    Centrifugal Force: Get Logical Explanation

    hi, we all know tht when a body moves in a circular path,it experiences an outward force(eg:a coin on rotating disc gets thrown outward).Theoritically fine.But can anyone give me the LOGICAL explanation for this?Wht does it get thrown outward? Also consider a person in a rotar standing with...

    Explain: As x Approaches 0, Sinx/x & Tanx/x

    tends to 1 from?? i am confused on this one...my friend told me that as x->0 ,(sinx)/x tends to 1 from left hand side...similarly he said something abt tanx/x approaching 1 from right hand side...can anyone please explain this to me?? thanks.. wiz

    Stuck on Math Problem: Finding x^2+y^2

    if x and y are rational then irrational terms on both sides of the eq must be equal adn also rational terms on both sides must be equal.hence y=x=0.5...get it?

    Comparing Problem #1 & #2: Why the Difference?

    hey check ur working again...i think it is r^2 + x^2 in the denominator and not wht u hv written...

    Comparing Problem #1 & #2: Why the Difference?

    maybe because in the first case the force contributed by each element is the same where as the in second case the force exerted by each ring of thickness dr is different.so u hv to integrate to get the total force by the disc(or all the rings of thickness dr)..hence the field...does this suffice??

    Solving Math Problems: Selecting 7 Out of 16 Seated Men on a Round Table

    ok thtz correct...but is there a way to generalise it??...say selection of r persons out of n ppl??.(in the same prob)

    Velocity relation of a particle

    Hey i solved the prob, The fact we forgot was tht since the body is moving towards the orgin due to -ve value of acc, the correct relation wud be v= - sqrt[(1-x)/x] ----(1) Now put x = sin^2($) hence dx/d$ = sin2$ hence dx = sin2$*d$ --------(2) By (1), - dx/sqrt[(1-x)/x] = dt => -dx...

    Velocity relation of a particle

    Oh,my god...i am sooooo sorry the correct eq is F(x)= -k * 0.5 * x^-2 where k= 10^-2 Nm^2 the mass of the body is 10^-2 kg Now itz 100% correct. Wht i did was, i got a= -0.5 * x^-2 as k and m canceled out so i got dv/dt=(-0.5 * x^-2) hence dv/dx*dx/dt=(-0.5 * x^-2) hence dv*v=(-0.5 *...

    Velocity relation of a particle

    The prob i posted is the same, All i did was...i found out acc. from the force.. Then integrated it and i found velocity...the constant in tht case was c=-1 Btw i hv mentioned tht the particle is initially at x=1 The prob is same as given in the book, This is an iit-jee question meant for...
