Least x > 0 such that sin(b*x) = cos(c*x) (and also sin(c*x) = cos(b*x)), where b=2 and c=Pi/2; see the Mathematica program for a graph and A197682 for a discussion and guide to related sequences.
Force per unit width, normalized by rho V^2 L, of an infinitely wide two-dimensional stream of inviscid fluid impinging on a plate of length L oriented normal to the stream (Lamb 1945). Here rho is the density of the fluid and V is the velocity of the stream. - Chris R. Rehmann, Dec 27 2025
