Finding the fourier series coefficients for cos(pi)x for unit periods

AI Thread Summary
To compute the Fourier series coefficients for cos(πx) over the interval from -1/2 to 1/2, the correct formula must be applied. The discussion highlights a user initially struggling with the calculations but later resolving the issue independently. The community encourages sharing full calculations to identify errors. Ultimately, the user successfully figures out the solution without further assistance. This emphasizes the importance of thorough calculation checks in Fourier analysis.

Hi all,

How do I compute the Fourier series coefficients for unit periods for cos(pi)x, the interval is from -1/2 to 1/2. I know the formula but I am getting a wrong answer ?

hi kakolukia786! :wink:

show us your full calculations, and then we'll see what went wrong, and we'll know how to help! :smile:
 


I was able to figure it out myself. Thanks anyways
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
