A Jacob's ladder (also magic tablets, Chinese blocks, and klick-klack toy [1]) is a folk toy consisting of blocks of wood held together by strings or ribbons. When the ladder is held at one end, blocks appear to cascade down the strings. This effect is a visual illusion which is the result of one
Lichtenberg figures can also be produced on wood. The types of wood and grain patterns affect the shape of the Lichtenberg figure produced. [16] By applying a coat of electrolytic solution to the surface of the wood, the resistance of the surface drops considerably. Two electrodes are then placed on the wood and a high voltage is passed across ...
The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.
The Gaussian gravitational constant used in space dynamics is a defined constant and the Cavendish experiment can be considered as a measurement of this constant. In Cavendish's time, physicists used the same units for mass and weight, in effect taking g as a standard acceleration.
In a Klotski puzzle, the largest block must be moved to the bottom middle location so that it can be slid over the border, without any of the other blocks being removed in this way. Klotski (from Polish: klocki, lit. 'wooden blocks') is a sliding block puzzle thought to have originated in the early 20th century. The name may refer to a specific ...
The experiment uses a conductive metal container A open at the top, insulated from the ground. Faraday employed a 7 in. diameter by 10.5 in. tall pewter pail on a wooden stool,(B) [1] but modern demonstrations often use a hollow metal sphere with a hole in the top, [10] or a cylinder of metal screen, [9] [12] mounted on an insulating stand. Its ...
Two embossed wooden blocks from the first block wargame, Quebec 1759 (1972). Combat strength step reductions are displayed around the perimeters . A block wargame is a board wargame that represents military units using wooden blocks instead of cardboard counters or metal/plastic miniatures.
To explain the difference between theory and experiment, the two striking balls must have at least ≈ 10 μm separation (given steel, 100 g, and 1 m/s). This shows that in the common case of steel balls, unnoticed separations can be important and must be included in the Hertzian differential equations, or the simple solution gives a more ...
