  2. Pivot point (technical analysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_point_(technical...

    A pivot point is calculated as an average of significant prices (high, low, close) from the performance of a market in the prior trading period. If the market in the following period trades above the pivot point it is usually evaluated as a bullish sentiment, whereas trading below the pivot point is seen as bearish.

  3. List of moments of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_moments_of_inertia

    The above formula is for the xy plane passing through the center of mass, which coincides with the geometric center of the cylinder. If the xy plane is at the base of the cylinder, i.e. offset by d = h 2 , {\displaystyle d={\frac {h}{2}},} then by the parallel axis theorem the following formula applies:

  4. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_(mechanics)

    A compound pendulum (or physical pendulum) is one where the rod is not massless, and may have extended size; that is, an arbitrarily shaped rigid body swinging by a pivot . In this case the pendulum's period depends on its moment of inertia around the pivot point.

  5. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    For a simple pendulum, this definition yields a formula for the moment of inertia I in terms of the mass m of the pendulum and its distance r from the pivot point as, =. Thus, the moment of inertia of the pendulum depends on both the mass m of a body and its geometry, or shape, as defined by the distance r to the axis of rotation.

  6. Ackermann steering geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry

    The steering pivot points [clarification needed] are joined by a rigid bar called the tie rod, which can also be part of the steering mechanism, in the form of a rack and pinion for instance. With perfect Ackermann, at any angle of steering, the centre point of all of the circles traced by all wheels will lie at a common point.

  7. Pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum

    "Simple gravity pendulum" model assumes no friction or air resistance. A pendulum is a device made of a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely. [1] When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.

  8. Support and resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support_and_resistance

    Some traders believe in using pivot point calculations. [7] The more often a support/resistance level is "tested" (touched and bounced off by price), the more significance is given to that specific level. [8] If a price breaks past a support level, that support level often becomes a new resistance level.

  9. Inverted pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

    An inverted pendulum is a pendulum that has its center of mass above its pivot point. It is unstable and falls over without additional help. It can be suspended stably in this inverted position by using a control system to monitor the angle of the pole and move the pivot point horizontally back under the center of mass when it starts to fall ...
