What is the magnitude and angle of this complex number?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the magnitude and angle of a complex number expressed in terms of variables a and b. Participants express a need for assistance in converting the complex number to the form x + iy. There is a consensus that while users may not provide a final expression directly, they are willing to help guide others toward finding it. A resource link is shared to aid in understanding complex number conversions. Overall, the thread emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in mathematics.

Do you know how to convert it to the form x+iy?

no, that's way beyond my scope
all i need is the final expression
 
I don't think you´ll find anyone here giving you the final expression.

You might find people willing to help you find the final expression.

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...
