    Theory question Differentiation / Integration

    I've been told by my teacher that we are supposed to use the fundamental theorem of calculus for part c so for part b I define the indefinite integral as $\ F(x) = \int_a^x f(t)dt = F(x) - F(a) = F(x) +C and for part c I take $\int_x^{x+h} f(t) dt = F(x+h) - F(x) \approx f(x)h...

    Theory question Differentiation / Integration

    I think I'm ok with part a and b now but my textbook doesn't have the fundamental theorem of calculus in it. I have looked on the internet but all of the proofs for part c give the integral limits and an indefinite integral doesn't have limits. for a my guess is something like...

    What Forces Act on a Box on a Rough Conveyor Belt with Acceleration?

    thanks for the reply. ok, i think i get what you are saying. we have resolving vertically: \ Mg = N_A + N_B (1) and taking moments clockwise about the centre of mass \ Mah + \frac{N_{A}L}{2} = \frac{N_{B}L}{2} (2) If I approximate \frac{L}{2} = h because the feet are small...

    What Forces Act on a Box on a Rough Conveyor Belt with Acceleration?

    Homework Statement A cubical block of mass \ M and side length \ L with small feet attached to the 4 corners of its base is placed on a rough conveyer belt initially at rest. The centre of mass of the box is midway between the front and rear feet and is a height \ h above the belt. The...
