AI Thread Summary
To find Uab and Ucd in the given circuit, it is essential to determine the potential drop across the resistor R1, which can be calculated using the formula Uab = R * I. The circuit requires simplification, particularly noting that resistors R3 and R5 are in parallel. There is confusion regarding the meaning of a wire marked in red, which needs clarification. Additionally, the absence of voltage or current sources suggests that Uab may represent the equivalent resistance between nodes a and b. Understanding these elements is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

I have no idea how to find it.
I think that Uab=R*I

To find Uab you have to find the potential drop across the resistor R1.
Try to simplify the circuit.
Hint : R3 and R5 are in parallel connection.
 


thank you.
can you explain me what that wire marked in red means?

I don't see any voltage or current sources in that circuit, so if "Uab means R*I" then I suppose _you_ mean that it's the equivalent resistance "seen" between nodes a and b. Right?

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...
