    Calculating Boiling Point Using Clausius Claperon Equation

    Homework Statement cal the boiling point of water at 300m. assume its 100 degree centigrade at sea level. given g, R, T=300K, molecular weight of air is 29g/mol and latent heat of evaporation is 540 cal/g at STP Homework Equations The equation is dp/dt= L/T(v2-v1) where v is the...

    What is the Variance of Tossed Coins?

    i tried that...but var(x*y)= [E(x)]2var(Y)+[E(y)]2var(x)+var(x)var(y)... putting x=y...E[y]=3*.5...var[y]=3*.5*.5 ( i have taken y be be a binomial variate ). thr answer i get is wrong

    Graduate Cauchy-riemann using polar co-ordinates

    TRY this for a function to be harmonic its laplacian should be zero so \nabla2U = 0 ( i worked it out and it is true) THEN use the Cauchy Rienman conditions to determine v Finally the f(z)=U+iV

    Solving a Central Force Motion Problem: Find E & L

    see, since i have the potential energy fn, i can calculate the force by calculating the negative of grad of V. This force will be balanced by the centripetal corce i.e mv^2 /r. from here i can cal the velocity, v. thus the angular mom is simply mvr and total energy is P.E+K.E
