Websites about velocity of sound for Report Intro.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding reliable websites for a report on the velocity of sound through various gases, particularly focusing on its historical context. The experiment aims to demonstrate how sound velocity relates to the atomic structure of matter and includes calculating the dimensionless gas coefficient. Users suggest utilizing Google Scholar for academic resources, which may provide more relevant information than standard search engines. There is also a question about whether to focus more on the dimensionless gas coefficient rather than the velocity itself. Overall, participants are seeking guidance on effective research strategies for their report.

I am doing a long report on an experiment on the Velocity of Sound through various gases, and I am doing the historical context part of the introduction section.

The experiment itself was to find the velocity of sound through different gases, and also to calculate from this the dimensionless gas coefficient. The intruction booklet says that this experiment helped to prove that matter was made up from atoms, but I have tried searching for relevant information, and tried using diffferent phrases through Search Engines, but cannot find anything useful. Does anyone recommend any helpful websites?

Does anyone recommend any helpful sites? Do I need to concentrate less on the velocity part, and more on the dimensionless gas coeffiecient??

Any suggestionb are most appreciated,

You could try searching in Google scholar if you haven't already.
 
What's Google Scholar? I've not heard of it before?

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...
