    Egg Strength
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on whether the color of chicken eggs, specifically brown versus white, affects their strength and ability to withstand force without cracking. Research indicates that egg color is primarily determined by the breed of the chicken and does not significantly influence the egg's structural integrity. The original poster is conducting a science fair project to explore this question further. There is a suggestion to conduct an experiment to investigate the strength of eggs directly. Overall, the consensus leans towards egg color having no substantial impact on strength.

Hey, I'm doing my science fair project on how much force can an egg withstand from one direction without cracking and i want to know if the color has anything to do with it. My mom says that she has heard that it is just the breed and i have looked up the question on the internet and it says that the color of the egg doesn't really have anything to do with it. I guess it just requires or either contains more food. Hmm...well, if anyone can get back to me on this before 8:30 Pacific time In the U.S.A. that would be great. Thanks!

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...
