mentor note: moved from ME forum hence no HW template. Summary:: I am stuck into this problem for almost a week now. I think I solved it, but it seems something is wrong. Can someone point me, what is wrong here. It'll be so much helpful. I am stuck into this problem for almost a week now. I...

Homework Statement:: I'm trying to figure out what miles per hour setting I need to use to simulate a pitched baseball traveling 50 miles per hour from a distance of 46 feet. I need to know the equivalent speed setting on a pitching machine to simulate the same speed at a distance of 36 feet...

I am dealing with restricted Boltzmann machines to model distributuins in my final degree project and some question has come to my mind. A restricted Boltzmann machine with v visible binary neurons and h hidden neurons models a distribution in the following manner: ## f_i= e^{ \sum_k b[k]...

Do you guys have techniques in solving for the Force in hydraulic IJ? I've been stucked for a while now and I can't seem to find the answer.The question says the answer should be = 11, 051.9516 N (T).

r = 2.5 l=10 cm angle = 0 (maximum connecting rode elongation) w = 0.5 (30 rpm) n=10/2.5 = 4 so the acceleration is 1.5×0.5×0.5(1 + 1/4 ) = 0.4 m/s friction force = 10*9.81*0.3 = 29.4 Newton. Crank force is the mass of the object into acceleration. So crank force = 10 × 0.4 = 4 Newton...

Dear friends i am using tensile test machine, tinius olsen 602 to conduct a tensile test for Glass-fiber composite. i am facing problem of using an extensometer from Epsilon (gage length is 25 mm). I have connected the extensometer to the tensile test machine(tinius olsen 602) through the...

This is a not very physics-related question, but I suppose fixing mechanical things involves a bit of physics, so I thought I might as well ask here. I have a Marcato Atlas 150 pasta machine that has stopped working. The crank won't turn because the rollers won't turn. The crank directly drives...

The first career that I tried to have was as a mechanical engineer. I majored in mechanical engineering at a university, but I failed out of the university. I've always been curious as to exactly what most mechanical engineers do most of the time. I imagine that the vast majority of the...

i have tried to understand Feynman's words i think i finally understands what he means by "we must add a little extra to get it to run" he refers to the "inversion" of the process, that's when we need to add extra work (lifting up a little mass) please correct me if I am wrong, this is something...

I have problem on this question on how to draw free body diagram. Can you please show me on how to draw free body diagram on this question ? The calculation part I think I do not have a problem with it. Thank you in advance ! I am really struggle with this question.

I am attempting to solve a rather simple induction problem in Maxwell3D that I have solved before. But this time when I run it I am getting this error and can not seem to find a solution in ANSYS? I am running ANSYS Suite 2020 R1 Thank you in advance if anyone has a possible.

Here's my attempt for part 1a: What I am not sure about is the direction, is it in the opposite direction (= - 458.37 N.m ) or it's positive? Thanks,

Suppose you have an experiment of 2 possible outcomes 0 and 1 with probabilities p and 1-p respectively. I've been told in University that Restricted Boltzmann machines (RBM) can be used to infer probability distributions so I guess that one could built a RBM in order to infer p in the example...

Say a person is infected with disease X. I suspect that it's possible for computers to learn the behavior of X via machine learning. This would lead to greater understanding of X. The unsupervised learning approach is pertinent to this. For another approach, say a new medicine Y is being...

I'm struggling with my Final Degree Project. I would like to perform a quantum simulation and perform quantum tomography for a single-qubit using a resrticted Boltzmann machine. In order to do so I'm trying to follow the recipe in the paper "Neural Network quantum state tomography, Giacomo...

What is the limiting factor for a liner and it's implosion in a Z type machine? I wonder have they tried or is it possible to use liners that have a larger radius and contain more gas or gas under higher pressure aka more dense? Are the dimensions of the liner so small because having a larger...

Hi. There has been a fair amount of research into electric generators and motors with superconductive coils. If traditional iron cores is used that obviously limits the power density because of the iron cores magnetic saturation point. But for coreless/ironless designs i don't understand what...

Summary:: Just want to know if I'm on the right track with this question. Hi, so this is what I have for my assignment: A washing machines drum is rotating rapidly about a vertical axis (a so-called toploader). A wet sock is stuck on the inside, halfway up the drum, and the drum begins to slow...

First post here, thanks in advance... It may seem like xrays aren't something to play around with at home - but that's not my intent! I just need to get some paperwork done (no, it's not homework...). Does anyone have any insight into this question - or know of an expert source I could...

I'm trying to build a Van de Graaff generator, but it does not generate any charges. The problem is, I don't know which part is accidentally shorted, or grounded. I use both PVC pipes for the top and bottom rollers. The belt is neoprene rubber, 1mm thick. The rollers are bolted on aluminum...

Now that we have quantum computing how long before someone builds an AI ML system that can predict the future?

Hi. First of all i have a question regarding a simple Atwood's machine. The pulley has no mass and the string has no mass and is inextensible. If one pulley is suspended from a fixed support and it has 2 masses ; one at either end of the string. If i construct a free-body diagram of the pulley...

Assume m2>m1 and take positive direction as downwards. String is inextensible so acceleration of block up = acceleration of block +pebble down =a I used the following 2 equations to obtain a ; -m1a = m1g - T , (m2+m)a = (m+m2)g - T which gives a = g(m+m2-m1)/(m+m1+m2) I then...

I understand everything in this equation except for the summation. I understand it's the average error over the sample. But why do we need the "1"? Moreover wouldn't the error be the absolute value of the hypothesized value minus the concept value? Meaning | h( x_i ) - c( x_i ) | because you...

I know that moment is distance vector x force vector x the degree between them. I understand it uses the moment about A to solve for the unknown force R. I don’t understand why it use Rx1.2m and why the perpendicular distance between A and R is 1.2m. could anyone please explain why? Many...

Hello, I started studying machine learning and its basics. One of the applications of supervised learning ML is classification, i.e. identifying different objects and classify them. Being supervised means that the ML algorithm is initially served labelled data. The labelled data is used to a)...

I made this 3D model of the RBMK-1000 nuclear reactor central hall about 3 years ago. But I did not model the fuel handling machine. Recently I decided to complete it by modeling the fuel handling machine.

Construct the circuit above using the block shown below. The torque was gradually increased in small steps until the load torque reached the rated torque. At each step the torque, current speed, voltage and power factor was measured and the result record in Table (1). Tn = Rated torque = 1 Nm...

How is it possible for a welding machine to end up creating more power than what it started with if that is physically impossible? For ex; 200 amp @ 28vdc welding machine. starts out with main voltage being 120v @ 20amps = 2400 watts then converts it to 200 amps at 28vdc which = 5,600 watts of...

Summary:: I have solved the question but I'm getting answers wrong, some reaction equations seems to have trouble. Question: Let m1 = 1 kg, m2 = 2 kg and m3 = 3 kg in figure. Find the accelerations of m1, m2 and m3. The string from the upper pulley to m1 is 20 cm when the system is released...

I solved for a1 prior to the force (f) being added. -a1 = a2 and T = m1*a1 + m1*g T = m2*a2 + m2*g <--substitute -a1 = a2, multiply everything by -1, add the two equations in order to solve for a1 (and thus also a2) T = m1*a1 + m1*g -T = m2*a1 - m2*g 0 = m1*a1 + m1*g + m2*a1 - m2*g...

Imagine a massless (or very light-weight) charge that is glued to a rod undergoing sinusoidal motion along an axis. The acceleration of this charge produces electromagnetic waves, which can be harvested for energy, and this energy can be used to power the continued sinusoidal motion as well as...

Maybe you can please give advice. I have a coffee roaster here in New Zealand I would like to bring to the US. It is 400 volt 3 phase 16 amp. It has a blower, a heater and computer components to run it. It is like a very large popcorn machine. Can this work in the US?

Attached is what I have so far. I believe it is done but I am not 100% sure. It seems to me like every case is considered. For each state, and output of a,b, or c is possible.

Hey! :o We have the number \begin{align*}70&6737922567786324304462189150536772513339293263220644 \\ &=2^2\cdot 3\cdot 59^5\cdot 103\cdot 149^2\cdot 353\cdot 607\cdot 823^4\cdot 1409\cdot 1873^2\cdot 4201^3\end{align*} I want to check if this is a Gödel number of a Turing machine. From...
