AI Thread Summary
A biophysics student is seeking help for an upcoming quiz focused on body mechanics, including topics like center of mass, static equilibrium, force, torque, levers, and mechanical advantage. The student’s textbook lacks examples, prompting a request for additional resources such as books, websites, and examples. Suggestions include consulting general physics textbooks at a library and visiting the professor for clarification on the subjects. Additionally, starting with Wikipedia for foundational information and links is recommended. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the importance of seeking diverse resources and guidance to prepare effectively for the quiz.

Hello,
(( sorry my english is limited))


I am a bioPhysics student.



I have a quiz next week,but my textbook has no examples about the topics.


i need to more examples ...please help me
((books ...examples...websites...etc)).


my exam is about body mechanics(center of mass ,,,ststic equilibrim,,,,center of mass of human,,,the froce,,,the torque,,,levers and mechanical advantage).

This is too broad a request. It is not possible to learn the topics you mention in one week. All I can suggest going to a library and taking a look at a general physics textbook to get an idea about what to specifically ask.

That is good advice.
 

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...
