AI Thread Summary
To convert W²/NJHz to MKS units, start with the expression W²/NJHz. Substitute W with J/s, leading to (J/s)² in the numerator. This simplifies to J²/s², and substituting J with Nm gives (Nm)²/s². After canceling units, the final result simplifies to m/s, confirming the conversion is correct.

Just plug those values into the expression and cancel everything that can be canceled.
 
\frac{W^2}{NJHz} <br /> = \frac{(\frac{J}{s})^2}{NJ\frac{1}{s}} <br /> = \frac{\frac{J}{s}}{N} <br /> = \frac{Nm}{Ns} <br /> = \frac{m}{s}<br />

is this right?

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...
