Homework Statement I read an e-book about the classical mechanics and didn't know how to find the lower and upper limits for a volume integral. Homework Equations Perhaps, it may be related to the use of similar triangle. The Attempt at a Solution I calculated the x value...

Homework Statement Homework Equations Nil The Attempt at a Solution Why does the bar y have a factor of 0.5 for the forumla of area centroid? Thank you very much!

I tried some methods and found the followings finally: tan \theta = 3u = 3u / 1 Put the above result to a right-angled triangle with adjacent side = 1 and opposite side = 3u, we can get cos \theta = (9u2 + 1)-0.5. I guessed that the "a" is actually a "9" which is a typo instead. Am I...

Homework Statement Homework Equations F = uR The Attempt at a Solution I don't understand the followings: For equilibrium at A, the equation should be F1 = T sin \theta. Am I right? While for the one at B, the equation should be F2 = T sin \theta. Am I right? In...

Homework Statement Box A contains three white balls and one red ball while box B contains four white balls. One ball is randomly drawn from each box and the two balls are then randomly put back into the boxes so that each box still contains four balls. This process is performed n times. Let...

P(NS|M) = P(M|NS) P(NS) / P(M) P(M) = P(M|NS) P(NS) / P(NS|M) = P(M|NS) P(NS) / (1 - P(S|M)) = 7/8 x 4/5 / (1 - 1/6) = 21/25 P(NS|F) = P(F|NS) P(NS) / P(F) = P(F|NS) P(NS) / (1 - P(M)) = 1/8 x 4/5 / (1 - 21/25) = 5/8 Am I right?

P(S|M) = P(S and M) / P(M) = P(M|S)P(S) / P(M)? Did my tree diagram correct? Thank you very much!
