That's what happened with me. Too used to doing complex equations that I forgot that there were stupidly simple ways of doing it. Thanks for all the help!

Homework Statement Find all solutions of the equation (tanx + sqrt(3))(cosx+2)=0 Homework Equations Any of the identities The Attempt at a Solution (tanx + sqrt(3))(cosx + 2)=0 tan(x)cos(x)+2tan(x) + sqrt(3)cos(x) + 2sqrt(3) = 0 (sin(x)/cos(x))cos(x) + 2tan(x) + sqrt(3)cos(x) +...

I read it correctly. The problems I listed above are word for word what's in the textbook. And, link2001. Thanks; I'll start doing that from now on.

Homework Statement "If Ganymede, one of Jupiter's moons, has a pariod of 7.15 days, how many uits are there in it's orbital radius? Use the information given in Example Problem 1." Example Problem: "Galileo measured the orbital sizes of Jupiter's moons using the diameter of Jupiter as a...

Just barely; the ice was indented downwards a bit and some water leaked up from below. As for the other replies: I guess I misused the word "force". I'm trying to get an equation that would allow me to get how much weight/mass another object would need to do the same amount of damage to...

Alright. I dropped an approximately 40 pound rock from a 30 foot height onto a sheet of ice to determine whether the ice could widthstand enough force to hold my weight (trying to prove it without actually taking the risks associated with being wrong had I done it traditionally). The only...

Stupid question here - what's the equation for determining the impact force of an object in freefall?
