    Multiple dielectric capacitors

    Oh i finally understand... u took the capacitor like a circuit which contatins other "capacitors". Marvellous... Okie thanks for the tip.

    Multiple dielectric capacitors

    If I was referring to the formula C=k*epsilon*A/d where k is the dielectric constant of the material, how does finding the potential change the above expression? I mean if a capacitor can contain like 3 dielectric materials of different k, how does it affect the above expression/formula? =)

    Electric Field and electron speed

    Is q=1.60 x 10^-19? Is there a diagram dictating whether the electron is moving in a downward motion?

    Multiple dielectric capacitors

    Hey Guys, I was just doing a question on capacitance and i was wondering since capacitance is usually determined by a fixed formula which is dependent on the di electric material that is contained within a capacitor.. However it struck me that a capacitor does not neccesarily contain...

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    Ehh yupz...i agree tat it is 0.11196 degrees, but in fact the ans shd be 0.0925 degrees, my mistake for that 6.43... i found out that the angle of deviation is given by a formula: \phi= \frac {\Omega ^2 R \sin \lambda \cos \lambda}{g - \Omega ^2 R \cos^2 \lambda} , where \lambda is the...

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    Ok based on ur equation, when i subs in all the values of the question: \tan \phi = 0.001959 \phi = 6.43 \deg ---> which is still considerably bigger Actual ans is 0.0925 deg.. Is there any link u can establish with ur equation and the 2 equations i gave you?

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    I am totally confused by you now that u have introduced the dot product and u oni started with an acceleration vector... Oh mAn... Sorry to bother u... can u Show me at least half of the full working towards getting the deviation...

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    Hmmm sorry but how do u do that... i jus found out that the 2 equations to resolve the three vectors into their vertical and horizontal components are: \T \cos \phi + m \Omega ^2 R \cos^2 \theta = mg ---> vertical forces \T \sin \phi = m \Omega ^2 R \cos \theta \sin \theta ---->...

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    I understand that u have resolved the components into the horizontal and vertical axis, but still how do u apply this equation to get the deviation with tension unknown... although it would be canceled eventually... Any more takers?

    How Does a Plumb Bob Deviate at 34.5° North Latitude Due to Earth's Rotation?

    Hi Guys, I tried drawing a free body diagram, But the term 34.5 north latitude is getting on my nerves... the closest feeling i got wat it meant was the angle made between the Weight of the bob(line of action drawn Diagonally) and the horizontal. Q. A plumb bob does not hang exactly...

    Kinetic Friction of a released block

    Yeah THANKS ThAnks Dude... i see v*dv/dx is actually dx/dt * dv/dx =a Hmmm Nice one.. yeah managed to find a reason to integrate the equation wif no worries... and for the 2nd question i reckon that i could find out the value of x and integrate Fk to get work done then equate it to 1/2mv^2...

    Kinetic Friction of a released block

    Kinetic Friction ! undefined Ok guYS, Really need help for this... i have been staring at this question blankly... The ONly solution i came up was to integrate the net acceleration with respect to x. But i what do u get when u integrate acceleration... the answers for part a is 4 m and...

    Solve Springy Question on Incline with Mass and Acceleration

    Finally Solved it... Woooh... thanks i finally solve it... an additional part of the question:: Consider that when the block comes to rest, the change in gravitational potential energy is converted to the elastic potential energy of the spring. However, there is still a net force exerted on...

    Solve Springy Question on Incline with Mass and Acceleration

    Springy question... undefined Hi Guys... came across this qns...may seem quite simple but it is actually quite tricky. A Block of mass m=1.00kg situated on an incline at an angle of 43.0 is connected to a spring of negligible mass having a spring constant of 100N/m. the pulley and the...
