AI Thread Summary
To approximate the area of the region bounded by y = sin(x), y = 0, x = 0, and x = π, one can use methods such as Riemann sums or definite integrals. The discussion highlights the need for a visual representation, which is not accessible in the provided link. It suggests that understanding the integral and limit concepts is crucial for solving the problem. The area can be calculated by integrating sin(x) from 0 to π. The final answer should be rounded to three decimal places.

Use the rectangles in each graph to approximate the area of the region bounded by y = sin(x), y = 0, x = 0, and x = π. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

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...
