AI Thread Summary
To find the diameter of a circle with 300 bases each spaced 0.36 nm apart, the total circumference is calculated as 108 nm. Using the formula C = π x diameter, the diameter is derived by dividing the circumference by π, resulting in approximately 34.4 nm. Converting this to micrometers gives a diameter of 3.44E-2 μm. The discussion highlights the importance of clarity in the problem statement for effective assistance. Overall, the calculations confirm the diameter based on the given parameters.

Homework Statement


A circle has 300 bases around it..each base being .36nm apart. What is the diameter in micrometers?


Homework Equations


C = pie x diameter


The Attempt at a Solution


.36nm x 300 bases = 108nm is the circumference

108nm = pie x diameter

108nm / pie = 34.4nm

34.4nm x .001 micrometers = 3.44E-2

correct?

Bases around circles? You'll really have to be a bit more specific, for the sake of everyone who wants to help.
 

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'

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...
