    Angle Work
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the angle dependence of work in a physics lab context, specifically regarding the relationship between a Newton scale reading and the horizontal component of force. The user seeks clarification on how to calculate the horizontal force component when given an angle, using the formulas Fx = F cos theta and Fy = F sin theta. They provide specific values, including mass, distance, angle, and Newton scale reading, but express confusion about the terminology used in the question. The user is particularly interested in how the Newton scale reading relates to the horizontal force exerted by the mass in a scenario involving a cart and pulley system. Overall, the thread highlights the need for a clearer understanding of force components in physics problems.

Hi ppl..

I have to hand this questions about Physics on Dec 6th.. & I really need help on it... Plz if possible answer this question. I will love to help someone in other way. Thx in advance :)

This is a question on Lab:Angle dependence of work

1) What is the relationship between the Newton scale reading and the horizontal component of the force exerted by the mass?

2) how to find horizontal component of the force mass?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
if u are given an angle, then just use Fx = F cos theta, Fy = F sin theta
 
Thx for reply ,, BuT

I do have an angle.. for the first part i have 0.1 kg, distance=0.1m, angle=70*, N=0.2

but the question asks for Horizontal component of the force mass. Y does it say mass??

this is about the cart pulled away by Newton's scale and mass hangin over the pulley problem.

and you wht is the relationship between Newton scale reading and horizontal component of the force exertd by the mass ?

Do I use m*N?
 
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...
