    Expression for period of pendulum

    In the expression for the period of a simple pendulum, we do not take into account the mass that is hanging from the string. How is it possible that the mass does not affect the period of the pendulum? It was stated that the displacement that started the pendulum was small. What would happen if we started the pendulum with an ex

    Differential equations - 2 Water tanks

    Two identical water tanks labeled A and B are resting at the same elevation and are linked via a pipe with a valve. The cross sectional area of each of the tanks is 1m^2. The valve demonstrates linear behavior (volumetric flow is linear with pressure drop) and will allow a flow of 0.5 m^3/min under a pressure drop equivalent to

    Squaring Products and Factors

    1 When we square a product, we square each factor in the product. For example (4b)2= 16b2. Explain why we cannot square a sum by simply squaring each term of the sum. For example, (a + b)2 is not equal to a2 + b2. Provide appropriate examples. 2 Take a number. Add 1. Square the result. Then subtract from that result
