Head Definition and 411 Threads

The shaver head in the Beurer HR 8000 (rotary) is supposed to be detachable, so you can swap it with a supplied alternate accessory. But try as I might, I just could't take it off. Does anyone have this model, and have they managed to detach the head? This guy seems to have to struggle a bit...

I have a question that is bothering me. It is commonly accepted that when playing heads or tails with a fair coin and a large number of tosses are made, the probabilities of getting heads or tails are equal to 50% for each toss. However, the principle of determinism, which states that under the...

Without helmet, m = 4kg, ##v_f = 10m/s## ##\Delta t = 0.0005sec## $$ \Delta p = mv_f - mv_i $$ $$ \Delta p_{without} = 40 kg m/s$$ $$ Impulse_ {without} = F_{net} \cdot \Delta t$$ $$ force_{without} = 80000 N$$ With helmet m = 4kg, ##v_f = 10m/s## ##\Delta t = 0.002sec $$ \Delta p = mv_f -...

A vacuum pump is mounted at ground level. The pump is connected to a tree of overhead pipework at a height of 20ft, connected to the pipework are 12 hose reels that can be attached to oil drain tanks. The client requests that the pump be sized so that sufficient vacuum can be achieved to suck...

Why does dust stick to the fan blades just downstream of the rivet heads, forming a comet-tail like effect?

I am trying to mathematically prove the Static Pressure Head equation: H = p/ρg How can I prove this equation and thus determine the nature of the relationship between these variables?

Hi, I was watching a video where the following formula, for expected value, was presented for a discrete probability distribution which cannot take negative values: E[X] = \sum_{j = 1}^{\infty} P(X \geq j) and I never saw this formula before and am trying to develop an intuition for it. I am...

A pump’s power is a product of its pressure rise times volume flow rate. Commonly, a pump is specified by giving the pressure rise, or head, it can provide and the flow rate, such as in gallons per minute(GPM). But some pumps provide the user with a chart that shows how the pressure rise can...

NY Times article here. Two species of sea slug (like a snail without a shell) have been shown to be able to amputate their bodies from their heads and then regenerate the body. It is hypothesized that this is done to rid themselves of internal parasites.

I am trying to calculate head loss for a sloped pipe. I found this calculation here, which seems to be what I want..or at least a start: https://www.pumpsandsystems.com/pumps/april-2015-calculating-head-loss-pipeline My confusion/skepticism arises from the fact that the equations in the above...

Hey everyone - I run a music school and learning about how sound works is really helpful in talking about tone production, volume, and just understanding in general what's going on. As part of that,. I'm looking for a pattern that I could print on a drum head that would show how the head moves...

I am scratching my head on the problem but cannot figure out what to do. I tried in the following way:- For (9) _ _ _ _ _ . The middle place is fixed means only 1 way there. For the first place 9 ways (excluding 0) , second place (9 ways again because 9 digits are left excluding 9 and 0). Third...

Is it because of increase in pressure on my blood vessels due to cold weather outside?

i've this question that i can't seem to work out an answer. supposing that a (centrifuge) pump transfer an amount of energy (power) p to a column of water height h so that it maintains that as a static head. i.e. the water level in that tube is at a fixed height h due to the power transferred...

Hi All, I considered filing a patent for this invention, but instead decided to publish it so people could use it to advance the state-of-the-art in drums. You don't need to add tape or pillows to your drum heads to muffle the overtones. Using tape or pillows also kills the strike of the...

I have long found myself turning my head fairly quickly when a noise steps on something I'm trying to hear. Sometimes it is just a noise like a bang or a pop that steps on a conversation I'm listening to, and sometimes it will happen when another person starts to speak and interferes with a...

Say that these pictures are accurate. Personally, I think I can solve this problem, but the issue is, that I had a debate on it with my Physics teacher. This is how my teacher would solve it; my teacher says that each Fk on each side is constructed from half of F and Fx. So, F = 2 * Fk * sin...

Hi, I just hit my head on the top of my car door as I was leaving my car; the hit hurt my head a lot and I am worried that I received a concussion. However, I read that most concussions require more than 65 Gs of force to be classified a concussion which is why I am wondering if someone here...

Hi, I have a rainwater collection system where we have to pump water to the main cistern during a rain event. The system works great the way I have designed it and the rainwater is awesome to use in the house and water the plants and grass. The length of pipe I pump the water is almost 300...

The researchers associated with this bird claim it has different dance moves,and that the bird has innovated new dance moves over time. The video is halfway down the article, if you want to cut to the chase...

See attached image I experienced yesterday that when the slotted screw driver head was exact fit to the slotted screw, it was easier to turn the screw into the hard wood. I'd like to understand the physics of it. Is the bottom (in the picture) easier to turn because there is even contact...

I am not really worried about the numbers, but more about the simple concepts with head loss in these pipe flow questions. I want to confirm that head loss just means the change in static head, right? I have been advised that for a problem like this, it is nothing more than the conservation of...

Let's keep things simple. I have pure water. pH = 7. I want to add a buffer. I add the weak acid. It dissociates little. So the pH is still close to neutral. So far so good. The problem is, we are also adding conjugate base (the conjugate base is strong). Why doesn't the added base consume the...

I have looked all over the net and can only find descriptions of how to use a dividing head, followed by countless numerical examples. There must be someone on PF who can give a short algebraic description of the way they work. Machinists as a whole, don't seem to want to present the topic in a...

Hi, I am here again. Sorry if this thread is not that related here in this field. I just want to ask, if I have to build a micro hydropower scheme in a wastewater of a hotel, what net head is suitable to use? (Sorry, I can't construct a clear sentence).

No, I didn't climb a statue. :-p I drove up to Asheville NC today via a slow route and stopped at Caesars Head State Park just before crossing the state line. 180° panorama from the overlook:

Hello, The explanation for this, min 0:54 is that you have Fe2O3 in the match head, and after burning it, pure iron is obtained 2 Fe2O3 + 3 C -> 2 Fe + 3 CO2 I think the chemical explanation is fine, but I don't understand why Fe2O3 is added (as colorant, if the red phosphorus is already...

Hi all, Quick question: What do you guys use as your reference for minor head loss coefficients (k). I'm sure those with more experience have their own database/excels of k values found over the years. I have been personally using a combination of my Hydraulic Engineering Textbook and Google...

Homework Statement When a soccer ball is kicked toward a player and the player deflects the ball by "heading" it, the acceleration of the head during the collision can be significant. Figure 2-38 gives the measured acceleration a(t) of a soccer player's head for a bare head and a helmeted head...

Hello! In an experiment (I don't have the details) the predicted head loss in a circuit of pump and pipes was higher as the flow rate increased, than the actual head loss (pressure differential). Can you tell me please what could result in that? What systematically acting factor created an...

I was wondering why the head has it's own inertia during whiplash when the person is rear ended by another car? I thought that the head would be moving forward also because it is part of the system of the chair being impacted to move forward?
