RLC Circuit: Find Missing Component - Inductor?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the missing component in an RLC circuit with an impedance of 192 and a phase angle of -75 degrees. Participants suggest that the missing component could be an inductor or a capacitor, with a focus on the inductor. The reasoning provided highlights that the voltage across an inductor leads the current by 90 degrees, which may explain the negative phase angle. The conversation emphasizes the relationship between impedance, phase angle, and circuit components. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards the possibility of an inductor being the missing element in the circuit.

1. if a impedance at 192 ,phase angle -75, resistor 49.7, wat missing in this circuit? A inductor or capacitor?
Can it be a inductor?

maybe :rolleyes: …

give reasons! :wink:​
 
Inductor since The instantaneous voltage across the inductor VL leads the instantaneous current by 90 degrees. Is that the reason?
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
