AI Thread Summary
In the equation l/x, the variable l represents an unknown constant that can take on any value, depending on the context of the calculation. The user is attempting to divide l by x-axis values ranging from 1 to 8 but lacks clarity on what l specifically denotes. Previous graphs included various transformations of x, such as squaring and cubing, but the current task requires determining the value of l/x. Without additional information about the context or the specific value of l, it remains indeterminate. Understanding the purpose of l in this scenario is crucial for accurate calculations.

1. to determine values i have:

1. x^2
2. Square root of (x)
3. l/x

what does l stand for in number 3

That completely depends on the context of what you are using them to calculate. What exactly are you trying to do?
 
I am trying to divide l by my x-axis values (1 through 8) but I don't know what l means... In my other graphs I squared x, cubed x, square rooted x, and square cubed x... in this one I am suppose to suppose to Determine the value of (l/x).
 
Have you been told what number l represents? l is just some number, it could be ANY number, but more information is needed to determine which number it is.
 

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...
