At the bottom of the following link there are several related rate problems (disguised as demos :biggrin: ) When you click on a demo, the related rate question precedes the animation

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in improving your related rates skills. It's great to see that you are actively seeking out additional practice questions to strengthen your understanding of this topic.

I would recommend checking out online resources such as Khan Academy, MathisFun, and MathHelp.com for a wide range of related rates practice questions. Additionally, many textbooks and study guides have a section dedicated to related rates with plenty of practice problems for you to work through.

Another helpful tip is to create your own related rates problems by using real-life scenarios. This will not only give you more practice, but also help you see the practical applications of this concept.

Remember to take your time and fully understand each problem before moving on to the next. And don't be afraid to ask for help or clarification if you get stuck on a particular question.

Best of luck in your practice and I am confident that with dedication and determination, you will see improvement in your related rates skills. Keep up the great work!
 
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...
