Homework Equations


##r=0.15-0.05cos(\omega t)## ##\omega = \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}}##
##\vec{E}=\frac{Qk}{r^2}##

The Attempt at a Solution


In my end result, I got the same thing as above, but with 10^5 in the numerator. According to the solutions guide, the final answer is a simplification of ##\frac{2.7*10^4}{(0.15-0.05cos(13.92t))^2}## Did I make a mistake or did the textbook? Thank you.

Hi Calpalned. Is this a problem easily solved in your head, or is there some working that you have forgotten to attach?
 
I solved it already, It just want to check if it's 10^5 or 10^7
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
