AI Thread Summary
To calculate the angle of fuzzy dice hanging from a rearview mirror during acceleration, the forces acting on the dice must be analyzed. The downward gravitational force (Mg) and the tension force (T) must be resolved into their components, with the horizontal component equal to the mass times acceleration (M(3.54 m/s^2)) and the vertical component balancing the weight (Tsin(theta) = Mg). The equations Tcos(theta) = M(3.54 m/s^2) and Tsin(theta) - Mg = 0 are essential for finding the angle theta. The discussion highlights the need for proper application of trigonometric relationships to derive the angle from the tension components. Understanding these force dynamics is crucial for solving the problem accurately.

I'm not sure I have enough info but the question goes like this...Fuzzy dice are hanging from a rearview mirror. The car accelerates at 3.54m/s^2 What angle will the dice make with the vertical? I have a force diagram showing of the dice Mg points down. T points up to the right in the 1st quadrant. For the summation of forces I have Fx=Tcos(theta)=M(3.54m/s^2) and Fy=Tsin(Theta)-Mg=0. What am I missing? Not sure how to find theta..Thanks

Thanks but why does that work. (Where is the Homework forum?)[?] [?]
 
Ambi,

Do me a favor and try using some of the LaTeX code! :)

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...
