Resonance frequency in an LCR circuit

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the resonance frequency expression for an LCR circuit, specifically w = sqrt((1/(LC)) - (R_l^2 / L^2)). The user, Daniel, is seeking guidance on how to approach this derivation, noting his familiarity with series circuits but difficulty with parallel configurations. A suggestion is made to set up the complex impedance of the circuit and to find the frequency at which the impedance becomes purely resistive, indicating resonance. The importance of analyzing the reactive components to achieve resonance is emphasized. This discussion highlights the challenges of understanding resonance in different circuit configurations.

Hello everyone!

I've been trying to derive the expression

w = sqrt( (1/(LC)) - (R_l^2 / L^2) )

where w is the resonace frequency, L is the inductance of the inductor, R_l is the resistance in the inductor, R is the resistance of the resistor and C is the capacitance of the capacitator.

for this circuit:

I'm not sure how to attack the problem and I can't find any good texts about it.
I know how to do it in series circuits. I've been trying to do it in a correspondning way for this one but I can't quite do it.

Any help is appreciated

Set up an expression for the complex impedance of the circuit (you can forget about the R since it doesn't affect the analysis). Find the omega for which the impedance of the capacitor in parallel with (series inductance + resistance) becomes a pure real number. At this point the reactive component disappears, the load is purely resistive and resonance is achieved.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
