AI Thread Summary
The formula discussed is a representation of the Navier-Stokes equation, which describes the motion of incompressible Newtonian fluids. It incorporates variables such as velocity (V), time (T), and mass (M). The equation includes terms for the partial derivative of velocity over time, the gradient of pressure, and viscous forces. Understanding this equation is crucial for analyzing fluid dynamics in various applications. The discussion highlights the complexity of fluid mechanics and the importance of the Navier-Stokes equation in this field.

This will be slightly confusing but if you could try and hang in there with me

this is a breakdown of what the formula looks like most of which i will not be able to type out
V= velocity
T= time
M= mass


P( partial derivative of V over T + V * del operator * V)= negative del * P + M*del squared* V+R

That is all I have if you could just tell me what the formula is used for that would be helpful

I presume you mean this:
\rho (\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} + v \cdot \nabla v) = -\nabla p + \mu \nabla^{2}v + f

That is the Navier-Stokes equation describing the mechanics of an incompressible Newtonian fluid.
 
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...
