How to find the current in the no resistor wire?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the current in a wire without a resistor, it's essential to first calculate the total resistance and current in the circuit, which has been done, yielding a total current of 0.1344A using the formula V=IR. However, to find the specific current in the no-resistor wire, a detailed analysis of the circuit configuration is necessary. Participants emphasize the importance of showing an attempt at solving the problem before receiving further assistance. This approach ensures that the discussion remains focused and constructive. Providing a clear step-by-step solution is crucial for effective help.

I can find the total resistance and then I found out the total current is 0.1344A by V=IR.
But I can't find the current in the no resistor wire I which the question need to find it.

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...
