers work by deflecting moving ink droplets with an electric field so they hit the right place on the paper. Droplets in a particular printer have mass 1 x 10^-10 kg, charge 2.1 pC, speed 12 m/s, and pass though a uniform 97-kN/C electric field in order to be...

An electron with a kinetic energy 5000.0 eV (1 eV = 1.602×10-19 J) is fired horizontally over a charged plate with surface charge density +2.0 μC m-2. Taking the positive direction to be upwards (away from plate), what is the vertical deflection of the electron after it has traveled a horizontal...

i need to find the expression for the vertical direction of a beam in a cathode ray tube, using: Va - accelerating voltage (between cathode &anode) Vd - deflecting voltage ly - effective length of deflecting plates L - distance from end of plates to the screen d...

I want to know in mechanics of materials what is the real objective of finding the deflections at various points in structures like 1)deflection in the end of an axially loaded bar 2)vertical deflection along the beam length 3)beam slope along the beam length 5)torsion bar twist...

if i have a bending curve eqn of w'(x) = (q/6)<x-l>^3 - ql/4 <x-0>^3 - 3ql/4 <x-l>^2 + (9ql^3)/24 suppose to find the deflection of maximum of the beam, we have to set w'(0)=0 .Am i right?? then if it is right,how can i find the value for x on which the max bending occur because i don't...

Heat Deflection Coatings? Hello all... I was wondering if there was anything I could readily use as a coating for piston heads that will reflect the heat, such as ceramics or something that could be done at home? Thanks

Hi I am in a competition where I have to use the deflection of a polystyrene beam to launch a projectile. Styrofoam is rather brittle but it is the only material we are allowed to use (it's cheap). I have a geometry all set but I was wondering if there is any possible way to treat the styrofoam...

We usually go over stuff after getting the assignments, so I have no clue how to start this question. Figure 23N-14 shows the deflection-plate system of a conventional TV tube. The length of the plates is 3.2 cm and the electric field between the two plates is 10^6 N/C (vertically up). If the...

I'm really stuck on this questions, I don't even know where to start, can anyone help me? A particle of mass m1 and velocity v1 collides with a stationary mass m2. After the collision, the two masses are deflected as shown in the diagram. Show that the angle of deflection Angle2 of m2 is...

Ok...I've struggled with this. Let's say I'm dropping a mass from height h from the Earth's surface. Since I'm considering this as a non-inertial reference frame, I understand that there is an easternly deflection. I've done the calculation and end up with...

hey, doing some revision and am getting slightly confused. When Rutherford did his experiment when did deflection occur and when did defraction occur? Is it when a alpha paticle is fired through gold foil (10^-6 thick) it defracted, and when alpha is fired through a necleus it deflected. Any...

If two cantilever beams are fixed at Left Hand Side (LHS) and joined to each other by means of a prop at RHS, how do i calculate the downwards vertical deflection of the bottom beam? The solution i need to prove is (5WL^3)/(48EI)-top deflection. However, i always seem to get a 7 where...

Hi, I am working on a project where I have an I-Beam supporting a cantilevered load. ..........W IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ///////// For ease of fabrication, I need change the cross section of this I-beam. Due to other limitations: 1. I cannot...

An electron is traveling horizontally at a speed of 8.70 x 10^6 m/s enters an electric field of 1.32 x 10^3 N/C between two horizontal parallel plates as described in the diagram. Calculate the vertical displacement of the electron as it travels between the plates. How do I go about solving...

Deflection in "Plate" Hi, question is kind of based on another problem I'm trying to solve. I'm trying to find a max force from a falling object without knowing deflection or time, but that thread is in College Homework Help, because the problem to me resembles it. Anyways, my approach to...

I'm not sure the formula to use to calculate the deflection of a beam. Here's the information I have got. Steel beam is 50 feet long. There is a 6,000 pound load in the middle(all other loads are disregarded. The modulus of elasticity is 29,000,000 psi. Moment of inertia is 850 inches^4...

an object of 3.8g moves @ 180m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field of (5x10^-5)T the object possesses a net charge of (8.1x10^-9)C by what distance will it be deflected from its pathe due to the magnetic field after it has traveled 1.0 km so I'm guessing I'll have to find out the...

I eventually want to simulate cosmic ray propagation in a random magnetic field, but will start with a particle of some charge in a uniform field. In order to simulate it, what I think needs to be done is to create a 3d array of points, with a value for the magnetic field magnitude and...

ok here's my problem(s)... I think the first one I'm missing something... it says: A particle initially moving south in a vertically downward magnetic field is deflected toward the east. What is the sign of the charge on the particle? Explain your answer with a diagram. So the way I...

When a photon is deflected by the sun will it be deflected by twice the Newonian expectation for any distance from the centre of the sun or will the difference between the deflection relativity gives and Newtonian gravity gives change with distance?

I am inquiring if anyone knows the equation for how a photon is deflected by an electromagnetic field? What is the official physical phenomenological terminology for this effect? Can a pure strong magnetic field alone deflect a photon? What is the equation that describes this effect?

When an elastic beam AB supports a block of weight W at a given point B, the deflection y_s (static deflection) is proportional to W. Show that if the same block is dropped form a height h onto the end B of a cantilever beam, the maximum deflection y_m = y_s(1 + (1+\frac{2h}{y})^\frac{1}{2})...

k, Here's the problem: An electron is accelerated horizontally from rest in a television picture tube by a potential difference of 24600 V. It then passes between two horizontal plates 6.08 cm long and 1.42 cm apart that have a potential difference of 236 V. At what angle theta (in degrees)...

Here's a lil question: If you have a rod of which an end is clamped to a table and you apply a force somewhere on the rod, what will the deflection be (in terms of difference in the height of the other end of the rod? For sure it will be proportional to the force and to some power of the...

A plastic pellet has a mass of 7.5 X 10^-10 kg and carries a charge of 2.00 X 10^-9 C. The pellet is fired horizontally betweenm a pair of oppositely charged parallel plates. If the electric field strength between the plates is 9.20 X 10^4 N/C and the pellet enters with an initial speed of 150...
