can u just check if these questions are correct.
a) P=W/t for t
answer t=w/p
b)e=IR+Ir for I
ANSWER, I=R/e+r/e
c) x=a/y for y
ANSWER-y=a/x
d)F=ma for a
answer F/m=a

b) should be : I = e/(R + r)
c) should be : y = a/x

Expressed step by step for clarity the solution to (b) is as follows:

e = IR + Ir
e = I(R + r)
I = e/(R +r)
 
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...
