AI Thread Summary
Resources for understanding Newton's Laws and solving related physics problems are being sought due to a missed class. The individual is looking for detailed explanations and guidance on forming equations rather than direct answers to specific problems. Previous searches yielded insufficient information, and local tutoring options are unavailable. Suggested online resources include educational websites that offer tutorials and explanations on Newton's Laws. The discussion emphasizes the need for comprehensive learning tools to aid in test preparation.

Ok first off I am posting this for my GF she missed a day of class and has become lost on some of the things that were covered that day I have done every search I can think of and come up with nothing... I am going to post a few scans from the problems she and I cannot figure out for the life of me..

We have tried everything we can think of and every search we can think of. I am not trying to get answers because that won't help her with her test on thursday if anyone can direct me to what I should be searching for or any link with a detailed explanation of these problems and how to form the equation. We have found some of the information in tutorials on Newton's Laws but nothing detailed enough to solve the problems or even begin to form the equations..

I know this is probibley a long show that anyone will be able to respond in time but its really a last hope we can't even find a tutor for Physics in our area.

Thank you very much Brad...

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...
