    Calculate superconductor's magnetic susceptibility from Inductance

    Homework Statement Hi, I have some data taken on voltage and resistance of a coil part of a yttrium barium copper oxicde (ycbo) superconductor. I have no information about the coil itself. A thermocouple attached to the superconductor also measured the temperature of it as it was cooled. This...

    Help with determining errors on Kater's Pendulum experiment?

    Hey thanks for your help so far, I got almost everything down on the list except the fluid mechanics. I was reading this which gave three effects (this is for the clock pendulum but it seems pretty generic and would be the same for this case)...

    Help with determining errors on Kater's Pendulum experiment?

    Ok thanks, although for the amplitude correction I do not have an angle as I did not measure it when I had the chance. That will still help me estimate it though! As for altitude, the measurement was taken at about 115m above sea level, how could I take this into account? Would this and the...

    Help with determining errors on Kater's Pendulum experiment?

    Homework Statement Hey guys, so I'm doing the an exercise on the Kater's pendulum, to calculate g. I've gotten down my g calculation to g = 9.80658m +/- 0.00054 using equation 1 below. The errors taken into account are just on the kater period T and the distance between the two pivot points (L)...

    Help with coupled spring and pendulum system

    Yeah I'm stuck here. I can't figure out how to eliminate T and I'm also unsure of how to make Fx2 correct. My problem is that I'm very limited with techniques here, as this is pretty much the beginning of an intro to classical mechanics. I'm pretty sure adding -kx1 to horizontal motion of the...

    Help with coupled spring and pendulum system

    Homework Statement Given the system in the image below, I need to find the equation of motions for the coupled system. The surface where the block moves is frictionless. The red line is position where the block is at equilibrium. At equilbrium x1 and x2 = 0. After finding the equation of motion...

    Gravity and Radius of the earth problem

    Homework Statement Hey guys, I have a problem where we measured the gravity on separate floors of a building using a gravometer. It gave us values in mgals. So each floor has a distance of 0.5m. How do we take this into account as we move up and down the floors? As we move up, there's and...
