Finding the inductor value with a frequency range

AI Thread Summary
To find the inductor value for a series RLC tuning circuit resonating at the middle frequency of 55.2 MHz, the formula 1/(2*pi*sqrt(LC)) is applied. The circuit utilizes a 15.8 pF capacitor. Initial attempts involved calculating inductance using the lowest, highest, and middle frequencies. A clarification was made regarding the use of the correct units in calculations. The discussion highlights the importance of unit accuracy in solving for inductance.

Homework Statement


A television channel is assigned the frequency range 53.2 to 57.2 MHz. A series RLC tuning circuit in a TV receiver resonates in the middle of this frequency range. The circuit uses a 15.8 pF capacitor. What is the value of the inductor (in mH)?

thank you but i got it i was using the wrong units
 

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...
