    Coil Generator
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a homework problem related to coils and generators, specifically focusing on calculating current and reactance. The initial calculations yield a current of 10A and an angle of 54.9° using the given voltage and impedance. Participants express uncertainty about finding the capacitive reactance (Xc) and suggest using the formula Xc = 1/ωC, but acknowledge the need for additional variables. Clarification is sought on which variables are necessary to proceed with the calculations. The conversation highlights the challenges in solving for reactance without complete information.

The Attempt at a Solution



1. I=v/z=110v/11Ω=10A

2. sinø=(Imax)(X)/v=(10A)(9Ω)/110V

ø=54.9°

3. I don't know what to do for this. I want to use Xc=1/ωC and solve for C but I need to first find Xc somehow

Among all the formulas there is an expression for Xc, but there also is a more useful one. Remove the others and you find it !
 
Yea I saw the expressions for Xc but I have a hard time solving for it since I don't have R and other variables that I need
 
You sure you need it ? And what other variables would you want to know ? For which of your relevant equations is that ?

What was it again you wanted to calculate ?
 

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...
