AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a short film project exploring the intersection of Physics and Pharmacy. Participants suggest incorporating concepts like radioisotopic labeling and molecular physics, which are integral to pharmacological research. Specific examples include radioimmunoassays, radioactive decay, and safety protocols related to radiation. The conversation highlights the practical challenges faced, such as a broken gamma counter, necessitating collaboration with a neighboring school. Overall, the project aims to creatively illustrate the vital role of Physics in the field of Pharmacy.

We have a short film project in Physics about the role of Physics in our course. I am a pharmacy student and me and my 3 teammates tried to write a plot summary but our storyline is not that good.

Can you provide me with any ideas we can do for our project? Thanks!

If it can be related to pharmacological research there is something called radioisotopic labeling. There's also molecular physics just about everywhere in pharmacology.

My colleague and I were writing the standard operating procedures today for some radioimmunoassays that we will be doing in October. Radioactive decay, tracer half-life calculation, tracer concentration calculation, Gamma-ray CPM calculation, radiation safety, etc.. All related to physics!

And our highlight of the day was we found out the gamma counter at our department is broken! So in October we will have to go to our neighbor - school of pharmacy - to use their gamma counter! Now, a new chapter in our SOP is needed - radioactive material transportation safety! :)
 
Thank you so much dimensionless and zspdztzx! I will try to make a plot with your suggestions. Thanks again! :)
 
You can't spell physics or pharmacy without 'ph'. Medicinal compounds were once called 'physics' (plural)
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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'

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...
