OK, so I'm new here and really lost on how to these two problems involving blood pressure and syringe force etc. Any help would be appreciated, and if you could somewhat explain how you solved it that would be great, so I can know how to do this in the future. Homework Statement 1...

Hi, I was given a problem by the professor, and I feel like I do not know where to begin. Well, here is the problem: -------- Endless, parallel East-to-West lines are spaced 2 inches apart on the ground, and a needle of length 1 inch is randomly tossed on the ground. Compute the probability...

In the "buffons needle" riddle you have a paper with horizontal lines in it all 1 unit apart and you drop a needle 1 unit long - you have to calculate the chance that the needle will hit a line. but i remembered the riddle wrong so instead i tried to solve the same question with both horizontal...

1)The time period of a dip needle vibrating in the vertical plane in the magnetic meridian is 3 seconds. When the same magnetic needle is made to vibrate in the horizontal plane, the time period of vibration is 3(2)^(1/2). What is the angle of dip of the place? I think in both the cases, it is...
