    (True/False) Basic Probability Theory

    Hi Tim, Many thanks for your prompt revert. Hmmm...It looks kinda meaningless to me. But I'm just perturbed by the fact that there exists such a rule in which the probability of the union of 2 statistically events A & B is the the sum of their individual probabilities (i.e...

    (True/False) Basic Probability Theory

    Dear all, I have a question. Suppose we have 3 events X,Y,Z defined as having 200 heads, 400 heads & 600 heads obtained in tossing a fair coin for 800 times. Then, P(Z)=P(X+Y)=P(600)=P(200+400)=P(X)+P(Y)=P(200)+P(400) The answer is false but I view it otherwise. My argument is based...

    Help On Engineering Probability Resources

    Dear all, I'm currently taking an engineering module which is probability based. However, it's not a maths module. Instead, it's a probability module designed to come under the context of engineering. The probability topics range from sets, RV, PDF, applied statistics, random process, complex...

    Taking the limit of this as s-> 0 (algebra based)

    Homework Statement Hi all, this may sound trivial but I've been like cranking my brains on this. Probably I just can't see it. Will need someone to shed some light. Taking the limit of [(1/s)(a-b)/(s^2 + cs + a)] as s-> 0 Homework Equations Stated above The Attempt at a...

    Trouble with minimum surface area for a cylinder

    Dear all, I was reading through my notes and I was kinda like stumbled in the way the minimum surface area of a cylinder has been derived. First, A= 2*PI*r^2 + 2*PI*r*h and given the condition that the volume has been fixed, the resulting area equation becomes A= 2*PI*r^2 + 2V/r...

    Finding the charges on surfaces (hollow spheres)

    Dear all, Two hollow conducting spheres have a common center O. The dimensions of the spheres are as shown (attached above). A charge of −200 nC is placed on the inner conductor and a charge of +80 nC is placed on the outer conductor. The inner and outer surfaces of the spheres are...

    Finding the electric force on each sphere

    Dear experts, Please guide me along with this problem. Two identical small conducting spheres are separated by 0.60 m. The spheres carry different amounts of charge and each sphere experiences an attractive electric force of 10.8 N. The total charge on the two spheres is −24 μC. The two...

    Exploring the Physical Meaning of Line Integrals

    Hi, I'm greatly puzzled by the physical meaning of line integrals. Based on my understanding, the line inetgral of a scalar function is taking the integral of a function over a curve. What does this exactly mean? I mean the physical meaning? Just find it hard to absorb and apply the rule...

    Kinematics of ball rolling motion

    Hi, Appreciate your revert. Err...Perhaps the attachment above can outline my confusion better... What I'm seeing is a ball set to rolling on a track (horizontal->downward straight ramp->horizontal->upward straight ramp). At t=t0 it is released at the very left of the track with velocity...
