I recently came across this website: http://www.recycleyourhomework.com

It's basically like a huge database of questions/answers. You submit an answer to a question to help someone else out, and your question that you ask will be answered by others. I personally like the idea.

I'm trying to contribute some answers, too. Try and help some fellow students out.

I'm in intro. physics in my school and we all try to figure this stuff out together, too. I just think that the combination of this site I showed you and these forums can really help a lot of people out. By all means, use this forum! I'm not trying to deter people at all from using it! But if you ever would like to use both, go for it! All I am doing is just trying to help people out. I really like the site I found and I think it can be very good if we all help contribute.
EDIT: If this is in the wrong forum, please move it to the appropriate one! Thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yeah, probably the wrong forum. But in the homework section of PF there is a pretty strict policy about not posting complete solutions. Do they enforce that there? If not, I wouldn't recommend making excessive use of it. Answer swapping doesn't help in understanding.
 
Yep, has explanations. :cool:
 
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 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
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...
