AI Thread Summary
To calculate the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor with a third metal plate, the distance between the plates is 10 mm, and the area of each plate is 100 cm². The third plate, which is 8 mm thick, is positioned within the air gap. Participants are reminded to show their attempts at solving the problem before seeking assistance, as per forum guidelines. The discussion emphasizes the importance of adhering to posting protocols for homework-related queries. Proper adherence to these rules is necessary to facilitate effective assistance.

1. There are two parallel plates with distance between them 10 mm. Square of each plate is 100cm2. The third metal plate of thickness 8mm is situated in parallel inside the air gap. Find capacitance of this
capacitor.

Since you are repeatedly ignoring the guidelines,
Physics Forums Global Guidelines said:
Homework Help:
On posting questions: Any and all high school and undergraduate homework assignments or textbook style exercises for which you are seeking assistance are to be posted in the appropriate forum in our Homework & Coursework Questions area. This should be done whether or not the problem is part of one's coursework. The reason for this is that the scientific and mathematical sections of Physics Forums are to be reserved for discussions and not academic assistance. Since graduate level assignments are meant to be more thought provoking (and hence more worthy of discussion), graduate level questions will be allowed in the relevant part of the main section of PF, provided that the graduate student attempts the problem and shows his work. NOTE: You MUST show that you have attempted to answer your question in order to receive help.

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...
