The first thing to do as with any mechanics question is draw a force diagram with the weight (mg), the friction (F) and the normal reaction (R). As we are finding the smallest coefficient of friction poss...

First we need to change the limits, and by plugging in 1 and 0 to our substitution we find that the limits for u are arctan(1) and arctan(0) (or pi/4 and 0). Then we need to substitute for dx, and by diff...

Sodium and Magnesium are both metals, when they are solid they form a metallic lattice held together by the electrostatic force of attractive between the positive metal ions, and the negative delocalised ...

In order to solve this equation we need to find a common denominator for the 2 fractions. It is impossible to name the common denominator while working with unknown variables such as x,y etc. but we know ...

To answer this question we must first define what is meant by 'better'.  Better I take to mean that system which solves a moral problem with ease, lack of confusion and accuracy.  That said, it solves the...
