I call NoEinstein's attention one more time to this excellent online
publication: Relativistic Effects on Satellite Clocks

Dear Sam: Your niche is GPS and clocks in space. My niche is
mechanics and optics. This is my post. To engage me in "arguments"
discuss M-M or Coriolis. Thanks! -- NoEinstein --

Mechanics, eh.... What text(s) dis you study classical
mechanics from? I'm curious to see if we studied from similar
textbooks. Thanks.

If he can complete even one problem from an upper division
undergraduate / graduate textbook on analytic mechanics, I'd eat my
hat.- Hide quoted text -

Dear Eric: I solve problems as needed, not as some contest to best
anyone. That reminds me: Did you ever calculate the angle of a side
of a pyramid that has the four corners on the "equator" of a
hemisphere, with the tip of the pyramid touching the north pole of the
hemisphere? Probably outside of your "courses"... -- NoEinstein --

No, because I'm not in highschool taking a geometry course where I
compute angles all the time. Not that it is especially hard.

Slice thespherealong the pyramid's base. The triangle that subtends
a circle is an equilateral triangle - 60 degrees per corner. I can't
remember how to prove this using high school geometry but I can prove
it through calculus.

Slice thespherethrough the north pole. The resulting triangle has
three contact points on thesphere, with the center of the base on the
sphere'scenter. The three rays extending from the center are a radius
- and all equal. Remember that tan(theta) = opposite / adjacent -
tan(theta) = r/r = 1. The angles of the pyramid's sides with respect
to the base are 45 degrees.

My education is general, it teaches me to understand enough to
approach any situation.- Hide quoted text -

Dear Eric: Nice bluff, but the wrong answer. Problem visualization
and lack of an aptitude for same are why so much of science is screwed
up. Not only is your knowledge of geometry and trig below high school
level, you verbalization of geometrics is atrocious. Eat some humble
pie, and find yourself another career than physics. -- NoEinstein --

Notice you neither explain why it is wrong or what the actual answer
is.- Hide quoted text -

Eric: Are you auditing my course? -- NoEinstein --

I see nearly four hundred posts in this thread, half of which are from
you.

If you can't be bothered to explain yourself, what are you doing here?
