AI Thread Summary
To calculate the optimum temperature for water to condense from the atmosphere, one should use a psychrometric chart, which helps determine the dew point based on ambient temperature and humidity. The dew point can be traced on the chart to find the corresponding temperature for condensation. Additionally, the type of surface can influence the amount of condensation, although specific calculations for this effect are not clearly defined. A new inquiry was raised regarding the simplest and cheapest method to accurately measure the surface tension of water. Understanding these factors is crucial for applications involving condensation and surface interactions.

Thankyou For Your Consice Help. Question : Apart From Temprature Does The Type Of Surface Influence The Amount Of Condensation Given The Due Point Caculations ? Thankyou.
 
The type of surface does have an effect, but I don't know how you would calculate it.
 
New Question, What Is The Simplest And Cheapest Method To Accuratley Measure The Surface Tension Of Water.
 
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...
