    Who else is taking the Putnam Competition and how high were last year's scores?

    I got the integral by decomposing the integrand into partial fractions like: [log(1-i)/(-2i)]/(x+i) + [log(1+i)/(2i)]/(x-i) (this may not be exactly correct, but it's easy to understand) from there it is simply knowing the logarithm of a complex number and complex multiplication. It turns...

    Calculating Mass of Melting Ice in a Copper Rod | Introductory Physics Homework

    Thank you for your reply. I understand what you are saying I just can't tell if I've set it up correctly or not. There is 10.4 J/s or W going to the mixture, I know it takes 33.5*10^4 J to melt 1 kg of ice, but it is the time factor that is confusing me. Is this Q/t=(mL)/t okay, because if I...

    Calculating Mass of Melting Ice in a Copper Rod | Introductory Physics Homework

    Hello, This is a homework problem for my Introductory Physics(no calculus) class but it's relatively simple so I opted to put it under high school. First I'll state the problem then my thoughts. A copper rod (k = 390) has a length of 1.5 m and a cross-sectional area of 4.00*10^-4 m^2...
