AI Thread Summary
To find the angle between two forces of equal magnitude when their resultant is also equal to the magnitude of either force, one must analyze the vector addition of the forces. The problem suggests that the forces are equal and the resultant is the same as their individual magnitudes, indicating a specific geometric relationship. A graphical representation can aid in visualizing the forces and their resultant. The solution involves applying principles from vector mathematics, particularly the law of cosines. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving problems related to vectors and forces.

AnGle Between two forces...!?

Hi this is asn,
i got this problem here and its like " Find the angle between two forces of equal magnitudes when the magnitudes of their resultant is also equal to the magnitude of either of these forces?""

Can anyone please solve this question for me ... its from the vectors chapter ?
:frown: :frown: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :cry: :cry:

You might want to start by drawing yourself a large picture of the resultant of two vectors (and use smaller text) :-p .
 

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'

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...
