What is the acceleration of each body in the given figure?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the acceleration of bodies in a provided figure, with participants seeking assistance. Users are encouraged to analyze the forces on each mass and apply Newton's 2nd law for accurate calculations. Several individuals express frustration over not receiving direct answers, emphasizing the need for detailed step-by-step solutions. The community stresses the importance of sharing one's work to identify errors rather than simply asking for solutions. Overall, the conversation highlights the collaborative approach to problem-solving in physics.

Show your work in order to get help. What have you done and where are you stuck?

Hint: Analyze the forces on each mass separately and apply Newton's 2nd law.

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...
