hi all, i remember in some physics practical past papers we have to take log of some quantities involving some constants...can you guys tell me how to take log or give an example which involves taking log. thankyou.

When doing Physics practicals involving spring extensions in series do you take the extension of one spring or all of them??

but don't you think the horizontal components are in opposite direction so they will cancel out each other? and the upward 10 N force will cancel with the downward 10N forcE?

wait what if we make the center line the horizontal line. and if we resolve the two angled 10 N forces we will get 17.3 in the same line as the 10 newtons but they are in opposite directions. so we will have to subtract them and we get 7.3 :/

do u remember that these are coplaner forces. they originate from the same point. does that have to do with the calculation here?

and the vertical component will be 10 cos 30 not 10 sin 30 i quoted wrongly above. so if we just consider vertical components then it comes 7.3 N, but what to do with the horizontal components i.e 10 sin30 into 2 which comes 10 N

we will not consider the horizontal components of the two angled 10 N forces since they will cancel out when they are resolved because they are of equal magnitude and opposite in direction. whereas, their vertical components are not in the opposite direction, so they add up. and they are opposite to the 10 N downwards so thats why you subtract.

ohhh yeah you are right. how to do 21st mcq?
i have tried the ratio way but it comes 907 something.
