AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around interpreting the triple integral expression $$\int \frac{d^{3} x}{y^{3}}$$ and whether it represents the integral of "y" with respect to "x." Participants emphasize the need for additional context, such as bounds and whether "y" is a function of position in three dimensions, to fully understand the expression. The notation ##d^3x## is clarified as shorthand for multiple variables, indicating that there isn't a single variable "x" involved. Without more information, the expression remains ambiguous and cannot be accurately evaluated. Context is essential for meaningful interpretation of the integral.

Hi, just wondering does this mean the triple integral of "y" with respect to "x"?
$$
\int \frac{d^{3} x}{y^{3}} .
$$

Without the benefit of the context, I would say a cautious "yes". Cautious because ##d^3x## is shorthand for ##dx_1~dx_2~dx_3## so there is no single variable of integration "x".

any context? bounds ? Complete problem statement ?
 
Is y a function of position in three dimensions?

I found it in a textbook, it's very general "equation".

What you posted is an expression, not an equation. What is the rest of it?
There must be some context or it would be meaningless.
 
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}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
