AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on verifying the calculations for an inductor's inductance and reactance. The inductance was calculated to be 0.175 H based on a reactance of 99 ohms at 90 Hz. The reactance at 130 Hz was calculated to be 143 ohms using the inductance value. Participants confirmed the calculations were correct, with a clarification on the initial reactance value. Overall, the calculations were validated by the forum members.

Dear all,

could someone pls check my 2 answers, if they're correct?

thanks

An inductor has a reactance of at 9.0E1 Hz. Answer the following questions:
All answers must have three significant digits unless otherwise specified.

(a)What is its inductance? (Unit: H)

answer:

X(L) = wL

L = 99 / (2 * (pie) * 90)

= 0.175H

(b) What is its reactance at 1.3E2 Hz? (Unit: ohm)

answer:

X(L) = wL
= (2 * pie * 1.3E2) (0.175)
= 143 ohm

thanks again

Did you omit a number?

reactance of at 9.0E1 Hz.

Did you mean to say, "a reactance of ______ at 90 Hz"?
 
Sorry,
it's 99 ohm at 90Hz

thanks

Both of your answers look good to me.
 
Thanks ALOT Janitor!
 
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...
