AI Thread Summary

To convert Newtons per square meter to kilograms per square millimeter, start by expressing 1 Newton as kg·m/s². The conversion requires changing the units from meters to millimeters, where 1 m equals 1000 mm. By substituting and simplifying the units, the equation can be transformed accordingly. The discussion also mentions a specific value of 8.0 Newtons per square meter, though its relevance to the conversion process is uncertain. Ultimately, the conversion process hinges on proper unit transformation and dimensional analysis.

G = 0,0135*10ˇ10 kg/mm*sˇ2

G = 8,0*Newton*mˇ-2 <- How to transduct this to the one above? (to kg/mm*sˇ2)

You can start by expression 1 Newton in terms of kg, m and s.
Also, you can convert the mm in the first line to m. Then you will have everything in kg, m and s and it should be straightforward (however, I'm not sure about the 8,0).

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'

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
