Converting 4.10x10^4 N/M^3 to N/M

AI Thread Summary
To convert 4.10x10^4 N/M^3 to N/M, it's essential to clarify the context, as N/M^3 represents a different physical quantity than N/M. The discussion suggests that N/M^3 could be misinterpreted as a spring constant, which should be expressed in N/M. A spring constant indicates a linear relationship between force and length, while N/M^3 implies a relationship with volume, which is not applicable in this context. More information is needed to accurately address the conversion and its relevance to the problem at hand. Understanding the distinction between these units is crucial for proper application in physics.

How do you convert 4.10x10^4 N/M^3 to N/M or is it the same thing?

Umm, how do you convert a cubic foot to feet?

You haven't given enough information.

Is this a pressure problem, like a body with a pressure of X N/M^3 is released in direction Y and what is the resultant force in N/M in direction X, or Y, or Z?

Bottom line, need more info.
 
The question gave me that as a spring constant. in the example Which is very similar the spring constant was in N/M as opposed the question which was in N/M^3
 
A "spring constant" can't have units of N/M^3. N/M means that the strength of the force changes linearly as the length of the spring changes. "N/M^3" would mean that the strength of the spring changes linearly as the volume of the spring changes. What "volume of the spring" are you talking about?
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
