AI Thread Summary
To add letters to a numbered list in LaTeX, one can use nested enumerations. The outer list is created with \begin{enumerate}\end{enumerate}, and the inner list can also utilize the same commands to create sub-items. By default, the inner list will use letters for its items, which achieves the desired format of numbering followed by letters. An example provided demonstrates this structure effectively. This method allows for clear organization of content in a hierarchical format.

I didn't know where to post this, so I apologize if it's in the wrong place. I know how to make a numbered list using \begin{enumerate}\end{enumerate}, etc., etc., but I would like to know how to add letters to each number. For example:

1 (a)
(b)
.
.
.

Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

Yes, thank you very much.
 
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...
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}...
