    Undergrad Clarification regarding rolling cylinder with CG slightly above

    Hi Can anyone please clarify the following? Let there by a rolling cylinder on an inclined plane. Let the solid cylinder(with Center O) on the inclined plane has Center of gravity at a distance 'c' slightly above O. If the cylinder is displaced slightly through an angle θ then [Let N =...

    Graduate Grad Vector Direction: Clarified with Grad F Surfaces

    As we know grad F (F surface) is in normal direction. But we also have (grad F(r)) x r = F'(r) (r) x r = 0 this implies grad F is in direction of r i.e., radial direction. Radial and normal directions need not be same. Can any öne clarify THE DIRECTION OF GRAD VECTOR? Thanks,

    Graduate Is the Gradient Vector Always in the Radial Direction?

    Graduate Regarding Riemann integration defination

    One more question: Please correct me if i am wrong here- "If a function f is Riemann integrable on closed and bounded interval [a,b] then f is continuous on [a,b] and also the converse is also true" i.e., Riemann integrable <=> f being continuous

    Graduate Regarding Riemann integration defination

    If the norm shrinks and shrinks tending towards zero, How can the number of points in the partition be finite? This is where i am thinking! (Lower Darbaux sum will be equal to Upper Darbaux sum only when the number of intervals tends to infinite)

    Graduate Regarding Riemann integration defination

    Can you please elaborate? The norm of partition tending to zero implies that the number of points in the partition also tends to infinite. Thanks,

    Graduate Regarding Riemann integration defination

    Regarding "Riemann integration defination" Hi, I did not understand the following: We have : Partition is always a "finite set". A function f is said to Riemann integrable if f is bounded and Limit ||P|| -> 0 L(f,P) = Limit||P|| -> 0 U(f,P) where L(f,P) and U(f,P) are...

    Undergrad Needed clarification regarding Rolles theorem

    Hi, If we consider Rolle's Theorem: "If [1] f is continuous on [a, b], [2] differentiable in (a,b), and [3]f (a) = f (b), then there exists a point c in (a, b) where f'(c) = 0." In the above theorem, i did not get why condition [1] is needed as we have differentiability =>...

    Feasibility of groups as union of subgroups.

    Homework Statement I am trying to solve a question from Abstract Algebra by Hernstein. Can anyone give me hint regarding the following: Show that a group can not be written as union of 2 (proper) subgroups although it is possible to express it as union of 3 subgroups? Thanks...
