The Attempt at a Solution



IMG_6413.jpg
The above is my attempt to solve question a), is this right approach? Now all i need to do is solve for theta? Or am i completely off track?

Also, i have no idea how to approach question b). some insight would be helpful... Thanks!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, you have the correct approach. Yes, now solve for θ.

Solving (a) will help you see how to answer (b).
 
thanks, i figured both of them out :)
 
Looks like you're on the right track. Google trigonometric identities to figure out how to solve the quadratic. You'll get two angles as a solution.
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
