    Find the equation of state of each gas

    The problem is from the book "The Principles of Thermodynamics" by ND Hari dass. It looks trivial problem, but I am not able to form logical arguements for going into next step. For example, It seems like first gas has equation of state ##PV =nRT## and second has ## \left( P_2 +\frac{a}{V_2^2}...

    Find the relation between 2 variables

    Here is the equation I obtain after simplification, I don't know if it is correct: gmc * V1 + s * C2 * Vout = [{s * (C1 + C2) * ro2 + 1} * Vout - s * C1 * ro2 * V1] * (s * rb * C2 + 1) / {ro2 * rb * (s * C2 - gm2)} I need to eliminate V1 to find the relation between Vin and Vout.

    Find the value of ##a, b## and ##k## in the problem involving graphs

    In my approach i have the roots of the equation being ##x=a## and ##x=b##. There are two assumptions, In the first assumption, ##a=\dfrac{1}{2}b## ##2a=b## then, ##4=k(-a)^2(-2a)## ##4=-2ka^3## ##⇒ -2=ka^3## Now since ##2a=b## then ##a=1, b=2⇒k=-2##. our equation becomes...

    I Question on Lambert W function

    In the following I ask WA to solve the given equation and it produces a solution using the Lambert W function. I thought : $$W(x*e^x) = x$$ but here it seems $$W_n \left(\frac{-MT}{P}*e^{\frac{-MT}{P}}\right) \neq \frac{-MT}{P}$$ Is there a difference between ##W(x)## and ##W_n(x)## ?

    Solve the equation : ##x^4+12x^3+2x^2+25=0##

    Wolfram gave the solution and a hint: i want to understand the hands on approach steps... In my approach (following Wolfram's equation) i have, ##(x-3)^2(2+12(x-3)+(x-3)^2=-25## ##(x-3)^2((x+3)^2-33)=-25## ##(x-3)\sqrt{((x+3)^2-33)}=-5i## ...

    If tension provides the torque to this pulley, what is its equation?

    15 - Tension = 1.53*a T = 15 - 1.53*R*α T*0.33 - 1.10 = Iα Is this approach correct?

    I Why do the lines m and l coincide in the proof of the parallelogram rule?

    I was going through this book called "A Course in Mathematics for Students of Physics Volume 1 by Paul Bamberg and Shlomo Sternberg". There in a part they said something like this: ...if we start with a point P and write ##R=P+u## ##Q=P+v## and ##S=P+(u+v)## then the four points ##P,Q,S,R## lie...

    Find the value of ##k^2## in the problem involving trigonometry

    In my working i have, ... ##\cos C = 2\cos^2 \dfrac{1}{2} C -1## ##c^2= a^2+b^2-2ab(2\cos^2 \dfrac{1}{2} C-1)## ##c^2= a^2+b^2+2ab(1-2\cos^2 \dfrac{1}{2} C)## ##c^2= (a+b)^2 (1-2\cos^2 \dfrac{1}{2} C)## Now from here, ##k^2 =2## but text gives different solution. I am still checking...

    SUVAT equation question: When will the car collide with the lorry?

    s1=-u1^2/2a1 s2=-u2^2/2a2 s2>s1+d (If distance the car stops is bigger than the distance the lorry stops plus the initial distance then they will crash) (sub s1 and s2 in) -u2^2/2a2 > -u1^2/2a1+d Switch 2a2 with whole left side of equation. -u2^2/(-u1^2/2a1)+d > 2a2 Make the (d)a fraction by...

    MTW Box 21.1 - What can "add and subtract" do for Equation (12)?

    I haven't posted for a while and I am still (!) working through some of the things I didn't quite get in MTW Chapter 21. Here is my latest puzzle. I want to work out how to get from Equation (12) in the attachment, to Equation (15). I've tried the "add and subtract" ##\{\frac...

    Physics problem - Salmon jumping waterfall

    m * g * h + (1/2) * m * v² = m * g * y Simplifying the equation: g * h + (1/2) * v² = g * y Substituting the values: g * 0.614 + (1/2) * v² = g * 2.73 * sin(26.7°) Now, let's solve for v: (1/2) * v² = g * 2.73 * sin(26.7°) - g * 0.614 v² = 2 * (g * 2.73 * sin(26.7°) - g * 0.614) v = √(2...

    Maple Finding the solution of this long equation using Maple

    I need help solving an equation. I started using Maple, but had no success. Could someone explain to me which command to use? I need to find a very small value of ##x##, that is, ##x \ll 1##. The equation is $$434972871000000000.0+{\frac {\sqrt {6} \left( { 1.488388992\times 10^ {-36}}\,\ln...

    I What is the distinction between invariance and covariance?

    What is the difference between these two concepts? An equation is said to be "invariant" under some operation if the form of the equation doesn't change. However, isn't that exactly what "covariance" in physical laws means—that the form of the laws remains unchanged when applying an operation to...

    I Adding 'z' to 2D graph equation

    Hi. If I write any random equation in 2D then the graph undoubtedly shows up on that 2D graphing system. Equation example: ##x^2 y^2 + x^2 y + x y =1## My question is: if I take the same equation: ##x^2 y^2 + x^2 y + x y =1## and if I manipulate the equation by including another variable...

    Question about this Capacitor voltage integral equation

    Hi. I don´t know if this question should be in the maths forum, but as it´s related with circuit analysis, I will post it here. I just would like to know how you get: v(t) = 1/C ∫tt0 i(τ) dτ + v(t0) From: v(t)=1/C ∫t-∞ i(τ) dτ I just know the basics of calculus and I don´t know how to...

    Capacitor equation to be used in electrical analysis

    I am confused with the equation to be used for capacitor in electrical analysis The standard equation we have is Q=CV -> 1 the other equation is is V = Z*I ohms law Z is the impedance of the capacitor. Both are giving me voltage, which one to use ?
