AI Thread Summary
To calculate the monthly cost of operating a 2.6-kW toaster for 4 minutes daily, the energy consumed must be determined first. The toaster uses 2.6 kW for 4 minutes, which needs to be converted to hours for accurate cost calculation. The total energy consumption over 30 days is then multiplied by the energy cost of 11 cents per kWh. Ensuring correct unit conversions and using the proper formula for work is crucial for obtaining the right answer. Accurate calculations will yield the expected operating cost for the toaster.

Help in work URGENT!

A 2.6−kW toaster takes roughly 4 minutes to heat four slices of bread. Find the cost of operating the toaster once per day for 1 month (30 days). Assume energy costs 11 cents/kWh.

so we can find work done by integrating..thts all i knoe..and then we multiply by 30 and by 11..seem rite..??..the thing is I am not gettin the rite answer..

make sure your units are correct...are you converting minutes to hours? What formula are you using for work?
 

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...
