Revelations

I do remember a mischievous news shown in television about a mathematician who became mad for his too much interest in the subject. There was no reason for remembering this news until i got the picture shown above as an e-mail attachment. Is it possible to happen like that? Yes, it is. Why is so happening? May be due to his inability or unluck to reach to the required result. He may not have got enough family and official support. What ever be , he may not have got the result in his paper, but we got a result from this. Do you know what is that? It is what is hanging at the tip of the square root in the paper which is shown above. But his failure can lead for the birth of another way to start a new thoughts. Seeing the figure, I think it is not a bad idea to find the bending moment of the square root in which he is hanging now. See the figure, it is analoguous to a weight acting at a distance from the tip of the cantilever. Because the square root can be considered as the cantilever and the body hanging may be considered as the point load. Definitely we can find the length of the cantilever as it is drawn on a graph paper.But unfortunately, i don't know the weight of his body. So next time if one is thinking of such paper suiciding, he/she should not forget to give the weight of the body along the scale of the graph.Who knows, such informations can lead to new discoveries.
