Height Definition and 1000 Threads

Lets say that a man with a standing height of 185cm bent his knee 30 degrees, how many centimeters will be reduced from his standing height? Assume his femur length is 60cm and his tibia (shin) length is 50cm. Can anyone give me a hint? I've tried to use trigonometry but i don't think i fully...

Energy is always conserved, when something drops to the ground, potential energy changes to kinetic energy and as soon as it hits the ground it changes to another form of energy. If it's an elastic collision, from what I have learnt, the kinetic energy on colliding with the ground will be...

So far all I can work out is that the angle of incidence of the outer two and inner two rays is zero degrees, however, I can't work out how to get started on the problem. I feel like I need to use vertical slowness rather than the normal snell's law since I'm working with a dZ rather than a dX...

Suppose Jack and Jane are the same height, and Jack's height increases by 15% to 5.75 ft. If Jane does not grow, what is her height?Thank you in advance for your help and time.

I'm having some conceptual difficulty with this; here's what (little!) I've done so far. Suppose the distance between the centres of the Earth and the moon is ##x## and that the radius of the Earth is ##r##, and let the gravitational field strength due to the moon at the near side, far side and...

So in this instance height is longer than the 3m string which is impossible. Do we just say that when ever H>L, H=L?

The function should use (r,z,t) variables The domain is (0,H) Since U is not dependent on angle, then theta can be ignored in the expression for Laplacian in cylindrical coordinates(?)

Hi, Could I please ask for help regarding the following question. The book answer H = ( 3 - 3 sqrt(2)/4 ) L (natural length of string is L) Here is my diagram: The green level represents the unstretched string. The blue level is the string and mass in equilibrium. The purple level is the...

First, I tried solving for the total time of flight, which I got as 100 = 5cos25*t --> t=22 s Since we know the height at which the object lands, but not at which it is launched, I tried setting up the equation as: yf = 40 - y0 = y0 + 5sin25*(22) - 1/2(9.8)(22)^2 However, I got y0 = 1183 m...

I am in the process of making a tent and need to get two curved surfaces to meet. I need to find the length of a Chord of a circle given that I have the Arc length and Arc Height (that's all), no radius or anything else. I suspect that I will need a radius to find this. Or am I missing a...

Some thoughts that I've had on the question are saying the volume flow rate (##Q##) in, must equal the volume flow rate out. If that's the case, then: ##Q_{in} = Q_{out}## ##A_1V_1=A_2V_2## But... no areas have been given. And height doesn't enter this equation at all. Then I thought it...
