AI Thread Summary
To find the volume of a three-dimensional object, multiply its dimensions together, as demonstrated with the values 2.52, 4.57, and 5.61, resulting in approximately 64.607004. This method is valid for box-shaped objects with right angles. It's important to consider significant figures and units in the final answer, as these factors may affect grading. Ensuring accuracy in these aspects can be crucial for homework assignments. The discussion emphasizes the straightforward nature of volume calculation while highlighting common academic considerations.

The Attempt at a Solution



All you have to do is multiply the three right

So the answer would be 64.607004?

Thanks

If it's a box shape (with all the angles 90º), then yes. :smile:

(why is that worrying you? :confused:)​

Correct.

However, does your teacher mark off points for either (1) the wrong number of significant figures, or (2) not including the units in the answer or calculation?
 

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...
