Hi there,
Hoping someone can help with a math problem for a practical application. My apologies, but I don't know for certain this is an algebraic question.
http://pointofviewcameras.co.uk/camalapse-time-lapse-mount.html
This device is basically an egg timer designed to mount a camera on top so it can pan across for time lapse photography. If you have one of these with a camera mounted on top and wind it up, it takes 60 minutes for a full 360 degree turn (1 revolution).
These timers are stackable because they will screw in to each other (refer to pics in the link above). If you were to stack two of these timers together with a camera on the top and wind both up to the max, the camera will:
1) do 1 revolution in half hour, and
2) do 2 revolutions in one hour
So here is the question. What happens if you stack a 3rd timer, or 4th timer to it? What is the equation to determine the outcome if you were to stack 10 of them?
Thanks for any and all comments,
Tony
