    Charge density in cylinder with uniform charge

    1. A charge density ρ (charge per unit volume) is distributed uniformly throughout a non-conducting cylinder of radius R. What is the magnitude of the electric field a distance r = R/2 from the cylinder's axis? Homework Equations E ∫dA = q(interior)/ε0[/B]3. So I tried doing EA =...

    Finding the value of k (spring constant)

    Thanks. I guess I just need to review this chapter some more

    Finding the value of k (spring constant)

    So W1 = 1/2k*(1.4)^2 = 0.98k W2 = 100 WorkTotal = 1/2k(2.9)^2 = 4.205k Then I put it together 4.205k = 0.98k + 100J so k = 31 N/M ? Also, I thought 1/2kx^2 was for potential energy of a spring. So I'm kind of confused about the difference between the two now

    Finding the value of k (spring constant)

    During a test experiment, the engineer finds an ideal very light spring has already been stretched 1.4m from its original length. He also finds that he needs to perform 100J of work to further stretch this spring an additional 1.5m. What is the value of the spring constant for this...

    Tension problem, finding acceleration with kinetic friction

    Oh derp... haha. Thanks. I'm looking through my old exams and I'm finding so many little mistakes like that.

    Tension problem, finding acceleration with kinetic friction

    Three blocks are connected as shown in the uploaded picture. The strings and friction-less pulleys have negligible masses, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 2.0 kg block and the table is 0.17. What is the acceleration of the 2.0 kg block? Homework Equations ∑F = ma The...

    Two beams hanging in equilibrium

    Yeah that sounds right... I originally had it that way but my TA drew it this way. It really confused me haha I'll try it that way and let you all know how it works out

    Two beams hanging in equilibrium

    Homework Statement Two identical, uniform beams weighing 260 N each are connected at one end by a friction-less hinge. A light horizontal crossbar attached at the midpoints of the beams maintains an angle of 53 degrees between the beams. The beams are suspended from the ceiling by vertical...
