  2. Pivot point (technical analysis) - Wikipedia

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

    Several methods exist for calculating the pivot point (P) of a market. Most commonly, it is the arithmetic average of the high (H), low (L), and closing (C) prices of the market in the prior trading period: [3][page needed] P = (H + L + C) / 3. Sometimes, the average also includes the previous period's or the current period's opening price (O):

  3. Inverted pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

    Inverted pendulum. Balancing cart, a simple robotics system circa 1976. The cart contains a servo system that monitors the angle of the rod and moves the cart back and forth to keep it upright. 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.

  4. Pendulum (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    e. A pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed support such that it freely swings back and forth under the influence of gravity. 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 towards the equilibrium position.

  5. Kater's pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kater's_pendulum

    A Kater's pendulum is a reversible free swinging pendulum invented by British physicist and army captain Henry Kater in 1817, published 29th January 1818 [1] for use as a gravimeter instrument to measure the local acceleration of gravity. Its advantage is that, unlike previous pendulum gravimeters, the pendulum's centre of gravity and center of ...

    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.

  7. Center of percussion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_percussion

    Center of percussion. The center of percussion is the point on an extended massive object attached to a pivot where a perpendicular impact will produce no reactive shock at the pivot. Translational and rotational motions cancel at the pivot when an impulsive blow is struck at the center of percussion. The center of percussion is often discussed ...

  8. Moving sofa problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_sofa_problem

    In mathematics, the moving sofa problem or sofa problem is a two-dimensional idealization of real-life furniture-moving problems and asks for the rigid two-dimensional shape of the largest area that can be maneuvered through an L-shaped planar region with legs of unit width. [1] The area thus obtained is referred to as the sofa constant.

  9. Simplex algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_algorithm

    Columns 2, 3, and 4 can be selected as pivot columns, for this example column 4 is selected. The values of z resulting from the choice of rows 2 and 3 as pivot rows are 10/1 = 10 and 15/3 = 5 respectively. Of these the minimum is 5, so row 3 must be the pivot row. Performing the pivot produces
