    Calculating Angular Speed of a Yo-Yo

    Wouldn't I be I = \frac{m r^2}{2} which is the one for a solid disk? Or are we considering the fact that the yo-yo is made up of two disks?

    Prove sum identities: r</=>1, θ, e^iθ

    Did you take r=re^{i\theta} and a=1? Now you've gotten me wanting to solve this problem, lol...

    Prove sum identities: r</=>1, θ, e^iθ

    Wouldn't you just use the following rule for an infinite geometric series: \sum\limits_{k = 1}^\infty {ar^{k} = \frac{a}{{1 - r}}}

    Fourier Series and the Riemann-Zeta Function

    Homework Statement Use the Fourier series technique to show that the following series sum to the quantities shown: \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^4}=\frac{\pi^4}{90} 1+\frac{1}{3^2}+\frac{1}{5^2}+...=\frac{\pi^2}{8} Homework Equations I know the Riemann-Zeta function is \zeta...

    31 going on 32 too late for a career change?

    I don't know if this is against the rules to say, but I actually have a digital copy of that book that I got in my circuits class. We use the accompanying lab manual for our lab experiments, and it's helpful to have the book with you on a flash drive. If it's not wrong, then I can definitely...

    Terminal velocity and drag coefficient?

    So that final answer is correct? I would just have to re-do the math with a v instead of a v²?

    Terminal velocity and drag coefficient?

    Ok, I think I'm getting a hold on this problem, but I want to make sure I'm in the direction... Homework Statement Let \inline{v_\infty} be the terminal velocity of a falling body in air. If the body is dropped from rest, find the expression for the speed as a function of time (1) if the air...
