I was wondering if for real images, do the objects and image always end up on the same side of a mirror/lens?

AI Thread Summary
Real images do not always exist on the same side of a mirror or lens as the object. For instance, a convex lens creates a real image on the opposite side of the lens from the object. Participants discussed mnemonic devices to help remember these concepts, highlighting the challenge of memorizing detailed information. A link to a Wikipedia page on curved mirrors was shared as a resource. Understanding the positioning of objects and images is crucial in optics.
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...
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
$$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is
The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect.
