AI Thread Summary
To find the coefficient of friction (n) from the equation 11000 = 12184/9n, rearranging the equation is necessary. First, multiply both sides by n to get 11000n = 12184/9. Then, divide both sides by 11000 to isolate n, resulting in n = 12184/(9*11000). This calculation provides the required coefficient of friction based on the experimental results. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper rearrangement of the equation to solve for n.

I am just about to find the co-efficient of friction from my experimental results, and from the equation I can't get past this bit. how do I calculate the co-efficient of friction from or which way do I re-arrange the equation so I can find n, the co-efficient of friction?

11000=12184/9n

Silly question innit! :biggrin:

11000=\frac{12184}{9n}

Multiply both sides by n

11000n=\frac{12184}{9}

Divide both sides by 11000

n=\frac{12184}{(9)(11000)}
 
thanking you so much :biggrin:

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
