n = 0 to 4 of 2n + 1
okay yeah perfect
now what about
(\frac{u^1}{1} + \frac{u^3}{3} + \frac{u^5}{5} + \frac{u^7}{7} + \dots)
kalman_filtERIC
how would you write that using the sum notation
n= 0 to infinity of u^2n+1/2n+1
good, perfect
now what about
(\frac{u^1}{1} - \frac{u^3}{3} + \frac{u^5}{5} - \frac{u^7}{7} + \dots)
kalman_filtERIC
so every other one has a minus sign
yessssss
so then we got
[\tan^{-1}(u) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{u^{2n+1}}{2n+1}]
kalman_filtERIC
are you alright with that?
yes!
kalman_filtERIC
we can just replace it with u right?
yup
so it'll be
[\tan^{-1}(x^2) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{(x^2)^{2n+1}}{2n+1}]
kalman_filtERIC
Or, you can simplify with exponent rules
[\tan^{-1}(x^2) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{x^{4n+2}}{2n+1}]
kalman_filtERIC
mhm
alright
so now the tricky part
well
idk if it's actually that tricky
we're gonna need to integrate this thing
[\int_0^{0.1}\tan^{-1}(x^2),\dd x = \int_0^{0.1}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{x^{4n+2}}{2n+1},\dd x]
so use u sub?
nah we won't even need u-sub
oh
oops forgot the dx at the end
kalman_filtERIC
yeah good! that's how you would do it without the sum-notation
how do you know how many terms are enough, though?
btw, I take no credit for it
to get six decimal places of accuracy
I was following along something
haha no worries, that's good practice
that's one way you could do it
you could just add up enough terms until there's no doubt about six decimal places
another way is with "lagrange error bounds", but idk if you've learned about those yet?
basically it tells us the maximum amount of error this approximation has
I'll post a picture of the lagrange error bound formula here for completeness, just in case it rings any bells
btw the way you would do it with this sum notation is that you would integrate every term in the sum, so the integral of x^(4n+2) becomes x^(4n+3)/(4n+3), and then you plug in x=0.1 and x=0 like you did
yes, exactly
it's a method for calculating the maximum error that you get from a taylor series
if you only add up the first few numbers of the series
hmm ok ok
if you haven't learned it in class though, just ignore it
I'll definitely keep it in mind
the result of this is
[\begin{split}\int_0^{0.1}\tan^{-1}(x^2),\dd x &= \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left.(-1)^n\frac{x^{4n+3}}{(2n+1)(4n+3)}\right|^{0.1}0\&= \sum{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n\frac{(0.1)^{4n+3}}{(2n+1)(4n+3)}\end{split}]
kalman_filtERIC
so that's another way to write the same thing that you ended up with on the last line here
except using the sum notation
and it gives a general formula for each term in the sum, so you can calculate as many terms as you want without having to redo the whole problem
yeah the tricky part was just trying to write the beginning equation in sum-notation
but if you practice a couple things, then you'll get the hang of it pretty fast
and then integrating it is super easy because every term in the sum is just x^(something), so you just use the power rule to get x^(something + 1)/(something + 1)
this is one of the reasons why taylor series are so useful!
they give super easy approximations to everything
oh nvm
this explains it LOL
mb mb
that makes a LOT of sense
it's all clicking
thank you so much!
I really really appreciate you taking time out of your day to patiently teach me this
you're welcome! :)

Can someone conclude with me the derivative of inverse tan function
implicit differentiation
Should i differentiate eith respect to y or x
Yeah- ik but whats next
im
Just a question bc idk the english terminology, whats short for 1/cos
implicit works but this can also be proven using the derivative of inverse functions
sec
Kk
So (sec(y))^2 *dy/dx=1
Dy/dx=1/(sec(y))^2
Isnt that (tan(y))^2
there is an identity involving tan^2 and sec^2
So… plugging y=tan-1(x)
not true, 1/sec^2 = 1/(1/cos^2(x))
Cosine?
yes
Sec is 1/tan right
u even said here
Why did u tell me its sec then?!
OH
Wait i meant 1/tan
that is cot
but i wouldnt focus on that
cuz there is an identity that uses tan^2 and sec^2
We were working on tan(y)=x from the start
correct
Yes adding them =1
almost
Substracting them-?
tan^2 + 1 = sec^2
Dy/dx * cot(y)^2=1
Oooh right
no
Huh
i told u before dy/dx is 1/sec^2 which is cos^2
becuase sec^2 is 1/cos^2
cos^2
Yes
but thats besides the point
because i didnt want u to do this
i want u to use the identity tan^2+1=sec^2
So- want me to switch 1/sec^2 into 1/tan^2 +1
right
.
...
Idk what u want me to do
right
So x^2=sec^2 -1
no, we have already solved dy/dx
remember that our derivative needs to be in terms of x
1/tan^2(y)+1 is our derivative
and we just worked out that tan^2(y) =x^2
therefore the derivative is 1/x^2+1
yes]

not sure where to start
11 marks ? 💀
theres multiple parts
ah
Because O(4,5) is the midpoint of AB(as the centre of the circle) a) is obvious
note that since A and B are on the circumference of the circle, therefore the center of the circle is the midpoint of AB
therefore we know the midpoints of their x coordinates must equal the x coord of the center and likewise for the y coordinates
better than giving him obscure hints
@split fulcrum Has your question been resolved?
not gonna argue with you, I personally tutor someone who takes this course, some people learn by demonstration, and question 29 is one of the very last questions on the paper which is going to be difficult for someone who takes the course so I think its best to provide a fair bit of help for someone trying to answer this.
aight fine by me, for someone who is clearly older than me, ur acting pretty immature
Lemme read up lol hold on
Sorry could you break this up a bit circles confuse me lol
Yeah
right, so a midpoint is exactly half way between any 2 points, so that means that the x coordinate of the midpoint is halfway between the x coordinates of A and B since A and B are points on the circumference of the circle, their midpoint must be the center of the circle
Right so I see that the midpoint of AB must be the centre of the circle but how do we find a and b using this?
<@&268886789983436800>
Consider that because the midpoint of AB is the centre of the circle, the horizontal distance(difference of x coordinates) from A to the centre and from B to the centre is equal

consider a covergent sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{R}}$ converging to some a
KKomrade
o7
reg
do you mean that a_n is in R and n is in N? otherwise you're indexing your sequence with R?
As written it doesn't make much sense
It seems to be indexed by R, but there is no smallest R, so no beginning of the sequence
Which makes it more like a function really
Maybe they intended something like
$(a_n \in \mathbb{R})_n$
OmnipotentEntity
But messed up the typesetting and didn't find it before publication?
now if we take some $\epsilon_1 > \epsilon_2 > 0$ then there are $R_1, R_2 \in \mathbb{R}$ respectively such that the distance between the an and a is less than the respective $\epsilon$ for n > the respective R
reg
function* ?
Exactly
A function can be thought of kinda sorta like a "sequence indexed by the reals"
my question is does this imply $R_2 \ge R_1$
\ge
reg
if so how
Assume that R_1 < R_2 and you get a contradiction pretty quickly
dym greater than
Oh actually you don't
Because you didn't specify tight bounds
Ok so
Here's an example
what is this
Let's say we have the function/sequence tanh(x)
This has a limit as x->inf of pi/2
We can choose two epsilon, for concreteness we can choose 0.1 and 0.01
ε1 = 0.1, ε2 = 0.01
Now the question is, can I choose R1 such that R1 > R2?
Yes.
I can choose R2 to satisfy the inequality
And then choose R1 larger
Because any R bigger than arctanh(pi/2 - 0.1) satisfies the first
R2 should be bigger if ε2 is smaller no?
So R2 can be any value provided it is large enough
Let R2* be the inf of this set
So R2 is in the set (R2*, inf)
Similarly, R1 is in the set (R1*, inf)
Notice that while R1* and R2* follow the rules you want
We don't have to be conservative in our choice of Rn
We can choose any R1 or R2 in this set, so we can choose any ordering to our R1 and R2
yess i mean the inf
why should they follow
it makes sense but trying how to prove it
inf standing for Infimum
for countable set i put n = R1+1 and done
yes
Sorry just noticed I used inf for infinity as well
no i mean infimum
So I felt I should disambiguate

Ok, then you should specify this, and then you can assume the opposite for the purpose of contradiction.
Then the proof is pretty straightforward.
If R1* is larger than R2* then this implies that |a - f(R1)| < ε1 is true for all values of R1 larger than R1*, but for any R smaller than R1* there exists some Q larger than R such that |a - f(Q)| >= ε1.
If we choose R to be between R1* and R2* then Q is also between them
Which means that Q is after R2* and provides a value larger than R2* such that |a - f(Q)| > ε1 > ε2
But by definition R2* is the smallest value of R2 such that |a - f(R)| > ε2 holds for all R > R2*
So we have a contradiction
by Q you mean between an R (smaller than R1 *) and R1 *?
Right so if R1* is the Infimum of all Rs to where this holds, then for every R ≤ R1* there is some R1* ≥ Q ≥ R such that Q differs by more than the epsilon.
wait even if R2* isn't an infimum it's fine right, we just want R1 * to be the infimum so that Q less than it would mean the distance can be greater
R2* doesn't need to be the Infimum, no.
We just need R1* to be the Infimum, and R1* > R2 for some R2 > R2*
Then we have the contradiction.
Because we can find a Q > R2 where the inequality, which should hold for all R > R2, doesn't hold
Yesssss

We need to show with induction, that this term is correct for the nth derivative of sqrt x
I have no clue in the Induction step (when k -> k+1) how to solve the part with the products of (2j-1)
what is f(x)?
sqrt(x)
I see
another term just gets added to the product
$f^{(k)}(x)=\frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2^k}\prod_{j=1}^{k-1}(2j-1)\cdot x^{-\frac{2k-1}{2}}$
kheerii
assume this as our induction hypothesis
assue this is true for some k, then we wish to prove it for k+1
yes
differentiate both sides of this
f^{(k+1)}(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2^{k}}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}(2j - 1) \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2k-1}}} \right)
\end{align*}
$f^{(k+1)}(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2^{k}}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}(2j - 1) \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2k-1}}} \right)$
Ant1m0n
yeah
so we get to this point
$f^{(k+1)}(x)=\frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{2^k}\cdot\left(-\frac1{2}\right)\prod_{j=1}^{k-1}(2j-1)\cdot(2k-1)\cdot x^{-\frac{2k-3}{2}}$
kheerii
do you see how I got that?
give me a second
I just rearranged a few things
ah ok you didnt derive you just switched some parts
ok ah i see and then we get to the same part as if we just added k+1 "manually"
so the solution is to derive the first function of which we assumed that it is correct
what?
if im not mistaken this equals
this
yeah it does
I just did the differentiation
and this matches your induction hypothesis (why?)
because i just showed that for k+1 (the next derivative) i can either manually add one onto k or just derive the first function
i hope you understand what im trying to say
yeah, your english is not the best but I did understand what you said
its hard to explain in english for me im sorry
but thank you very much
but i have one last question, why didnt anything "happen" to the products of (2j-1) ?

This is basically giving you T and asking four fourier transform of T'
i am not sure how to find T'
delta4(t+1) can be written as delta(t+1-4) = delta(t-3)
but that t^2 confuses me
You shouldn't find T'. You don't need it. Instead, take advantage of a Fourier transform property

I'm using DeMoivre's theorum to find an indicated power, and the answer must be in rectangular form. I understand how to solve the majority of the problem. I'm just not understanding how they got 0, and 1 here.
cos(-33/2) in degree mode gives me 0.95881
in radians -0.702
so it's clear to me that they're not inputting these into a calculator. I'm just missing how they're getting 0 and 1
-33PI/2
in rads
still the calculator is not helpful it is giving 1.7e-12
thats the calculator giving up calculating how small it is because its actually 0
so probably use a better calc
ti-84 plus ce not good enough for a trig class?
well it seems not unless you can tell when the answer should be zero but your calc cant handle it
,w cos(-33pi/2)
I think next time I see 1.7e-12 stuff I'll think 0 now. it's worked for everything else this class
but you could have also calculated this by hand by adding multiple of two pi onto -33pi/2 until you get to a value you know the cos of
if you see pi in an angle argument it 99% of the t ime implies theyre using rad

I need help with number seven, nine, 10, 11, and 12
- let the initial amount of candy be x
She took 10
Remaining:x-10
Remaining/4 =2
(X-10)/4=2
Find x
Oh hi
Yo, so one thing about me is that I’m a visual learner and I won’t understand it if you just explain it
We could also solve the problem in a slightly more creative way by doing the steps in reverse
I’m just trying to get it done
Yo David, how would you write all of that in a single problem?
So I guess all of the problems have to look similar to number eight
That’s how my teacher wants me to do it
Two step equations
Attempt from where I stopped
It’s just hard to do it like that because I need to be shown things, I can’t just be told how
I’m a visual learner
Even though you written it down, I still can’t understand it
😣
Like I could have all of the steps and I don’t know how to implement them onto paper is what I’m trying to say
Nothing I can control, It’s just how my brain is.
What really happened:
- There's some amount of candy that we don't know
- We take out 10 pieces
- Divide the amount of candy in 4 (and give that amount to each child)
- We find that each child got 2 pieces of candy
Doing the steps in reverse
- One child has two pieces of candy
- Multiply this by 4 to get the total amount of candy that got handed out, i.e. 8
- Add 10 pieces of candy to get 18
- There's 18 pieces of candy on the table
I think you’re supposed to do that in two steps
Wait I’ll just read it
Wait, is that two steps?
I wish I could turn the whole thing into an animatic
The first 4
Is there anyway you could try to do it on paper and take a picture?
So I’ll have an idea
I know it sounds like I’m just getting the answer, but I’m sure the other ones are similar to that and I can implement that into the other problems
I hope there is similar. I don’t really know much about the problems. I’ve been sitting here for hours.
I’m just hard to work with
That I do apologize for
I would first try to understand it by physically seeing the situation unfold and only then would I translate it to math language. But since I can't come over to your house and act it out I'll try to jump straight to scary math language
There's some amount of candy that we don't know, let's call it x
Then we take out 10 pieces, so we have x - 10 pieces of candy left
Then we divide that amount of candy among 4 children, so we have (x - 10) / 4 pieces of candy for each child
We know that the amount of candy that each child got was 2, so therefore (x - 10) / 4 = 2
The equation is formed step-by-step by following very carefully what Aliyah did
Sorry, I’m still not understanding
Let's say there's 18 pieces of candy on the table
there could be more, there could be less, we don't know
but let's just say there's 18 and see what would happen
you can write it on an unimportant scratch paper
because writing stuff down is good
I’m just gonna write it down on the paper because I have to show my work
That’s the problem. I know the answer. I just don’t know how to get there
but writing stuff down without knowing what's about to happen means you might have to erase stuff later
18-10?
yes very good
So I have 18-10 on my paper so far
so now, instead of writing down the result, treat 18-10 as a number on its own
Ok
pretend you don't know how to subtract 18-10
if we added five candy to the pile, we could still write 18-10+5
to write down how much candy we have
even if we don't know how to carry out the computation
Are you supposed to do an equals something after this because this looks familiar?
well, instead of adding 5 candy to the pile, if we recall the instructions, we actually divide the amount of candy in 4
let's not have an equals sign yet
we're just forming some kind of expression
So what happened was
- There's some amount of candy that we don't know
- We take out 10 pieces
3) Divide the amount of candy in 4 (and give that amount to each child) - We find that each child got 2 pieces of candy
The adding five candy was just an example, that never actually happened in the story
Wait, divide?
OK now I’m confused because I don’t know how to divide from 18-10+5
Am I supposed to erase that?
well let's think about that
in mathematics, if you have lots of numbers and symbols and stuff, but you see it as one big thing, you can put parenthesis around it and do something to it
So if you have 18-10+5 candy on the table and you want to divide that by 4, then you could write (18-10+5)/4
And the idea is that (18-10+5) is seen as one big collection of candy that you divide by 4
Like this?
yess exactly
very good
Could you describe verbally what that expression means in terms of candy?
I can’t
that's okay
we interpret 18 as being 18 candy on the table
can you try to guess what 18-10 might mean?
like how you could interpret that
Your right
I made a mistake. I was just thinking incorrectly.
Thinking fast
Yo, wait a minute
well you said 18-10 is 8 and that's good because that's true
That was AutoCorrect
My keyboard acted up
I meant to say fast, but I was trying to type then it wasn’t working then that came up
that's okay
I did not mean to call you fat ass
Yes, I was thinking 18-10
yess
Because I had a memory of that and I thought that’s what I saw
You know how to compute 18-10 but do you know the interpretation of what that subtraction really means?
I do not
it's very important to be able to connect math to things and actions in the real world
because humans are not naturally good at math but we are naturally good at sensing the real world
and also lots of math problems in school involve a verbal real world description that you have to write in the language of math
Wait, I think I did this before
These problems I just don’t know how to remember it, but I have the worksheet on how I did it in the classroom
you can interpret 18-10 as an action where you start with 18 candy and you take away 10 candy and the result, the number 18-10, is how many you're left with
8
yes, the result is of course 8
but the result in this case is less important than the visual in your head
Eight is the answer for number seven?
well it's certainly true that 18-10=8
but is it true that Aliyah started with 8 candy
that's the problem we're trying to solve
I think you're doing a great job
you're just very eager to solve the problem
while I'm trying to teach you mathematical thinking
I’ve just been sitting here for hours and this is just consuming my day, I’m not trying to ramble on. I’m just saying. Sorry that sounds like I’m just complaining.
I just didn’t do so good this year and this is summer school
Had a tutor, but didn’t end out so well
She was just busy a lot of days
Sorry for just rambling on
Well I understand your frustration but paradoxically if you try less to solve the problem and try more to just have fun with the math then you might end up learning useful skills that will actually help you solve more problems faster in the long run
And the tutor wasn’t that great because I still didn’t understand a lot of stuff
I was kind of having fun with the math then I just got stuck for hours and hours
It’s just so hard trying to learn it through text
I hate how my brain is like that
Do you have access to paper where you could scribble down some notes that you don't have to erase later?
Yeah
I think that would be helpful
It’s just I wish I could go back in the classroom because I have all of this on a different piece of paper because we did all of these problems
Many days ago
I don’t know why we’re doing it again
Do you think you would understand the solution if you saw it?
What do you mean?
like, they're not giving you these problems because they want you to produce the right symbols that a teacher wants to see, they're giving you these problems because
-
these are problems that can be solved
-
these are descriptions of actions that someone in the real world might do that you can describe using numbers and symbols
-
they want you to both improve as a problem solver and especially they want you to learn to describe things that someone in the real world might do using the language of numbers and symbols
So if you think the adults are stupid and this is all useless and you just want to enjoy your summer then my honest response is that the skill of writing stuff down in the language of numbers and symbols turns out to be incredibly useful in life and there is a reason for why they're teaching you these things, so I would re-evaluate your position
And if you've never really thought about why you're doing these things, then maybe now you have
And my question to you is what do you think would help you understand how numbers and symbols describe the real world
Because if you think seeing the full solutions actually helps you then it would take me about 30 seconds to give you the solutions to all these problems
I can give you the full solutions if you'd like
it might be against the server rules or guidelines but I can do it, I don't care
whatever you think is helpful
all I'm saying is that math is not about symbols, it's about connecting symbols to physical actions that your brain understands
Wait, are you saying giving me the answers? I mean, I would find the answers and figured out tomorrow anyways.
Wait, not just the answers I mean how to get them
Is that what you’re trying to say?
I mean ultimately I just want to help you
I’m sure he’ll explain it tomorrow and then it’ll finally click
I appreciate that
for what it's worth, I think so too
I appreciate you being dedicated to helping someone like me
you're very lucky to have a tutor
well you're in summerschool or something
Just too many problems, my dad having too many problems with the tutor
It’s a long story
My dad didn’t like the place
But that tutor just always made me feel stressed, I’m not talking you down on her. I’m just saying from my experience.
Just had an attitude
I think you have lots of potential but you could use some more self-confidence. And you should start loving dead-ends and doing useless things and using lots of scratchpaper and getting stuck, because that's what math is all about
For one I’m just trying to write down the problem and I know she can clearly see what I’m writing but she says no erase it has to be “neat”
She knows what I’m trying to write down. It just makes it harder for me.
Exactly
for the vast majority of the time it should be messy and indecipherable to everyone but you, until it clicks in your brain, and then you give out the "clean" argument
She’s talking about you have to write an = with the spacing in the exact way she wants me to
Math is not neat, my teacher told me the people that are good at math have bad handwriting
I have bad handwriting. I just don’t know everything about math.
I’m good at math and I’m dedicated to it when I actually know what I’m doing
I was doing completely fine before these
And a way she taught me was I need to solve it on my own and have her solve it and compare answers but in reality I never know what I’m doing and I always get it wrong and then she just tells me the answer
That never helps
She always ends up, just telling me answers
That’s not what a tutor is supposed to do
Anyways, I gotta stop babbling
It's very interesting to hear about your experience
and I'm sorry that the tutoring didn't work out too well
It’s alright
I’ve been doing fine with everything until now
I haven’t been needing her help
But now I’m just stuck and I’ve been stuck for three hours
I just wish you were here in real life so you could just show me one step at a time and have me write it down because that’s how I learn
It’s like a foreign language when it’s just through text
still waiting for the scientists to invent teleportation
I can’t visualize what I need to do through my head
Same
I can tell you would make a great teacher, but the only reason why we’re not getting anywhere is because of my learning style
You’re great at teaching. I’m just not great at understanding through text
That’s why it’s taking a while
You're a great student because I can see that you want to learn
I do, I still just want to get this done because that’s what a teenagers mindset is but I still want to know how to do it
Would you want to try a simpler problem that I'll try to make a little more visual?
I want to know how to do it because I can’t just put the answer and call a day. He knows that I could just search it up so the grade is work, not the solution
I’ll see if that’ll help
Okay. I have a mystery box here with some of amount of dots
???
???
???
Now I'll add in 3 dots. Here's what my box looks like right now:
. . .
. . . .
. . . .
No, that’s part of it
<@&268886789983436800>
Banned them
thanks
Three-year-olds can’t even do that like, what is this guy talking about?
💀
just a troll
They're just trolling, ignore them; they're gone now
Now my question is. How many dots did I have in my mystery box originally?
(EDIT: yeah we can move into DMs if you'd prefer.)

I'm having trouble understanding why the gradient points in the direction of the greatest increase in height for a point, given that the gradient is Fx + Fy
So if I have a point
let me try drawing it first and making sense of it
Given this contour map and the purple point
ive drawn the direction of the partial derivative in the x and y direction
and then the gradient would be in the direction of them added right
so the gradient tells us the direction of greatest increase in height
idk if im confusing something but wouldn't Fy have the greatest increase in height for that point?
my understanding must be wrong somewhere and im not sure where

The f•g is uniformly continuous
Don't know
The composition is f•g(x) = x
because im pretty sure the statement is false
try and prove it
Okay so I need to prove the statement
if youre unsure
wait, which statement? It's false though
However what is true, is that the composition is always uniformly continuous; that's not the statment in your question
The negation
There is a powercut. I will come back later

why 4(3-5x^3)^3 exists if there's no dy/du ?
idk how to name it, the and said there's 4(3-5x^3)^3
Ah
Ok, so one way you can define the product rule is by setting one of the two functions f and g and name them as variables u and v
So dy/dx = u dy/dv + v dy/du if x = uv
why it's 0 + (-1)..... and not 0 * (-1)......
That's part of d/dx(2 + 3x^(-1))
This is equal to d/dx(2) + d/dx(3x^(-1))
And d/dx(2) is 0
like 3(2-4) = 3(2) + 3(-4)
Sorta yeah, but it only works with so-called "linear operators".
The derivative is a linear operator.

hey understand this is physics but i figured its math too. if you guys think its inappropriate ill remove it
need help with all the questions
Did you split the force vector into it's components?
i dont really know what that means sry, can u explain?
ok so Fv is gravity right and Fh is the pushing?
Say F is the resultant of vectors Fv and Fh
ya using Pythagoras right?
I think you mean F sin(theta)
Never heard of the word sinus
Correct
ya exactly
And Fh ?
Fh is F cos of theta
but we dont know F ?
Let's just keep it as F
We will find it soon
Do you know what a Free body diagram is?
ice read it but dont really understand
It's a figure representing all the forces acting on a body
Something like this?
Here you have the applied forces F,and the weight of the body
how we know that?
Is it Fsin ^2 + F Cos ^2?
We just discussed it above?
ya my bad Fv and Fh
Yes
So the line parralel to g is Fh?
Are you sure,think again.
Fh is directed along x axis while g is directed along -y
Nvm
Which line are you talking about?
You do get this right?
yes sort of
so i draw like picture?
That would do too
(Ft for total )
Where is the force due to gravity here?
Isnt that Fv?
Say you have a box
You are pushing it from above with force Fv then
Would Fv be equal to the force due to gravity?
Correct
Now
The question says "pushed across with constant speed "
What does this statement tell you about it's acceleration and force
we can use equations of motion right? Bwcause acceleration is uniform
Horizontal force*
Read the statement again
It is not the acceleration which is uniform
Velocity
Not uniform or velocity / timee
Oh yes delta v/ delta t
Since velocity is constant difference would be 0 thud giving you the acceleration of the body as 0
Agreed?
Yes
Okay,before we proceed any further
I forgot something
You should represent the direction of normal force too
can we do that? i mean isnt normal force on same place as Fv?
Wdym "same place"?
its the same quantity as mg but opposite and goes straight up
No
This would be the case when no other vertical force is acting on the body
But that's not what is happening here
does it go sideways to the top right?
We have a vertical force Fv
Normal force is always perpendicular to the point of contact Between the 2 objects
In this case the ground and the box
Well,?
if it is perpendicular wouldnt that go the the side?
The point/ line of contact BTW the box and the ground
Under Fv?
It's this
oh
So what the perpendicular dicular direction of this line?
to the x axis
Brb
or to the right
ok
No
true
Now redraw this
And forget about F since you have mentioned it's components
...
.
Damm im very bad at this
no i think its the way ur supposed to, but tell me next step
Yes
Why did you change the directions of Fv and Fh ?
They are correct over here
oh i didnt realise i changed them
You are presuming that only one force can exist along a particular direction
If I am right about this
Then your presumption is wrong
Well have you changed your FBD ?
was the figure right? But the Fv and Fh wrong spots?
Wrong directions, yes
in that case i changed it by switching Fv and fh
Pic
This is the correct FBD
This is wrong
yeah thats true
@valid jetty will continue from here
frictionless surface?
I gtg,sorry
No
np thanks for the help man
but coeffecient of friction?
Didn't say it in the question but check (iv)
ahh ic i got it
this is question
^
i think u cut out friction part
no thats all
Alright I will l3ave,
Sorry again
Yes
i forgot the terms
ohh
It can be deduced though
Kinetic...
this thing and i can take care of rest
Alright then bye
but they asked to find it
so we assume body is at rest?
Bruh
ok nvm
The question says constant vrlocity
constant velocity
i think its moving
