AI Thread Summary
To perform math operations like multiplication and division on a keyboard, users can utilize the equation editor in MS Word, which may need to be installed separately. The equation editor is user-friendly and effective for various mathematical tasks. For online math typesetting, LaTeX is recommended, with resources available in the General Physics forum. Users can find guidance on installing the equation editor through Word's help feature. Exploring these options will enhance the ability to perform math operations efficiently.

What program can I use...

to have all the math operations -- like the dot for multiplication and the division sign. I tried on word, but I don't have either on my keyboard.

Is there a particular program I could get?

Word includes equation editor. It's a module not installed by default though, so you might have to add it yourself. Help should be able to walk you through installing this.
 
For math typesetting on this forum we use Latex. See the sticky in General Physics. For MS Word, I've been using equation editor for a while and it is excellent for most operations (very easy to use).
 
Thank you. I'll check out the equation editor.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
