Decimal to Binary Conversions
This is probably best demonstrated by example.
Algorithm:
To the decimal integer D to binary integer B:
1. Determine the number of digits (zeroes or ones) that the binary integer is going to have. Also, we'll store D in memory.
n = int(log D/log 2)
Each digit will represent the powers 2^(n) to 2^0.
Keystrokes: D [SHIFT] (Min) [ log ] [ ÷ ] 2 [ log ] [ = ] // ignore the decimal part
2. Starting with n and going to 0, calculate 2^n. Compare 2^n to the number in memory.
If 2^n ≤ Memory, then write a 1. Subtract 2^n from memory: 2^n [ +/- ] [M+]. Decrease n by 1 and continue.
If 2^n > Memory, then write a 0. Decrease n by 1 and continue.
Each digit will be written to the right of the preceding digit.
Example: Convert 462 to binary.
Determine n:
462 [SHIFT] (Min) [ log ] [ ÷ ] 2 [ log ] [ = ]
Result: 8.851749041
Start with n = 8. 462 is stored in Memory.
In M: 462 (n = 8)
2 [ x^y ] 8 [ = ] 256, 256 ≤ 462, [+/-] [ M+ ] // first digit is 1
Binary: 1________
In M: 206 (n = 7)
2 [ x^y ] 7 [ = ] 128, 128 ≤ 206, [+/-] [ M+ ] // next digit is 1
Binary: 11_______
In M: 78 (n = 6)
2 [ x^y ] 6 [ = ] 64, 64 ≤ 78, [+/-] [ M+ ] // next digit is 1
Binary: 111______
In M: 14 (n = 5)
2 [ x^y ] 5 [ = ] 32, 32 > 14 // next digit is 0

In M: 14 (n = 4)
2 [ x^y ] 4 [ = ] 16, 16 > 14 // next digit is 0

In M: 14 (n = 3)
2 [ x^y ] 3 [ = ] 8, 8 ≤ 14, [+/-] [ M+ ] // next digit is 1
Binary: 1110001___
In M: 6 (n = 2)
2 [ x^y ] 2 [ = ] 4, 4 ≤ 6, [+/-] [ M+ ] // next digit is 1
Binary: 11100011__
In M: 2 (n = 1)
2 [ x^y ] 1 [ = ] 2, 2 ≤ 2, [+/-] [ M+ ] // next digit is 1
Binary: 111000111_
In M: 2 (n = 0)
2 [ x^y ] 01 [ = ] 1, 1 > 0 // last digit is 0
Binary: 1110001110
Result: 462_10 = 1110001110_2
Combinations that Allow for Repeated Picks
Sometimes when we are choosing r objects out of a group of n objects, repeated picks are allowed. That is, any object that is picked is put back in the pool and has a chance to be picked again. The formula to calculate such calculations is:
nHr = (n + r - 1)! / (r! * (n - 1)!)
We can state nHr in terms of nCr (number of combinations where no repeats are allowed).
aCb = a! / (b! * (a - b)!)
Let a = n + r - 1 and b = n - 1.
Then a - b = n + r - 1 - (r - 1) = r
Then:
nHr = (n + r -1)C(n - 1)
Algorithm:
[ ( ] n [ + ] r [ - ] 1 [ ) ] [SHIFT] (nCr) [ ( ] n [ - ] 1 [ ) ] [ = ]
Example:
Find the number of combinations of picking 10 objects out of the pool of 38, where repeats are allowed.
n = 38, r = 10
[ ( ] 38 [ + ] 10 [ - ] 1 [ ) ] [SHIFT] (nCr) [ ( ] 38 [ - ] 1 [ ) ] [ = ]
Result: 5,178,066,751
Harmonic Mean of Numbers
The harmonic mean of a set of n numbers is calculated by:
HM = n / Σ(1 / x_i)
We can use the Statistics mode to calculate the harmonic mean.
Algorithm:
[ON] // clear everything and reset calculator to COMP mode
[MODE] 0 // Mode 0 is SD mode (single data, standard deviation)
x_i [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
....
[SHIFT] (n) [ × ] [SHIFT] (Σx) [ = ]
Example:
Data: 3.8, 4.6, 5.9, 7.1, 7.6, 9.0 (n = 6)
[ON]
[MODE] 0
3.8 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
4.6 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
5.9 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
7.1 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
7.6 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
9.0 [SHIFT] (1/x) [M+](DATA)
[SHIFT] (n) [ × ] [SHIFT] (Σx) [ = ]
Result: 6.20145512
Atwood Machine
Given the masses of two weights (in kg) on an Atwood Machine, the following system describes the relationship between the masses, tension, and acceleration of the system:
T + M1 * a = M1 * g
T - M2 * a = M2 * g
where:
T = tension of the system (N)
a = acceleration, positive means the pulley rotates counter-clockwise; negative means the pulley rotates clockwise (m/s^2)
g = Earth's gravity constant, 9.80665 m/s^2
Assumptions:
1. The mass of both the pulley and the string are negligent
2. Mass 1 is on the left side of the pulley while Mass 2 is on the right.
Solving for T and a give:
a = (M1 - M2) * g / (M1 + M2)
T = M1 * (g - a) = M2 (g + a)
Algorithm:
[ ( ] M1 [ - ] M2 [ ) ] [ × ] 9.80665 [ ÷ ] [ ( ] M1 [ + ] M2 [ ) ] [ = ]
// acceleration is displayed
[ +/- ] [ + ] 9.80665 [ = ] [ × ] M1 [ = ]
// tension is displayed
Example:
M1 = 18 kg, M2 = 12 kg
[ ( ] 18 [ - ] 12 [ ) ] [ × ] 9.80665 [ ÷ ] [ ( ] 18 [ + ] 12 [ ) ] [ = ]
Acceleration: 1.96133 m/s^2 (pulley is rotating counter-clockwise)
[ +/- ] [ + ] 9.80665 [ = ] [ × ] 18 [ = ]
Tension: 141.21576 N
