AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on rearranging two equations to isolate F while eliminating Ev. Participants suggest starting by expressing both equations in terms of Eph and combining them into a single equation. Gareth shares his initial attempt and seeks confirmation on its correctness. Another user confirms the approach and suggests a simplified method for combining the equations. The conversation concludes with Gareth expressing gratitude for the assistance received.

Hi guys

I have question in my homework to rearrange 2 equations. see picture attached.

the equation has to have F as the subject and not have Ev in the equation.

Can someone point me in the right direction please

Gareth

Hi,
I´ll help you with the first step:
Both formulas express Eph.
So you have to replace Eph in both of them and write the remaining parts as one equation.
Then the rest should be easy.

Ah right.

Thanks for the help by the way.

I have attached my first atempt. Is this correct or could you tell me where I have gone wrong?

Maybe what I'm saying is stupid, but can't you simply put them together?
By doing so, you would have:

hc*t/b= h*f
then you can transform it into

f= hc*t / (b*h)

EDIT: pardon me...I haven't seen that someone had already answered...
 
Seems perfectly correct to me.

Brilliant

Thanks for the help guys.

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...
