AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a quadratic equation, specifically 36 = 49s^2. Participants clarify that the equation can be rearranged to the standard form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 by moving 36 to the other side, resulting in 49s^2 - 36 = 0. The original poster expresses initial confusion but acknowledges understanding after revisiting the problem. The exchange highlights the importance of breaking down quadratic equations for clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in math.

Not getting this question. SHould be easy. Got the rest of the assignment..

36=49s^squared...

it's a quadratic equation.. supposed to solve from the form of ax^squared plus bx plus c equals zero...

need help.

just move the 36 to the other side, so the answer is 49s^2-36

haha... I'm a little slow. it just took me a little while of going over the question again and again. thanks for the 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'

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...
