AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the current i as a function of time t for a 5-henry inductor with the given voltage function V=(6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21). The integration of V leads to an expression involving natural logarithms, which is correctly noted as i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2 + ln(t+7)^4 + k). Participants clarify that differentiation is unnecessary since the current function has already been derived from the integral. The importance of including the 1/L factor, which is accounted for as 1/5 due to the 5-henry inductor, is also emphasized. The final formula for current as a function of time is confirmed to be correct.

I hope anyone could give me a hand on this one...

The induced emf in a 5-henry inductor varies as V=(6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21). Recalling that current i=1/L∫Vdt, find the formula for the current i as a function of time t.

This is what I've gotten so far...

∫(6t+26)/(t^2+10t+21)=(6t+26)/(t+3)(t+7)=A/(t+3)+B(t+7)=2/(t+3)+4/(t+7) dt

i=1/5∫2/(t+3)+4/(t+7)dt
i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2+ln(t+7)^4+k...

Well should I stop here since I've gotten only the variable t on the right side of the formula or should differentiate it since they are asking for the formula of currentas a function of time t? If so... is this correct?

di/dt=1/5{[(2t+6)/(t+3)^2]+[(4t+28)/(t+7)^4)]}

Thank you again guys...

You want i as a function of time, and that is what you have!

There is no reason to differentiate it- remember that integration and differentation are "opposites" differentiating now would just return you to the function you integrated!

(What happened to 1/L? Shouldn't that be in there?)
 
So the answer will be i=1/5(ln(t+3)^2+ln(t+7)^4+k...

now about the 1/L this is the 1/5 (I had 5-henry inductor)...
Is it right?
 
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...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
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 $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
