    Gauss Magnetism
AI Thread Summary
A 40,000 Gauss magnet represents a very strong magnetic field, significantly stronger than typical magnets. Gauss measures magnetic flux density, indicating that higher values correspond to stronger magnetic fields. This strength can also be expressed in Weber units, where an increase in Gauss correlates with an increase in Weber. Such powerful magnets have substantial pull forces, enabling them to attract or repel other magnets effectively. Their strength makes them valuable in various industrial and scientific applications, including medical equipment and generators.

"scientists can produce magnets as strong as 40,000 Gauss"

now when Ill come to calculate the force between two of these magnets,
I will have to know their "strength". according to the 40K Gauss, what will be this strength?

In other words, what does 40,000Gauss tell me about its strength?
(i think strength is in Weber units)

The strength of a 40,000 Gauss magnet is quite high compared to other magnets. Gauss is a unit of magnetic flux density and it measures the strength of a magnetic field. The higher the Gauss value, the stronger the magnetic field. In this case, a 40,000 Gauss magnet indicates a very strong magnetic field. This strength can be measured in units of Weber, which is a unit of magnetic flux. So, the higher the Gauss value, the higher the Weber value and the stronger the magnet is. In practical terms, a 40,000 Gauss magnet would have a very strong pull force and would be able to attract or repel other magnets with a significant amount of force. This strength makes it useful in a variety of industrial and scientific applications, such as in medical equipment, motors, and generators.
 
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...
