    Calculating Magnetic Fields and Induced EMFs: Help Needed!

    thanks for the quick reply - but i don't quite understand how this ties in with finding the emf using the change in flux over the change in time.

    Calculating Magnetic Fields and Induced EMFs: Help Needed!

    Hey I'm wondering if someone can help me out with this question. Q: In order to measure the magnetic fields produced by the power lines carrying 50Hz alternating current, a coil consisting of 1500 turns of area 5cm^2 as constructed. Suppose that there is a single power line carrying a...

    Do Independent Normal Variables Exceed a Given Total?

    Thanks for the help! when i originally did it i used (88-10)/7 to try and standardise it - giving me a ridiculous number. So with the normal distribution N(10,7) what should I now do with those - I'm still kind of confused...

    Do Independent Normal Variables Exceed a Given Total?

    Hi I'm wondering if someone can help me out on this question as to how to go about doing it: X_1, X_2... X_7 are independent random variables represnting a random sample of size 7 from the normal N(10, 7) distribution. Find to 3 dp probablitity that the sample total exceeds 88. I tried to...

    How Does Pressure Affect Blood Transfusion from an Inverted Glass Bottle?

    Hi, I have been looking at some discussion questions in a textbook and there is a question about blood transfusion from inverted glass bottle rather than a flexible bag. The question" What would happen if blood were transfused from an inverted glass bottle rather than a flexible bag? I...

    Finding Density Constant for Part (c) of Question

    Hey I am completely stumped as to how to find the density in this following question so I can answer part (c) Q: At a bottling plant soft drink flows in a pipe at a rate that would fill 200 375mL cans per minute. At point 1 in the pupe the gauge pressure is 152 kPa and the crossectional area...

    Undergrad Application of partial derivatives

    Hey, I have no idea where to start, for this question. I know that I will probably have to use vector and scalar product and use the trig identity tan^2(theta)=sec^2(theta)-1 - and of course partial derivatives Question: In order to determine the angle theta which a sloping plane ceiling...

    If Ax = 0 has one solution, show m>=n

    Thanks for replying :) But I'm not to sure what you mean - i don't think i am very familiar with that theorem... could you elaborate a little? hehehe

    If Ax = 0 has one solution, show m>=n

    Hey I'm not to sure on how to approach this problem - I think I have to use induction but I don't know where to start! Question: Let A be an mxn matric. Suppose that Ax=0 has only one solution, namely x=0. Show that m >= n Thanks for the help in advance

    Undergrad Varying densities and wave propogation

    hey I was just wondering what would happen if you had a length of string with varying densitities with one end fixed to a wall and you sending a pulse down it. Would the waves travel faster along some bits or change amplitude at all or do something i haven't mentioned? Can anyone enlighten...

    Calculating Oscillation Amplitude & Period of Deli Plate

    Hi I'm attempting this question and I'm wondering if this is the correct way of going about it or if I'm completely off track: For lunch you and your friends decide to stop at the nearest deli and have a sandwich made fresh for you with 0.300 kg of Italian ham. The slices of ham are weighed on...
