AI Thread Summary
To calculate the amount of water flowing out of a small opening, the formula V = Svt can be used, where V is the volume of water, S is the cross-sectional area of the opening, and v is the velocity of the water. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of showing prior attempts at solving the problem to receive effective guidance. Without specific details about the calculations attempted, it's challenging to provide further assistance. Engaging with the community by sharing work is crucial for receiving targeted help. Clear communication of the problem and efforts made is essential for effective problem-solving.

You are not telling us much about the problem...

Anyway if ##v## is the velocity of the water in the opening and ##S## is the cross section area of the opening then the amount of water that flows out in time ##t## is ##V=Svt##.

Welcome to the PF. Please show us what you have tried so far. We cannot offer much tutorial help until we see your work. Thank you.
 

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'

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...
