AI Thread Summary
To isolate "d" in the equation involving square roots, the discussion clarifies that the correct interpretation of the square root symbol is crucial. The initial equation 1050 = 2700 / sqrt(d) can be rearranged to d = (1050^2) / (2700^2), resulting in d = 49/324. Additionally, for the equation 0.388 = /sqrt(d), squaring both sides yields d = 0.15054. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly interpreting the equations in the context of string vibrations at specified frequencies.

Such a simple problem that I am stuck on...

1050=2700 /d
0.388=/d

how do i get "d" by itself? ( the "/" is square root not divide)
edit: is "D" diameter or distance... one is "d" and other is "D"

#1)

1050=2700*/sqrt(d)
1050^2=2700^2*d
d=1050^2/2700^2 =49/324

#2)

.388=/sqrt(d)
.388^2=d
d = .15054
 
Square both sides
 
thanks guys, i was thinking that, but in the question it was dealing with string vibrations were 1050hz and 2700hz and 1mm..

original question:

(1050)(/sqrt 1)=(2700)(/sqrt D)

got to that last part and forgot what to do so i did it like this:

if 1mm equals 1050hz - then 1/1050 would equal how many mm's per hz
it was 0.000952mm/1hz

so then 0.000952mm/1hz * 2700hz would equal my answer of 2.57mm but i guess its not right...

thanks again

Are those slashes part of the root sign ? 1050\sqrt{1}= 2700\sqrt{D} ? If so, just divide both sides by 2700.
 
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...
