Multiple Choice: A Ball Rolls Off the Edge & Forces on an Object

AI Thread Summary
A ball rolling off a horizontal roof at 10.0 m/s will experience gravitational acceleration, resulting in a speed of 19.6 m/s after two seconds. The second question involves two 10 N forces acting at a 120-degree angle, where the resultant force can be calculated using vector addition, yielding approximately 17 N. The discussion emphasizes the importance of engaging with the material and demonstrating understanding rather than seeking direct answers. Participants are encouraged to share their work and specific challenges to facilitate learning. Overall, the thread highlights the educational goal of fostering problem-solving skills.

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...
