I know that, but how? Would you use similar triangles or something like that?

Homework Statement A right circular cylinder is inscribed in a cone with height h and base radius r. Find the largest possible volume of such a cylinder. Volume of a cylinder = (pi)(r^2)h Volume of a cone = (1/3)(pi)(r^2)h Homework Equations Volume of a cylinder = (pi)(r^2)h Volume...

Related rates problem? If so, you have to come up with a formula that relates the horizontal with the vertical of a triangle. Then differentiate that to come up with an equation that you can solve dx/dt for, which is what you are looking for.

Again, you'll want to formulate an equation that gives the position function, and relate that to velocity, then relate that equation to acceleration, at which point you can use Newtons second law to figure out the force acting on the particle.

Think about the relationship between position and velocity, and then the relationship between velocity and acceleration.

Homework Statement The problem gives a graph of Emf versus time, in a circuit consisting of capacitor C and voltage source e. It asks to draw the time dependence of the current I in the circuit. Homework Equations The graph looks like a trapezoid, positive slope starting at Emf=0 t=0...

Homework Statement For this sample exam, we are given an RLC circuit, with an alternative emf of 1 V, connected all in series with a 500 ohm resistor, a .4 mH inductor, and two capacitors in parallel of 50 pF each. It asks for the "maximum power dissipated by the resistance" and at what...
