How do I figure out the impedance if the figures are shown in watts? I am used to seeing the values in rectangular form.

your picture is sideways and ridiculously large. please edit your post and read the FAQ

We can't answer a question based on a picture we can't see. The picture is out of focus and cuts half of the text.

It baffles me how often people can't take the time to write an acceptable post.

I can picture you waving your fist in the air, haha calm down!

Picture looks ok to me pal, you can see the power figures in place instead of the usual Z impedance. I was saying I have never came across this before.

Please read this before posting. You aren't getting any help by being passive aggressive.
 

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...
