Introduction to general relativity this energy loss would be too small to be detectable, but this energy loss was observed in 1974 in a binary pulsar called PSR1913+16. In such a system, one of the orbiting stars is a pulsar. This has two consequences: a pulsar is an extremely dense object known as a neutron star, for which gravitational wave emission is much stronger than for ordinary stars. Also, a pulsar emits a narrow beam of electromagnetic radiation from its magnetic poles. As the pulsar rotates, its beam sweeps over the Earth, where it is seen as a regular series of radio pulses, just
Direct integration of a beam load having an effect on the beam is the 75 kN load applied by the pin, applied at x=0, giving Integrating the internal shear, Assuming an EI value of 1 kNformula_15mformula_15m (for simplicity, real EI values for structural members such as steel are normally greater by powers of ten) Because of the vertical supports at each end of the beam, the displacement (formula_19) at x = 0 and x = 15m is zero. Substituting (x = 0, v(0) = 0) and (x = 15m, v(15m) = 0), we can solve for constants formula_20=-1406.25 and formula_21=0, yielding For the given EI
