AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a calculation error in determining equivalent resistance, where one participant consistently arrives at 45.3 ohms instead of the correct 25.6 ohms. The resolution requires sharing intermediate steps to identify the mistake. Another participant emphasizes the importance of carefully distinguishing between series and parallel components in the problem. Ultimately, the original poster acknowledges a lack of common sense in their approach. The conversation highlights the significance of methodical problem-solving in physics calculations.

Can't tell where your mistake is unless you post your intermediate steps that lead you to a (false) answer of 45.3 ohms, but I did it my self and I found it to be 25.6 ohms indeed (25.555 to be more precise).

Yes I figured it out I wasn't using my common sense, thank youDelta2 said:

Not exactly common sense, but it is kind of easy problem if you carefully identify the components in series and the components in parallel.danielsmith123123 said:
Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction.
F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N;
F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N;
F3=50000-4000=46000 N?
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system
$$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$
$$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$
$$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$
$$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$
$$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$
$$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$
$$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$
from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies.
$$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: Find Electric field due to charges between 2 parallel infinite planes using Gauss law at any point
Here's the diagram. We have a uniform p (rho) density of charges between 2 infinite planes in the cartesian coordinates system. I used a cube of thickness a that spans from z=-a/2 to z=a/2 as a Gaussian surface, each side of the cube has area A.
I know that the field depends only on z since there is translational invariance in x and y directions because the planes are...
