    How Do You Calculate the Error in the Y-Component of Force?

    Homework Statement What is the error in calculating the y-component of the force created by a hanging mass (m=432.23g) at an angle of 28º? Take g=9.81m/s^2)Homework Equations Fg = mg The Attempt at a Solution Fg = mg = (0.43223kg +/- 0.000005kg)(9.81m/s +/- 0.05m/s) = (0.43223 +/-...

    How Do Wind and Plane Speeds Combine to Affect Ground Velocity?

    Hi, I am having troubles with a question concerning relative motion. The problem goes: A plane is traveling at an air speed of 285 km/h [E45ºS]. A wind is blowing to the northeast at 75 km/h [N22ºE] relative to the ground. Determine the velocity relative to the ground. My teach prefers...
