    Calculating Charge on a Capacitor in a Circuit with a Switch

    For the circuit shown in the figure, the switch S is suddenly closed with the capacitor uncharged. After one time constant, the charge on the capacitor is closest to: a) 2.0 mC b) 0.74 mC c) 1.0 mC d) 1.3 mC e) 0.00 mCRelevant Formulas q = Q⋅(1-e-τ/R⋅C) τ = RC My Attempt q = Q(1-e-τ/T) q =...

    Undergrad Calculate Force Applied to Rope for Frictional Torque

    [/PLAIN] A drum (see the figure) has a radius of 0.40 m and a moment of inertia of 6.9kg⋅m2. The frictional torque of the drum axle is 3.0 N⋅m. A 43m length of rope is wound around the rim. The drum is initially at rest. A constant force is applied to the free end of the rope until the rope is...
