This is a sandbox

You can use this question as a formatting sandbox (if you can edit CW questions), and you can post answers if you want to test out formatting there as well.

NB: It's hard not to like this meta post but please keep it downvoted to -8 or less (rather than upvoting it) so that it doesn't get bumped to the front meta page every time someone is experimenting in the sandbox, which usually is not interesting to anyone else.

  • $\begingroup$ @Manishearth Can we have a periodic clean-up of this thread? It's a huge unsightly mess. A few comments are worth keeping, but it'll be a lot nicer to use this Sandbox if it gets a good plow-through now and then. (Edit: actually, no, let me make this a flag. stupid of me.) $\endgroup$ – Emilio Pisanty Sep 13 '13 at 22:35
  • $\begingroup$ @DImension10AbhimanyuPS That one was long, contained a lot of images (which made it hard to find the end of it/scroll), and was bothering others. $\endgroup$ – Manishearth Sep 14 '13 at 4:12
  • $\begingroup$ @DImension10AbhimanyuPS No need for it. FWIW, the post will still be bumped to meta front page anyway. $\endgroup$ – Manishearth Sep 14 '13 at 4:23

    $\begingroup$ @Manishearth: No, it won't. I just edited this post with -10 votes and it doesn't bump the fIrst page. $\endgroup$ – Abhimanyu Pallavi Sudhir Sep 14 '13 at 4:29

    $\begingroup$ @Manishearth: Even on meta. I retagged this post just now; it doesn't bump the first page. $\endgroup$ – Abhimanyu Pallavi Sudhir Sep 14 '13 at 4:33
  • $\begingroup$ @DImension10AbhimanyuPS Yet the formatting sandbox is at the top of the main page. There's some criteria other than votes which I forgot about. $\endgroup$ – Manishearth Sep 14 '13 at 4:36

  • $\begingroup$ @DImension10AbhimanyuPS IIRC the edits to the question don't bump, but edits to the answers and new answers do. The vote threshhold is -4. meta.stackexchange.com/a/48579/178438 $\endgroup$ – Manishearth Sep 14 '13 at 4:38

    $\begingroup$ @Manishearth it's the weirdest thing, though. An edit to a deleted answer seems to have brought the page to the top. I don't know if that's by design or not; I'll ask the corresponding question/experiment in a bit. $\endgroup$ – Emilio Pisanty Sep 14 '13 at 15:29

Some apparent redspace problems, 10 m/s (original post):

The period of a pendulum of length $h$ for small oscillations is $2\pi \sqrt{h/g}$, with $g$ the acceleration due to gravity, about $10 m/s$.

Sοurce:

The period of a pendulum of length $h$ for small oscillations 
is $2\pi \sqrt{h/g}$, with $g$ the acceleration due to gravity, 
about $10 m/s$.

Given $\left\{ a_{n}\::\:n=1,\:2,\:3,\:\cdots\right\} $ is an infinite sequence in $\mathbb{R}$, and every term is positive. How to prove that the set

\begin{equation} \left\{ \frac{2+a_{n}}{\sqrt{2+a_{n}^{2}}}\::\:n=1,\:2,\:3,\:\cdots\right\} \end{equation} has a limit point?

Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem says that every bounded infinite subset of $\mathbb{R}$ has a limit point. But how to prove it is bounded? I tried this \begin{equation} \left|\frac{2+a_{n}}{\sqrt{2+a_{n}^{2}}}\right|\leq\left|\frac{2+a_{n}}{\sqrt{a_{n}^{2}}}\right|=\left|\frac{2+a_{n}}{a_{n}}\right| \end{equation} but does not seem work.

Or these is another way to show it has a limit point, without using Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem

Let me check if the sandbox at -8 goes to the front meta page if I add a new answer.
