AI Thread Summary
The equation 97.9747 = sinh(6.2737x10^9) raises questions about how to derive the value 5.2779. The confusion stems from the calculation process, with one suggestion being to use the inverse hyperbolic sine function, arcsinh. It was clarified that the correct approach involves calculating sinh^-1(97.9747) to arrive at the solution. The discussion highlights the importance of verifying the equation and understanding the mathematical functions involved. Ultimately, the solution is found through the application of the inverse hyperbolic sine.

97.9747 = sinh (6.2737x10^9) How did they solve this??

Homework Statement



Just an equation that I don't understand how they calculated.

97.9747 = sinh(6.2737x109)...
6.2737x109 = 5.2779

how did they get the 5.2779 ??

Can't you just take arcsinh?
 


That's not even close to correct. What context is this being brought up and are you sure you read it correctly or is not a typo?

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}...
