Consider a charged capacitor made with two square plates of side length $L$, uniformly charged, and separated by a very small distance $d$. The EMF across the capacitor is $\xi$. One of the plates is now rotated by a very small angle $\theta$ to the original axis of the capacitor. Find an expression for the difference in charge between the two plates of the capacitor, in terms of (if necessary) $d$, $\theta$, $\xi$, and $L$.
Also, approximate your expression by transforming it to algebraic form: i.e. without any non-algebraic functions. For example, logarithms and trigonometric functions are considered non-algebraic. Assume $ d << L $ and $ \theta \approx 0 $.
$\emph{Hint}$: You may assume that $ \frac {\theta L}{d} $ is also very small.

There are two possible ways to rotate the capacitor. Both were equally scored but this is what was meant: [asy]size(6cm);

Square $ABCD$ in the coordinate plane has vertices at the points $A(1,1), B(-1,1), C(-1,-1),$ and $D(1,-1).$ Consider the following four transformations:
[list=]
[*]$L,$ a rotation of $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise around the origin;
[*]$R,$ a rotation of $90^{\circ}$ clockwise around the origin;
[*]$H,$ a reflection across the $x$-axis; and
[*]$V,$ a reflection across the $y$-axis.
[/list]
Each of these transformations maps the squares onto itself, but the positions of the labeled vertices will change. For example, applying $R$ and then $V$ would send the vertex $A$ at $(1,1)$ to $(-1,-1)$ and would send the vertex $B$ at $(-1,1)$ to itself. How many sequences of $20$ transformations chosen from $\{L, R, H, V\}$ will send all of the labeled vertices back to their original positions? (For example, $R, R, V, H$ is one sequence of $4$ transformations that will send the vertices back to their original positions.)
$\textbf{(A)}\ 2^{37} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 3\cdot 2^{36} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 2^{38} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 3\cdot 2^{37} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2^{39}$

Two triangles are said to be [i]twins [/i] if one of them is an image of the other one under a parallel projection.
Prove that two triangles are twins if and only if either at least a side of one of them equals a side of another or both the triangles have equal segments that connect the corresponding vertices with some points on the opposite sides which divide these sides in the same ratio.

Let $P$ be a regular polygon with $ 4k + 1 $ sides (where $ k $ is a natural) whose vertices are $ A_1, A_2, ..., A_ {4k + 1} $ (in that order ). Each vertex $ A_j $ of $P$ is assigned a natural of the set $ \{1,2, ..., 4k + 1 \} $ such that no two vertices are assigned the same number. On $P$ the following operation is performed: Let $ B_j $ be the midpoint of the side $ A_jA_ {j + 1} $ for $ j = 1,2, ..., 4k + 1 $ (where is consider $ A_ {4k + 2} = A_1 $). If $ a $, $ b $ are the numbers assigned to $ A_ {j} $ and $ A_ {j + 1} $, respectively, the midpoint $ B_j $ is written the number $ 7a-3b $. By doing this with each of the $ 4k + 1 $ sides, the $ 4k + 1 $ vertices initially arranged are erased.
We will say that a natural $ m $ is [i]fatal [/i] if for all natural $ k $ , no matter how the vertices of $P$ are initially arranged, it is impossible to obtain $ 4k + 1 $ equal numbers through a finite amount of operations from $ m $.
a) Determine if the $ 2010 $ is fatal or not. Justify.
b) Prove that there are infinite fatal numbers.
[color=#f00]PS. A help in translation of the 2nd paragraph is welcome[/color]. [hide=Original wording]Diremos que un natural $m$ es fatal si no importa cómo se disponen inicialmente los vértices de ${P}$, es imposible obtener mediante una cantidad finita de operaciones $4k+1$ números iguales a $m$.[/hide]
