If I take the moment about B, how would I get the perpendicular distance between the y component of the weight and B? AB/2=Rcos(theta)

Homework Statement A uniform rod AB of length 3R weight W rests inside a hemispherical bowl with radius of R. Determine the angle corresponding to equilibrium. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution [/B] Moment about A: -1.5R*mg cos(theta)+B*AB=0 Sum Fx: Acos(theta)-mg sin(theta)=0 Sum...

I'm sure I have a DC circuit. Thanks for explaining what would actually happen!

I'm guessing it's not possible to actually have an ideal inductor hooked across an ideal power source, but I'm not sure what would actually happen. From I=V/R it would seem like infinite current, which is impossible. Since it isn't possible, then some current would have to go through the...

Sorry about that. Here is the picture. They didn't include a switch, but I don't think the question makes sense otherwise. Thank you!

Homework Statement There is a DC circuit with a resistor and inductor in parallel. Graph the current through the resistor vs time and the inductor vs. time. Homework Equations i=i(0)e^(-Rt/L)+V/R(1-e^(RT/L) The Attempt at a Solution My first thought was that initially current through the...
