Examine the following circuit and complete the table

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating resistance, current, and voltage for a circuit with given values. The user has provided resistance values for R1, R2, R3, and R4, along with current and voltage readings. There is uncertainty regarding the voltage for R3 and the total resistance, with a calculation attempt for R3 using V3/I3. Participants express difficulty in understanding the provided information and emphasize the need for clarity on the initial data given for the problem. Accurate calculations and clear presentation of data are essential for resolving the user's queries.

Moved from a technical forum, so homework template missing
so for resistance I've gotten r1=6 r2=5 r3=8 and r4=12. then for current i got r1-.30 r2=.24 r3=.06 r4=.06 amd volatge r1=1.8 r2=1.2 r3=.48 r4=.72. I am not sure about my voltage for r3 what i did was Vt-r1-r4 and when i add them up i get 3v so that should be right? and I am also not sure about resistance total or my r3 for my r3 i did...
R3=V3/I3=.48V/.06A=8 is all my information right?

Yikes, I tried processing your image, and it's still really hard for me to read... Can you say in words what it shows?

We need to know what data the problem came with. It is difficult to tell the difference between what you were given and what you have calculated.
 

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...
