AI Thread Summary
To properly ask for homework help in online forums, users must adhere to specific rules, including waiting 24 hours before bumping a thread. It's essential to demonstrate personal effort by showing work completed, as this helps others understand where assistance is needed. The forum is designed for problem-solving guidance rather than providing direct answers. Additionally, homework questions should be posted in the appropriate subject-specific forums to ensure they reach the right audience. Following these guidelines enhances the chances of receiving effective help.

Please read the forum rules.

First, bumping a thread is against the rules unless you wait 24 hours

Second, you have to show some effort on your own before you'll get any help here. This forum is about helping people figure out how to solve problems, not about giving them answers. If you don't show your own work, no one can know where you are having a problem.

And third, post HW problems in one of the HW forums. The Mechanical Engineering forum is not the place for HW problems.

I'm moving this thread to the Intro Physics HW forum.

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 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
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...
