    Cycle Efficiency
AI Thread Summary
The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing work when solving problems related to cycle efficiency. Participants highlight that simply seeking the final answer undermines the learning process and the expectations set by mentors. There is a consensus that communication and understanding are crucial for productive engagement in problem-solving. The mentors prioritize teaching over providing direct answers to ensure comprehension. Overall, the focus is on fostering a deeper understanding rather than just obtaining results.

Since I'm sure that the mentors will call you out on this, you might want to show your attempted solution/work.
 
The steps will help but ideally I just need the exact answer.

Lol yeaaahh...I think you're missing the point. The point isn't what you need, it's establishing a line of communication that's more productive and not cheating. The mentors don't want you to do it, they require it.
 

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 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...

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...
