    What is the volume of water in a cylindrical cumulus cloud of given dimensions?

    Thanx for setting me straight, I should have realized that was an awful small amount for such a big cloud.

    What is the volume of water in a cylindrical cumulus cloud of given dimensions?

    Does the solution to this problem look right? A cubic centimeter in a typical cumulus cloud contains 50 to 500 water drops, which have a typical radius of 10 µm. For that range, give the lower value and the higher value, respectively, for the following. (a) How many cubic meters of water...

    How to Calculate Time and Uncertainty for Rotating Pulsars

    Thank you for your help, you've led me to the correct answer. It is 2801.6128977455, you must have left out the (ms) or 10^-3 when multiplying. My calculator was only set up to display 6 digits. Thanx again.

    How to Calculate Time and Uncertainty for Rotating Pulsars

    Hello, perhaps you could help with a problem. Suppose a pulsar rotates once every 1.400 806 448 872 75 + or - 5 ms, where the trailing + or - 5 indicates the uncertainty in the last decimal place (it does not mean + or - 5ms). a. How many times does the pulsar rotate in 30.0 days? I...
