AI Thread Summary
To find the period T of the simple harmonic motion described by Z(t)=(5)Sin(2∏/3t), the constant multiplier in the sine function is identified as 2∏/3. The standard period of a sine function is 2π, which is modified by the constant K, resulting in a period calculated as T = 2π/(2π/3). This simplifies to T = 3 seconds. Therefore, the period of the motion is 3 seconds.

ooooooo... let's see...

The constant in this sin function is 2*pi/3 right? Since a regular sin function has a period of 2 pi and a constant K multiplier reduces the period to 2pi/K, and K in your situation is 2*pi/3... then...
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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...
