AI Thread Summary
To find matrices B that satisfy the equation AB = BA for A = [1 0; 1 1], one must express B in the form B = [a b; c d]. By multiplying both sides of the equation AB and BA, constraints on the variables a, b, c, and d can be derived. The discussion emphasizes the importance of calculating the product of A and B to identify these constraints. Additionally, the role of the inverse of matrix A in this context is questioned, highlighting its relevance in understanding the relationship between the two matrices. Ultimately, the solution requires careful algebraic manipulation of the matrix equations.

I would appreciate if someone could help me with this one.

Matrix A=[1 0 ; 1 1]
I need to find all matrices that satisfy: AB=BA
How can I find them?
PLease help :cry:

Try writing
B=\left(\begin{array}{cc}a & b \\ c&d \end{array}\right)

and check what the constraints on a,b,c and d are.
 
did that. And put A(inverse)* [a b;c d] = C*A(inverse)
 
What does the inverse have to do with everything...?

Daniel.
 
yea, just write out AB=BA using B=[a,b;c,d] and A=[1,0;1,1]
and multiply out both sides.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
