AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the correctness of Option B for Question 8 regarding viscosity. Participants express confusion about the question's validity, suggesting that Options A and D could also be correct. The relationship between temperature and viscosity is highlighted, noting that high temperatures lead to lower viscosity and vice versa. It is emphasized that low viscosity results in higher terminal velocity due to reduced resistance, while high viscosity leads to lower terminal velocity. Ultimately, the consensus is that only one answer can be correct, raising questions about the clarity of the question itself.

The question is attatched. The question is number 8.

I simply do not understand, if the question is right at all, because I believe that options A and D are both correct. But, B it seems is the answer. High temp means low visc. and vice versa, leading to A and D being correct.

Please explain why B is correct

Low viscosity means higher terminal velocity. (Less resistance)
High viscosity means lower terminal velocity.
Only one option can be 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'

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...
