AI Thread Summary
The user is struggling with a seven-question assignment, having only completed the first question. They are seeking assistance to understand and complete the remaining questions, which are due on Friday. Another participant emphasizes that, according to forum guidelines, users must show their attempts at solutions before receiving help. The discussion includes a detailed analysis of free body diagrams for two masses, outlining forces such as friction, tension, and gravity. The user expresses confusion on how to proceed with the calculations for the second mass and is encouraged to sum the forces to find the tension.

I need a lot of help. :(

My assignment is attached. 7 Questions. I got number one, that's it. It's due on Friday.


Please someone help me with this. I need to understand it.

Help me out in part is fine. I don't have questions 2-7 done.


Thanks

As per PF guidelines, you must show your attempt at the solutions before we can provide you with any help.

Fair enough.

OK for 7.

I set up free body diagrams.

FBD of mass 1 has
- force of friction = 9.8 N pulling it left
- Normal force upwards
- Fg downwards
- tension pulling it right

FBD of mass 2
- friction directed upwards at 35 degrees
- tension also directed upwards at 35 degrees
- Fg perpendicular to the surface (not perpendicular to teh slope)
- normal force perpendicular to slope

X Direction for mass 1
Ftension-Ffriction=ma
Ft=9.8+ma

y Direction for mass 1
Fnormal-Fgravity=0
therefore Fn=Fg


Now I don't know what to do
 


Try to now sum the forces for the other object so that you can find the tension.
 

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...
