Roll of film |
2021-11-20 |
|
Brian pose la question : Trying to create a formula to calculate the build up on a roll of film is calculated. Except instead of of a roll, it's essentially a rectangle with two semicircles on each at the end.
Example: I start with a 6" diameter core on each side, and I start winding .005"
thick film on the core. The distance between the center of those cores, length of the inner rectangle is 7.125.
If I continue to do this for a total length of film of 3000 feet, what will the
roll length and width be.
So what I need is the formula to perform this type of calculation.
Can you help me? I want to be able to plug the formula in a spread sheet and to be able to input a core diameter, a film thickness and a total length and the length between the center of the two cores(which is the inner rectangle's length I'm assuming).
Thanks Harley Weston lui répond. |

More on the last 2 digits of a^k = N |
2020-08-07 |
|
Jay pose la question : I've seen solution methods for finding the last 2 digits
of a^k = N, where a and k are known. My question
is:
What if the number N is known and the last 2
digits are, say, ...62. Is there a way to find, for
any given a, the value of k which will result in a
number where the last 2 digits are ...62? and if
that is possible, then do the same for
a number with the last n digits (say 7 or 53 or
something)? Harley Weston lui répond. |

A dice game |
2019-03-17 |
|
Remo pose la question : So, little game my kid came up with.
Dice are standard d6.
I roll a die, he rolls a die. If he gets the same number as me OR a bigger number he wins.
So far so good. Used the opportunity to get him to calculate the probabilities of him winning, see if I could get him interested into looking at this game from a more academic perspective. He did fine.
Then we upped the ante.
He rolls one die, I roll two dice. I his die has a number that is equal or greater than both of mine, he wins.
We had a bit of trouble solving that one, and had to resort to a table with all the results ( 6x36) to figure out where we stood.
Then again we upped.
He rolls two dice, I roll two dice.
If any one of his dice has a number equal to or greater than both of mine he wins. I only win if one of my dice is greater than both of his.
And we got stuck. Figured I would need to find a formula to resolve this one, as our earlier solution ( table everything ) suddenly is 36x36, giving well over a thousand possible results. And if we ever go bigger than that then we *really* are going to need another way to calculate it. Harley Weston lui répond. |

Two intersecting tubes |

Tommy pose la question : Hi, I am trying to determine a mathematical model for two metal tubes joining at various degrees for weld.
For instance, if I am trying to join the end of a tube to the side of another at a 90 degree angle, it will be a simple profile cut out of the joining tube.
Where it gets tricky is if you want to join the new tube at a given angle.
It would be very helpful if you could give insight as to how I can solve this problem or an equation I could work off of.

Alexander pose la question : Have you ever solved a problem, in which you have a rectangle, from which you need to cut the largest two circles of equivalent diameter? I bisected a rectangle diagonally, but the circles, while tangent to two of the sides, are not tangent to eachother. Can you devise a method for two equivalent circles, that are tangent to two sides, are also to eachother?
Take for example a piece of paper, Each if the two largest circles has a diameter that is greater than the distance to the midpoint of the diagonal bisector of the rectangle. Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Jerry pose la question : while driving in my car early this morning, i 'discovered' something and want to ask if there is an equation that would fit it...
Here it goes..... take any two numbers (with the exception of two of the same numbers), multiply the first number by 2,
add the difference of the original two numbers, and the outcome will be the same as if you added the original two numbers together...
example: 3+5=8... thus, 3+3+(5-3)=8...
if you chose to reverse the numbers then..... 5+3=8... thus, 5+5-(5-3)=8
i know, simple stuff.. but i just want someone to tell me what exactly this is.. is there a 'law' that describes this? Victoria West lui répond. |

Mike pose la question : The other day it occurred to some students that they could think of no square number which is an integer, which can be divided into two equal square numbers which are intergers, Or put another way, no squared integer when doubled can equal another square integer. For example 5 squared plus 5 squared is 50, but 50 is not a square number. Walter Whiteley and Claude Tardif lui répond. |

Angle of Intersection of Two Lines |
2000-03-02 |

Veronica Patterson pose la question : I am having a real hard time trying to figure out this problem. Could you please help me! The homework question says to find the acute angle of intersection between the two lines y=3x+1 and y=(1/2)x-1. (It also says to use the results of a problem I had already figured out.) That problem was to use information from a picture shown that tan(theta sub1-theta sub2)= ((m sub2- m sub1)/(1+(m sub1 * m sub2))). I used the difference identity of tangent to figure out the answer. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Harley Weston lui répond. |

The square root of two is never supposed to end |
1999-03-06 |
|
a wondering student pose la question : i am algebra II and am in the 9th grade. today we were talking about rational and irrational numbers. When we were talking about square roots my friend and i were talking and we thought of something. if you have a square with sides of length one then the diagonal of the square is the square root of 2. Now the square root of two is never supposed to end. But the diagonal of the square ends so therefore doesn't the square root of 2 end. our math teacher did not really answer our question because it was not in the lesson plan and not to many people would see where we were coming from. the answer is really bugging me and i would like to have your input.
