I had to get the book as well but it had the accompanying online homework called "mastering physics" that came with it. It was part of our curriculum so we had to do it but I eventually realized the example problems in the book were pretty much the "hold your hand" type even though they were...
Wait, wasn't that my goal though? Something that simplifies to "if p then q".
Hm, I am rereading it again, and I am getting the feeling that I should just word for word put it into logic. So
(p\wedge\negq) \rightarrow r
So is their use of "but" just to confuse me?
Homework Statement
let p, q, and r be the following propositions
p: You get an A on the final exam.
q: You do every exercise in this book
r: You get an A in this class
translate: You get an A on the final, but you don't do every exercise in this book; nevertheless, you get an A in...
I'm definitely not one to argue but is your response a sound debate that would limit this experiment, not that I doubt what you say.
In essence, I want a rod that would pose little effort to spin even if amazingly long but if your hunch is actually the limitation then I guess can we imagine...
Got this from extending the "faster than light" portion of the wiki page.
Wiki notes that if a laser is swept quickly across a distant object, the point will move faster, but nothing else necessarily violates any rules so this experiment passes.
Now what if you have an infinitely long rod...
