Idk if this is allowed here..Its straight forward "determine the resultant force acting on the hook in cartesian notation", I dont know if its my angles or if I am skipping a step but 490, 117, -266 sure aint it (per person's mastering) can anyone see and point out where I went wrong? Maybe I'm not doing my computing right or ive set up wrong. Ive been on this problem for 1.5 hours.. i dont know why. This is an online class so all I have is a textbook and dr Hanson videos, which are helpful so im confused on why im struggling so much? All im looking for is a point in the right direction. For now ill move onto the next problem but it is just the same so may post it as well 😅

I can not for the life of me figure this one out. the equation in the book I've been using is y_cp = -(I_xx*sin(theta))/(h_cg*A) when I use the equation I get I_xx = .1152, sin 30, h_cg = 4.8, A = .96. I get .0125m, I have tried that .013, -.013, .5, -.5, 4.813 so far as answers. the hint given for the question is What is the distance y_cp on the line of action below the centroid?

this saturday, i have a bigger project worth 100 points. i understand what my teacher is asking for us to do, but i am struggling to summarize my sources concisely while including the main ideas, arguments, and evidence, with using mainly approved news sources. these sources have to be within a year old, the more recent the better. articles from researchers, educators, and journalists are wanted mostly. i particularly struggle with understanding what the main point of an article is and what information is deemed as important.

issue/topic: how does academic pressure impact students mental health
i’ve included what our professor is asking, the rubric, and approved news sources

how can i work on my summarizing skills with this project? any tips, suggestions, or strategies that help?

i am autistic and tend to struggle more with these skills, i may ask for clarification or questions following up.

High School Math—Pending OP Reply [Grade 11 Circles] how do I prove this??

Upvotes

If two circles are orthogonal, then prove that the polar of point P on the first circle with respect to the second circle passes through the point Q, which is the other end of diameter through P. Also prove that locus of a point, which moves such that its polars with respect to S1=0, S2=0, and S3=0 are concurrent, is a circle which is orthogonal to all the three circles.

I am not able to understand what exactly I even have to prove. Even the equations of the circles are not given. From what I understood, I think for the first part both circles are intersecting, P and Q lie on the first circle and are end points of the diameter of that circle.

Literature [College/Social Science] How to read and digest contexts properly?

Upvotes

Hey! It's my first year in college, and I'm in a program (Political Science) that has courses that contain reading academic texts, and as a student whose attention span has regressed, it's been a struggle to keep myself focused. I couldn't find the structure or the ideas of the texts that I'm reading, leading to why I couldn't digest them properly. I've tried writing notes while reading at the same time, yet I tend to overanalyze every single paragraph when the given pages for our readings are 30-100, which loses so much time on my part.

I want to learn your tips or tricks that helped you maintain your focus and be able to dissect the main ideas and have them interpreted in your own words really quickly.

Geography [Grade 9 Geography] Map Of Canada

Upvotes

This isn’t really connected to work whatsoever but I thought I would try and see if anyone has any way to help me.
So for geography, our teacher explicitly gave us the rule: "Don't color Alaska blue, blue is ONLY for water!"
Because Alaska wasn't even pre-drawn on the map printout, my brain completely glossed over the warning. I ended up coloring the entire water area blue before realizing I was supposed to draw Alaska in first. So now Alaska is literally underwater. 💀
I’m currently stuck on a road trip and won't be home for a few days to fix it. Luckily I didn't press down super hard with my Crayola colored pencils, but I’m still stressing.
Has anyone else ever drowned a state like this? Also, is there any trick to completely removing pencil crayon pigment from paper without tearing the page to shreds?

Answered [high school physics] I’m learning physics on my own and I can’t understand how to solve this problem

Post image
Upvotes

I’m learning physics on my own and I’m currently working through a physics problem book. I came across this problem and I can’t understand the reasoning behind the solution.

The problem:

During a survival training exercise, a 60 kg boy at some point hangs motionless from a rope as shown in the picture below. Assume that β = 2α and g = 10 m/s². Calculate the tension in the rope at points A and B.

The rope is attached at points A and B and forms the two sloping sides of a right triangle. The boy is hanging from the rope at the vertex between these two sides, which is the 90° angle. The angle at point A is α, and the angle at point B is β.

I found a solution which calculates the boy’s weight first and then seems to use the components of that force to determine the rope tensions. However, I don’t understand why sine is used here.

When I try to draw auxiliary right triangles, I don’t know where the given angle should be located in the triangle or which side of the triangle should correspond to the rope tension. I understand how to calculate sine in a right triangle, but I don’t understand how to correctly construct the triangle from this diagram and connect it to the forces.

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain why sine is used in this particular problem and how the force triangle should be constructed, preferably step by step.

I’d also be interested in seeing other possible ways of solving the problem, if there are any.

I’m not just looking for the final answer I’m trying to understand the method so I can solve similar problems myself.

Further Mathematics—Pending OP Reply [College Statistics: Probability ] How should I calculate total probability given conditional probabilities

Upvotes

I'm stuck on part B of this problem and would love any insights that could help point me in the right direction. I know that I should be using the law of total probability, which from my understanding (I double checked with my textbook) allows me to just add all of the intersections of the conditional probabilities however when you add them (.5+.4+.6) you get a number greater than one which can't be the answer as probabilities are between 0 and 1. It feels to me like I'm missing something obvious but I can't put my finger on it. Any help is much appreciated!

I was taught was that driving frequency = natural frequency for resonance.
There is no other context to this question - i dont know what type of system it is.
But I am doing Grade 11 Physics, so its probably referring to basic systems such as string, pipe or tuning fork?

Could someone please give an explanation that rules out the rest of the answers?

Hi! I've been stuck on this problem for a while now, so I decided to text it out on another app and finally ask for help. I managed to find the magnitude on my own, but I honestly can't figure out how to find the direction, or what I'm doing wrong. I've watched several videos on it and have tried to go step by step, but any answer I try is marked wrong, (I do use an online school program.) I also didn't wanna cheat, (at least without knowing exactly how to do it and being able to replicate it) so as I've already said above, I didn't know what to do other than ask for help somewhere else. A step-by-step breakdown of what your meant to do would be great!

Also I know the post title says grade 12, while from my knowledge trig is done in 11th usually. It just kind of happened that way, so I'm not sure why I'm doing it a year late. Better late than never, though!

Prompt: "Use propositional logic to prove the arguments valid; you may use any of the equivalence or inference rules."

I have this sequence but I'm not confident in #4-7

  1. A v B (hyp)
  2. A → C (hyp)
  3. B → C (hyp)
  4. (A v B)’’ (1, Double negation)
  5. (A’ ^ B’)’ (4, de morgan)
  6. (A’)’ (5, simplification)
  7. C (2, 6 modus ponens)

---
*UPDATE*

I currently have this sequence. I was struggling, then I realised the implication rule has an error (It says 'P -> Q is equivalent to P' v Q) so I wanted to get others input on if my work is correct.

  1. A v B [hyp]
  2. A → C [hyp]
  3. B → C [hyp]
  4. A’ v C [2, implication]
  5. B’ v C [3, implication]
  6. (A’ v C) ^ (B’ v C) [4, 5 conjunction]
  7. (C v A’) ^ (C v B’) [6, commutative]
  8. C v (A’ ^ B’) [7, distributive]
  9. (A’ ^ B’) v C [8, commutative]
  10. (A v B)’’ [1, double negation]
  11. (A’ ^ B’)’ [10, de morgan]
  12. C [9, 11 disjunctive syllogism]

My additional explanation for getting #12. disjunctive syllogism

P v Q, P’ < = > Q

(A’ ^ B’) v C, (A’ ^ B’)’ < = > C
