AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using Gauss-Jordan row reduction to solve a system of linear equations. A user requests assistance with the equations 4x + y - 3z = 11, 2x - 3y + 2z = 9, and x + y + z = -3, emphasizing the need for all row operations to be shown. Another participant advises that users should attempt the problem first and share their work to receive better assistance. This approach encourages engagement and learning rather than simply asking for solutions. Overall, the conversation highlights the importance of demonstrating effort in problem-solving within the forum.

Use guass jordan reduction

4x+y-3z=11
2x-3y+2z=9
x+y+z=-3

Please show all row operations.

Yes, please do.
 
PaulChem, you're new here. Welcome to PF. I think Hurkly means that we don't "do" homework here but rather "assist" you with problems you have. That is, you need to show an attempt first. Even if you just messed the numbers up a bit and moved them randomly around and then said, "Hi guys, I'm new here and having problems reducing this. I can get this far:

< show work here>

Can someone help me?

See, that's much better than just saying, "here, do it".
 
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...
