Default From the Extra question pool: The dipole




How long is the dipole?


Easy, it's his phone number divided by his address. :-)

A coaxial cable lying over the peak of a roof is the same length on each
side.
It weighs one third of a pound per foot. On one end hangs an Extra holding a
dipole, and on the other end a weight equal to the weight of the Extra. The
dipole weighs two ounces per inch. The cable is as long (in feet) as the age
of the Extra (in years), and the weight of the Extra (in ounces) is the same
as
the age of the Extra's mother. The combined age of the Extra and his mother
is
seventy years. One half of the weight of the Extra, plus the weight of the
dipole, is one forth as much as the weight of the weight and the weight of
the
cable. The Extra's mother is half as old as the Extra will be when he is
three
times as old as his mother was when she she was half as old as the Extra will
be when when he is as old as his mother will be when she is four times as old
as the Extra was when he was twice as old as his mother was when she was one
third as old as the Extra was when he was old as his mother was when she was
three times as old as the Extra was when he was one fourth as old as he is
now.

How long is the dipole?


All depends on what band it's cut for and whether it's a half-wave, three-
quarter wave, or full-wave dipole. All the rest of the stuff is just nonsense,
which is no more than we expect from you.
