AI Thread Summary
Two non-isomorphic groups of order n squared are identified as Z_n x Z_n and Z_(n^2). Z_n x Z_n is not cyclic, while Z_(n^2) is cyclic, highlighting their non-isomorphic nature. The Klein four-group and Z_4 are also mentioned as examples of non-isomorphic groups of order 2^2. The distinction in their structures can be understood through their dimensions as vector spaces. This discussion clarifies the concept of non-isomorphic groups in group theory.

Find:2 Non-isomorphic groups of order n squared

i think that Zn X Zn is one.

Can you help me find another.


Thanks

Isomorphic to what?
 
nonisomorphic means not isomorphic to each other, doesn't it? like the klein 4-group & Z_4 both have order 2^2 but are nonisomorphic

since K_4 = Z_2 x Z_2 i conjecture off the cuff that the 2 nonisomorphic groups with order n^2 would be Z_n x Z_n and Z_(n^2)

If you mean non-isomorphic to each other, then you can take Z_(n^2) and Z_n x Z_n, for example (under addition).

In response to the above post: Indeed, those work, since Z_(n^2) is cyclic but Z_n x Z_n is not (you can see this alternatively in terms of vector spaces: dim(Z_(n^2)) = 1 but dim(Z_n x Z_n) = 2)

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
