Abstract A closed-form inverse force analysis was performed on a planar two-spring system. The two springs were grounded to pivots at one end and attached to a common pivot at the other. A known force was applied to the common pivot of the system, and it was required to determine all of the assembly configurations. By variable elimination, a sixth degree polynomial in the resultant length of one spring was derived, and from this, six real solutions of the point of application of force were obtained. Following this, the applied force was incremented along a line and the six paths of the moving pivot were tracked starting from the zero-load configurations. An analysis of these results showed stability phenomena indicating the workspace of this system contained regions of negative spring stiffness and points of catastrophe.

AbstractWe present recent results showing that a large fraction of red sequence galaxies contain ionized gas with LINER-like optical emission line ratios. This emission is more frequently found in galaxies with lower central velocity dispersion (σ) and these galaxies typically have younger mean ages than galaxies at the same σ which do not host emission. We suggest that the presence of LINER-like emission may be determined by the quantity of interstellar material in these galaxies and may be associated with the recent accretion of a gas-rich satellite galaxy or alternatively with stellar mass loss that declines as the galaxy stellar population ages.

AbstractA simple formula is derived for the force of dynamical friction acting on a satellite galaxy which is moving on a nearly circular orbit around its parent galaxy. Using this formula, estimates of the decay time are computed. The results are then compared with the corresponding results from numerical simulations, and are found to be in good agreement.
