A mass of 3kg rests on a rough plane inclined at 60 degrees to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction is 1/5. Find the force P acting parallel to the plane applied to the mass, in order to just prevent motion down the plane.

Firstly draw a diagram of the problem.Then resolve the forces into their components parallel and perpendicular to the plane.Resolving parallel: P + Fmax = 3gsin(60) equation 1.Resolving perpendicular: R =...

Differentiate x^3⋅cos(5⋅x) with respect to x.

In order to solve this problem we will have to use the product rule as follows: d/dx[x^3⋅cos(5⋅x)]=[d/dx(x^3)]⋅cos(5x)+(x^3)⋅[d/dx[cos(5x)]]=(3⋅x^2)⋅cos(5⋅x)+(x^3)⋅−5⋅sin(5⋅x)=3⋅x^2⋅cos(5⋅x)−5⋅x...

Describe how a wave of excitation, which originates in the sinoatrial node (SAN) of the heart, eventually results in ventricular systole.

• SAN send a wave of depolarisation/excitation across the atria causing them to contract• wave cannot pass directly to the ventricle, due to the non-conductive tissue of AV-valves• wave reaches the AVN (i...
