How do i determine the term ? How do I calculate the accuracy ?

I'm not really sure - I know what Taylor series is - Graphically and what it does but I don't know how to implement it or work it out.

Homework Statement One uses the approximation sin(x) = x to calculate the oscillation period of a simple gravity pendulum. Which is the maximal angle of deflection (in degree) such that this approximation is accurate to a) 10%, b) 1%, c) 0.1%. You can estimate the accuracy by using the next...

Homework Statement In earlier days, horses pulled barges down canals in the manner show in the figure below. Suppose that the horse pulls on the rope with a force of 7900N at an angle of 18 to the direction of motion of the barge, which is headed straight along the canal. The mass of the...

I am very pleased to hear from you all ! I really appreciate it. I would like to post all my calculations here but first - Kindly tell me some points on how to start. Our professor (He filled the whole board with differentiation of trignometic funtions as vectors which I didn't really...

Homework Statement The question is self developed. After the lecture from our professor over Coriolis Effect, we decidable to be over ambitious and derive the equation and somehow calculate the force exerted on a given location on the Earth or "For example we throw a ball in a train...

Yes, I got it with substitution ! Thanks a lot ! And I will use the proper way for exponent next time.

Homework Statement Consider the fourth order equation x4 + 5x2 + 6 = 0. (a) Suggest an efficient way to find all roots of this equation. (b) List all the roots. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution -I plotted the graph. -I thought of iteration - Is that correct ...

Perfect ! Thanks a lot !

Factor of ten ? What does it exactly means ? We call it "Tenths, Hundredths, etc " - I have an idea, but please elaborate so I may not have confusion ever.

Homework Statement The world’s largest ball of string is about 2 meter in radius. To the nearest order of magnitude, i.e., the power of ten, determine what is the total length of the 4mm diameter string in the ball? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I calculated...

@KidWonder Well I will be getting the degree from Germany. Can it be vice versa ( How about bachelors in Engineering Physics) and Master in Mechanical Engineering ?

@Astronuc Thank you very much. That was indeed very motivating. Due to your exalted experience in the field of physics, I would like to ask one last question. Keeping in mind (companies like bosch and German economy) what suggestion do you put forward for a master's after this Engineering...

This is the course overview, if it helps in suggestion: Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Physics: Course Concept / Overview 1st semester, compulsory subjects: 6 Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering I (c) - BM 1 Computing (c) - 1 AM 7 Mechanicsburg (c) - OM 2 8 Introduction to...

@Astronuc I will be studying "Engineerin Physics" in Germany. I want to go towards engineer, probably join thelas, bosch, siemens or thyseenkrupp - Do you suggest, Engineering Physics is a good degree for these fields. Also I wish to take nanotechnology, megatronics or aeronautical...
