OHHH that makes much more sense to me now! Thank you! I will post a solution of this soon enough

So the question is really saying that the heating coil is in the RHS until the pressure in the LHS is 2.37 P0, and that's the side we work with because Q = 0 on that side? I always did think that the volume on the RHS (chamber with heating coil) was supposed to increase, but the question is...

How would it be the volume of the left hand chamber being 0.5625 V0, It says in the question that the heating coil is in the right hand side and is in it until the pressure is 2.37 P0. "A heating coil, inserted in the right hand volume, is used to heat slowly the gas on that side until the...

Just realized that the internal energy would be equal at both volumes of water (height h0 and 1mm higher) so I could neglect this and only use the potential energy of the particles ie. E = mgh

Homework Statement A column of water contains fine metal particles of radius 20 nm, which are in thermal equilibrium at 25°C. If there are 1000 such particles per unit volume at a given height h0 in the water column, how many particles would be found in the same volume 1.0 mm higher than h0...

So what I have gotten is that P0V0γ = PfVfγ And from that I have found that the volume on the RHS (with the heating coil) has a final volume of ## \frac{V_0}{2.37^\frac{2}{3}} ## Does this seem correct? Then with this value I used the fact that the cylinder has a volume of ## 2 V_0 ## and then...

THIS WAS MOVED FROM ANOTHER FORUM, SO THERE IS NO TEMPLATE. HOWEVER, THE OP DID SHOW SOME EFFORT Hello, I have been having troubles beginning these two problems given for exam prep. Was wondering if anyone could give guidance on where to begin. Problem 1: A cylinder with adiabatically...

I want to keep my options open, if I was to do the applied math major would I have the knowledge to be in finance or would I need that financial modelling major to get into that line of work? I was told it would be good to have something to fall back on if I had the financial modelling major...

Hello, I am a third year physics major and am enjoying it very much, however I have realized that with only a honours major in physics I am not that marketable as an individual and will probably need to pursue a masters or PhD. I am interested in applied math and am able to add an applied math...

Hello all, I'm a third year university physics major. I haven't read much on Fourier analysis however I have had been introduced to it through an oscillations and waves class. My professor was saying that it can be applied to many different areas and is extremely helpful tool to have under your...

Its kind of hard to help with no solution of yours to see where you're going wrong. However remember that car b is going in a circular motion and the acceleration will always be directed towards the centre of the circle (perpendicular to its direction of motion along the curve). Perhaps you...

So I am fairly new to Python and feel somewhat comfortable with it. I am trying to do something what I think seems kind of simple however am not too experienced with loading files into Python (or any programming language for that matter). What I am trying to do is I have csv files that contain...

Thank you so much for your help!

Okay so I think I am getting there. I have found that r' = sqrt( s^2 + b^2 - 2Rbcosθ) where b is the distance from the origin to the -λ line charge r = sqrt( s^2 + d^2 - 2Rdcosθ) where d is the distance from the origin to the +λ charge Differentiate r'/r with these functions...

So I would have to put r and r' in terms of their components in cylindrical coordinates and differentiate with respect to s only?
