Feb 17, 2012 · The HP 15C is less than $100, and it was THE killer scientific calculator for engineers and chemists back in the '80s. Fits in a shirt pocket and does everything its larger predecessors did. I'm tempted to order one.
Hp-15c Gone, but not forgotten - Physics Forums
Feb 18, 2010 · HP has a 15c emulator for the iPhone. It is either $29 or $39, but that is way cheaper than what they go for on ebay. I'd buy more than one 15c, 32sII or 42S if they were ever reintroduced.
RPN vs Algebraic Mode on calculators. - Physics Forums
Feb 24, 2007 · RPN rules. When you have become familiar with that notation, you will zip through calculations that used to seem tedious. I got my first HP back in '76 or so, when I went back to college to take some courses that related to my jobs in soils testing, materials inspection, etc.
Which calculator? Hp 50G vs Ti89 Titanium - Physics Forums
Oct 11, 2006 · I remember not being able to financially justify trading up to an HP 15C, since my 29C did everything I needed, but I really liked the 15C. It's financial cousin, the HP 12C is still quite commonly seen in banks, real estate offices, investment counselors' offices, etc.
How do I calculate roots with the 15c - Physics Forums
May 12, 2012 · I'm trying to calculate the cube root of -8, for example, so I type in these buttons: 8 CHS (change sign) Enter 3 1/x y^x But it gives me an...
Goodbye TI-85, Hello HP 50g: A Calculator Review - Physics Forums
Sep 26, 2012 · I thought of the TI-89 Titanium. But then I remembered that HP had a good line of calculators - at least they did. I do not think they have maintained their quality quite so well as they used; but their latest offering, the 50g, was quite impressive. What turned the tide for me to switch from TI to HP was the Daniel Doherty review on Amazon. I ...
Calculate Jet Engine Net Thrust (F(N)) - Physics Forums
Feb 7, 2009 · This is the way the formula is written in my book; Gross Thrust (Static) F (gross) = m dot (V2-V1) V2-V1 Final velocity – initial velocity.
Calculating required horsepower - Physics Forums
Sep 15, 2019 · My attempt at the solution goes as follows: power = work / time power = (distance * force) / time power = (2640 ft * 2000 lb) / 6 seconds = 880000 ft lb / sec horsepower = 880000 ft lb/sec / 550 ft lb/sec = 1600 hp however i do not know if this is correct
Calculating changes in Fan Power - Physics Forums
Nov 9, 2010 · Would it also apply to removing airflow restrictors such as sound attenuators downstream of the fan in the ductwork? Also, is the 6356 just a coefficient to get power into units of HP based on inputting pressure in units of "h2o and flowrate in …
Does an Alternator Really Take This Much Torque? - Physics Forums
May 25, 2013 · Datasheet Graph shows torque peak ~ 13.6 ft lbs at maybe 2750 RPM which calculates 7.12 hp, just about what the dotted hp line on same graph shows . and at output of 14.5 volts and 150 amps, which is 2175 watts, which is 2.91 hp, that's 41% efficiency. 41% seems a bit low if typical is 50 to 60:.
