Extension Definition and 294 Threads

A filename extension, file extension or file type is an identifier specified as a suffix to the name of a computer file. The extension indicates a characteristic of the file contents or its intended use. A filename extension is typically delimited from the filename with a full stop (period), but in some systems it is separated with spaces.
Some file systems implement filename extensions as a feature of the file system itself and may limit the length and format of the extension, while others treat filename extensions as part of the filename without special distinction.

    Energy of springs connected in series and parallel

    For P, the force will be 2F and the spring constant will be ##\frac{k}{2}## so the extension will be 4 times, and the energy will be 8E but there are no options showing 8E What is my mistake? Thanks

    Unreadable English Wikipedia on Chrome: Browser Extension for Solution?

    The English Wikipedia page seemingly changed from using "displaystyle" to "$" with the consequence that I can't use it anymore on Chrome. It is simply unreadable. Does anyone know a good browser extension to solve the problem?

    Torque Limiting Extension Question

    Torque limiting extensions act as a torsion device by flexing once a certain amount of torque is applied onto the fastener that they are tightening down. This helps prevent from over tightening the fastener when using an impact wrench. Seems like a great tool that can speed up the process of...

    Is Galois Theory a Powerful Tool for Understanding Field Extensions?

    Proof of 84i): We assume that ##E/F## is a field extension. For each ##i##, ##F(\alpha_i)## is the smallest subfield of ##E## containing ##F## and ##\alpha_i##.

    Maximum extension in a system with two blocks separated by a spring

    the acceleration of the center of mass is ##a_{cm} = F/(M+m)## I considered the forces on the block of mass m(when the system is at maximum extension) I got the equation $$kx - \frac {mF}{(M+m)} = ma_{cm}$$ and from that I got the value of the maximum extension $$x = \frac {2mF} {k(M+m)}$$ which...

    Has the time "dimension" no spatial extension?

    It's just think that if we measure 1 second with a clock we should be able to "see" a 300'000km long piece of something in space or not ? Or does the time extension only has to be understood as a set of numbers indicating timelaps, so that there is no "geometry" of time ?

    Calculate the extension of a spring between current-carrying wires

    From what I understand, the force between two current-carrying wires can be calculated as: $$\dfrac {F}{L}=\dfrac {\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi R} $$ Doesn't this mean: $$\dfrac {F}{L}=\dfrac {\mu _{0}I_{1}I_{2}}{2\pi 1^{2}}=\dfrac {1}{2}kx^{2} $$ ? $$\dfrac {\left( 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\right)...

    When we define a limit of a function at point c, we talk about an open interval. The question is, can it occur that function has a limit on a certain interval, but it's extension does not? To me it seems obvious that an extension will have the same limit at c, since there is already infinitely...
