    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    Right. That’s why even if I see easy problems that are marked hard, I don’t mind. Not yet. Can you point me in the right direction please?

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    I mentioned that problem in my first post to clarify what I meant by work. I was just emphasizing that I wasn’t referring to the work in physics. I’m not looking for specific work problems, just for very hard ones. Sadly, I don’t have an example. A few days ago, I googled “difficult work...

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    Those problems were so easy. By the way, it’s okay if the problem involves differential equations or other branches of math.

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    Yes. It’s okay if the problem isn’t purely algebraic as long as it’s very hard. I found a problem that involved probability and work, but it was a bit vague, so I neglected it. It’s not for a test. I’m interested in real-world problems. More importantly, I want very hard problems since I’ll...

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    I referred to 2 algebra books. I found easy problems only.

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    For fear that I was vague, I’m looking for very hard problems. The problem I gave was so easy.

    Solving Work Problems: Algebra Techniques for Jennifer and John

    Do you have very hard problems about work? I referred to my algebra book and googled in vain. Not talking about the product of the force magnitude and the displacement magnitude. This is what I’m talking about – Jennifer takes 4 hours to do a job. John takes 6 hours to do the same job. Working...

    Engineering Shady data from a transformer’s short-circuit test

    The per-unit parameters are the same whether or not I multiplied the data by 1.076 or 1.0762.

    Engineering Shady data from a transformer’s short-circuit test

    Homework Statement Data from the short-circuit test of a 60-Hz, 100-kVA, 4600–230-V transformer are: VSC = 172.3 V ISC = 20.2 A PSC = 1046 W Get the per-unit parameters. 2. Relevant equations ISC ≠ Irated, so how will I solve the problem? The problem is from the book with ISBN 0130612103.

    The spectrum of the blue part in a candle flame

    I read about Balmer lines. The H-alpha spectral line of hydrogen gas is red, since the energy of the photons emitted correspond to 656.3 nm, as E = hc/λ. Is that right?

    The spectrum of the blue part in a candle flame

    Homework Statement In the spectrum of the blue part in a candle flame, there’s a violet emission at 432 nm due to excited CH* molecules (chemiluminescence). Why 432? Why not 400 or 500? There are emissions at 436, 475 and 520 nm too. Why these numbers? 2. The attempt at a solution Is it...
