    Information Torque
AI Thread Summary
Information on torque can be found through various online resources, including educational websites and physics forums. The user is seeking study guides and review questions to prepare for an upcoming test on torque and springs. Despite missing the initial lesson, they aim to refresh their understanding of torque quickly. Simple Google searches are recommended for finding relevant materials. Engaging with specific questions can also help clarify any uncertainties.

I don't actually need help with homework, but rather some advice. I'm in AP Physics B and we just finished learning torque. My teacher covered torque in just under two days and moved on to springs. Unfortunately, I was absent the first day, so I'm pretty rusty at torque. Does anyone know of a good site where I can find information on torque, and possible a study-guide/review questions? I have a test on torque and springs friday, and i'd like to brush up on torques in time for the test. Thanks in advance.

You should be able to find everything you need by doing some simple google searches. If there's something specific you're not sure about, or if you need any explanation, just shout out loud. :wink:
 
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...
