    What is the Limit of the Tangent Function as x Approaches 0?

    You can't do that! Use l'hospital's rule. \lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac {tanx}{4x} =\lim_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac {secxtanx}{4}

    Speed of a particle that can pass through plates

    Two plates, potential difference V =1500 which are .012m apart. What speed particle can pass through them without being deflected?

    Why Does My Force Calculation Differ From the Book?

    never mind guys, i did it right. The book was wrong. The problem was solve for X. Thanks anyway!

    Why Does My Force Calculation Differ From the Book?

    F_1=x F_2=4000lbs A_1=1.5 in A_2=21 in So, i did: F_1=1.5/21 * 4000 Gave me 280 pounds. My book, however, disagrees.

    How can you determine the net force of a bottle

    Does the outside pressure matter?

    How to Calculate Moment of Inertia for Composite Objects?

    I just forgot to add what i put for I_c It was: I_c=1/2*M_c*R^2[/tex] The example in the textbook derives it in a general form, with mass M, and Radius R, and a constant density. I Tried it with M=2 and R=2 And got the above number.

    How to Calculate Moment of Inertia for Composite Objects?

    I don't believe that's right, because i kind of ad libbed a step where i used the relation i mentioned before. i'd show my work but its very long. Here's how it worked: M_s=Massofsqaure I_s=1/6*M_S(2R)^2 M_s=M+M_c M_c=(4-pi)R^2 That last part I am unsure of.

    How to Calculate Moment of Inertia for Composite Objects?

    With random numbers, (R=2 and M=2), i got: I=7.57

    How to Calculate Moment of Inertia for Composite Objects?

    But, the way i see it, the square has an area of 4r^2, and the circle has an area of pir^2

    How can you determine the net force of a bottle

    Also, if the bottle has two openings facing in the same direction, how does that work? Do you add the area of the two holes and use that for area, or is it two separate cases?

    How can you determine the net force of a bottle

    How can you determine the net force of a bottle who's contents are kept under 2 atm of pressure, and it has a 1 cm opening for example? a1v1=a2v2 doesn't seem to apply, and the flowrate=dav doesn't seem to either. I suspect it is bernoulli's equation, but I am unsure. I know P=F/A, but how...

    Solving Box & Ramp Problem at 50° Angle

    Oh, Duh. I shouldn't try to help people so late at night. Obviously, g is constant for everything. Funny how stupid i can be. Sorry Mr.Jeffy, I sincerely apologize for confounding you further.

    How Does Orifice Diameter Affect Fluid Flow Rate?

    a_1v_1=a_2v_2 Flow Rate=Dav Where D is density. And look up "Bernoulli's Equation"

    Solving Box & Ramp Problem at 50° Angle

    But the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is directly related to the mass... Well then, I am confused. Oh well!

    Solving Box & Ramp Problem at 50° Angle

    I don't think this can be done without a mass of the box. Do you have the actual text of the problem?
