I am currently taking Calc. II and up to this point in our text there has always been application problems associated with the Chapter sections. We are now in the section covering Series and sequences, I find the subject challenging, however, what can you do with them? What are the...
Thank you. It's very confusing but your last explination worked and resulted in a correct answer. I hate it when I get the Free body diagrams right, setting up the 2 equations with two unknowns right, and missing the correct answer due to conversion errors. Again...thank you for your help.
So is the mass of a slug 1lb.? And if so, to obtain (mass x gravity) in the U.S. Customary System would it just be 1 x 32 ft/sec^2 to obtain its weight?
I am working a Physics problem where the mass is given as 20 slugs. To obtain Newtons can I just multiply 20 slugs x (14.59 kg/1 slug) x 9.80 m/s^2 = 2859.64N?
I am in my first year of Engineering at College and in am taking Physics for Scientists and Engineers (Serway) and concurrently enrolled in Calc I. I have spent hours on just on physics problem. It's to bad the school doesn't offer Persiverance 101. I look at Calculus as a means of acquiring...
In a Moon/Earth Comparison Data sheet I received from NASA, they list the surface gravity at 9.80 m/s2. They also list surface acceleration at 9.78 m/s2. What is surface acceleration? All the problems relating to gravity in my Physics text (so far) calls Earth's gravity constant as 9.80 m/s2.
