I have started studying fluid mechanics recently and seems to be a very basic conceptual question that is bugging me and unfortunately I am unable to find a reasonable explanation for it. Your help would be more than appreciated. The mathematical definition for incompressiblility in fluid...

I am an undergraduate student studying Computer science and engineering (2nd yr). I have studied the basics of C programming and have started studying data structures. But I find it oddly difficult to get hold of a good book that explains basics and the algorithms used for various data...

I have to study certain topics related to electro-mechanical energy conversion machines, AC/DC machines etc (like transformers, motors, generators and stuff). It would be great if you could suggest some good books on those topics especially ones which have got the things easily understandable...

Where's the diagram?

My friend, how can you equate force with acceleration! These are two different physical quantities! Don't you think you are missing a quantity called mass, coz what Newton's 2nd law says is: Force = Mass x Acceleration!

1. Draw the free body diagrams of both the blocks 2. Write down the motion equations of both the bodies. What do u find then??

First tell me, Which direction does tan-1(85/225) signify- east of south or south of east? The answer to your question lies in this particular answer!

what is your question?

Sir, I have a tremendous interest in quantum mechanics but I am just an high school graduate, and i don't know anything much in depth, especially the mathematical part. I have just done the basics of calculus but i want to study about quantum mechanics. Basically, i am completely clueless as...

To begin with... first, write down the basic equation for the motion of the particles individually! What do u get??

number of revolutions per second is essentially the frequency... so if u do know the equation for the frequency of a particle in a magnetic field... you should be able to determine the ratio of frequencies for the alpha particle and the electron!

Are you sure? Lets see what happens if we take your first answer as correct. You said (from a very obvious perspective) that charge gets equally distributed, but then if you apply Kirchhoff's loop rule (KVL) across the closed circuit, doesn't it get violated?? The total voltage difference...

Couldn't get your question... Angular momentum is always calculated about a point. If that point is the center of mass of the body, the the value of ang momentum is Iw!

According to the 2nd law of reflection, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection which means that the angle of refraction is indeed half of the angle of incidence, and if you know Snell's law the problem is all yours!

Don't jumble up your ideas... First see the problem from the energy point of view: When you project a particle with a given velocity up an frictionless inclined plane, you provide some kinetic energy to it (=1/2mv2). This K.E will be continuously converted into potential energy (=mgh) as the...
