    Finding K in a two spring system.

    Yeah I mean if you pull the object one direction it is pushed by one spring in one direction and and pulled in that same direction by the other spring.

    Finding K in a two spring system.

    They should add. What values of k did you get for each situation?

    Rhodium Thermal absorption cross section.

    I thought the dependency was 1/sqrt(E)?
  4. W

    Finding perpendicular force on incline plane.

    For the parallel forces, mgsin(35) = friction.

    Big anaconda orbiting the planet

    Is angular momentum conserved?

    Finding the Coefficient of friction on an incline plane

    Assuming the only forces acting on the mass are gravity, the normal force, and friction, then it is true. SumF = mgsin(theta) - mu*mgcos(theta) = 0.

    Finding the Coefficient of friction on an incline plane

    Well, mu = tan(theta) is sometimes used. Depends though.

    Rough semester. Little real world experience. Need guidance.

    I wasn't fired for having a medical condition, per se. I don't know if "fired" is even the correct term. I"m just in a position where I'm unable to work indefinitely, so yeah. It's all good. And yeah, I guess I will be writing to a professor I know to see if he can help me out. I'm still well on...

    Rough semester. Little real world experience. Need guidance.

    Yo. I've had a rough semester. Things were actually looking up in the beginning. I am a sophomore mechanical engineering major and I was taking classes and doing well. I was especially enjoying thermo and nuclear engineering. I had even gotten my first job so that I could save up for a car...

    Finding instantaneous velocity

    Instantaneous velocity occurs at some specific time. What time are you being asked about?
