AI Thread Summary
In a static equilibrium scenario involving a ladder leaning against a wall, the friction force must act at the ground to prevent slipping. For the pendulum problem, the period of 1.66 seconds and a pendulum length of 1.00 meter can be used to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the planet. Relevant equations include the formula for the period of a simple pendulum, T = 2π√(L/g), where T is the period, L is the length, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. To find g, rearranging the formula is necessary after substituting the known values. Clear calculations and the correct application of these equations are essential for solving both problems.

HELP ME with THESE QUESTIONS P L E A S E ! thanks

6) a ladder on the ground is leaning against a wall. if the ladder is in static equilibrium,where must a friction force act on the ladder?
a. at the wall
b. at the ground
c. both

7) the period of a simple pendulum in a grandfather clock on another planet is 1.66s. what is the acceleration due to gravity on this planet? assume the length of the pendulum is 1.00m

You will need to show us some work and list the equations you think are relevant to these problems before you can expect any 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...
