AI Thread Summary
The projector in a cinema theater can be positioned in various locations, including the top left corner, center, or top right corner of the wall. However, the optimal position depends on the alignment with the screen and viewer seating. Adjustments can be made if the projector's lens system allows for offset positioning while maintaining parallel alignment with the film and screen. Techniques similar to those used in large format cameras can help correct for perspective issues. Proper placement is crucial for achieving the best viewing experience.

TL;DR Summary
Projector location in Cinema Theater.
The projector location in Cinema Theater can be positioned in Top left corner, Center, Top Right corner etc?

I mean Can the projector location in a Cinema Theater can be anywhere at the top of the wall?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are asking. There is obviously an optimum position for the projector in a movie theater with respect to the screen position and the positions of the movie viewer seats.

Can you please post more details for your question and maybe some sketches to explain the positions you are asking about?

The projector can be anywhere if the geometry of the lens system can be offset sideways, while still remaining parallel with both the film and the screen.

Large format cameras sometimes support the same technique to correct for perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

Thread 'The Effect of Linear and Rotational Motion on Measured Weight'

Consider an extremely long and perfectly calibrated scale. A car with a mass of 1000 kg is placed on it, and the scale registers this weight accurately. Now, suppose the car begins to move, reaching very high speeds. Neglecting air resistance and rolling friction, if the car attains, for example, a velocity of 500 km/h, will the scale still indicate a weight corresponding to 1000 kg, or will the measured value decrease as a result of the motion? In a second scenario, imagine a person with a...

Thread 'Simple thought experiment with Stefan-Boltzmann law: energy'

Dear all, in an encounter of an infamous claim by Gerlich and Tscheuschner that the Greenhouse effect is inconsistent with the 2nd law of thermodynamics I came to a simple thought experiment which I wanted to share with you to check my understanding and brush up my knowledge. The thought experiment I tried to calculate through is as follows. I have a sphere (1) with radius ##r##, acting like a black body at a temperature of exactly ##T_1 = 500 K##. With Stefan-Boltzmann you can calculate...

Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (First part)'

I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8 and stuck at some statements. It's little bit confused. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. Solution : The surface bound charge on the ##xy## plane is of opposite sign to ##q##, so the force will be...
