AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving the limit equation as n approaches infinity, specifically for the variable r. The equation presented is complex, involving terms pa(n), pi(n), and ps(n), which are unclear to some participants. There is confusion regarding the structure of the equation, particularly whether the terms are meant to be in the numerator or denominator. Participants seek clarification on the meaning of the subscripts and the overall intent of the equation. The conversation highlights the need for clearer definitions and structure in mathematical expressions.

Alright, ALMOST done this assignment...
i just need to solve this problem.
The limit as n goes to infinity = 1+r (pa(n) + 0.9 pi(n) + 1.1 ps(n)) = 1
(pa(n) +pi(n) + ps(n))

I need to solve for r...
Cheers

I have no idea what you mean! What are pa(n), pi(n), ps(n)?
Was that last (pa(n)+ pi(n)+ ps(n)) intended to be a denominator? What are those "=" supposed to mean? Normally, you find the limit of an expression, not an equation.
 
I think those "a","i","s" are subscripts.But i have no idea where they come from...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
