Frequency versus motor RPM and number of poles

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correct equation for calculating frequency in relation to motor RPM and the number of poles. Two equations are presented: F=N/60*P and F=N/120*P, with participants seeking clarification on which is accurate. A link to a website providing further discussion on the topic is shared for additional insights. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these equations in motor applications. The thread concludes with a reminder about ongoing member award voting in the Physics Forums.

Which equation is correct I have seen both-

F=N/60*P
Or
F=N/120*P

This is Frequency, N=RPM P=Poles

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
