Parking lot random variable problem.
I don't really know what 'p_k' this notation is supposed to be... could you clarify that please? So i don't get half of what you're saying pretty much, but I'll reply my best The probability that each parking space is empty or taken is 1/2, and each parking space is independent of each other...- pdrjuarez

Parking lot random variable problem.
Homework Statement There is a parking lot outside a building with n evenly spaced parking spaces that are numbered 1 through N with parking space #1 being closest to the entrance of the building, and parking space #n being the furthest away from the entrance to the building. A driver enters...- pdrjuarez

Calculating Frictional Force on a Ladder: Torque Problem and Solution
Homework Statement A uniform 12.0 m long ladder weighing 125 N rests against a smooth vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder makes an angle of 67 degrees with the floor. A bucket of paint with a mass of 14.0 kg rests on a rung, 7 m from the bottom end of the ladder. What is the frictional...- pdrjuarez

Gravitational and elastic energy
Homework Statement A spring with spring constant k is hanging from the ceiling, at equilibrium point. The length of the spring in equilibrium is h2. Then you hang a mass less string from the end of the spring, holding a mass m. The length of the string and the mass together equal y. The...- pdrjuarez

What is the work done by kinetic friction on a block sliding down a ramp?
Homework Statement A 25.0 kg block slides down a 5.00 m ramp that is elevated at 36.0 degrees. The kinetic friction coeff. is 0.220. -What is the work done by friction as the block slides down the ramp? Ok, so as far as I know, work is achieved only if you apply a force on something and...- pdrjuarez
