AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around verifying the calculations related to the height of an image in a film. The original poster doubts their answer, specifically questioning the conversion of a 29 m distance into centimeters and subsequently into millimeters. Participants emphasize the importance of accurate conversions and suggest re-evaluating the calculation of the image distance (d_i). It's noted that a crucial step may have been overlooked in the calculations. Accurate conversions and careful checking of all steps are essential for obtaining the correct height of the image.

Homework Statement
You have a movie camera with a single lens of focal length 98 mm. You would like to take a picture of a friend who is standing 29 m away. Your friend is 155 cm tall, what is the height of the image of your friend on the film in mm?

Hi, I just want to check if my working is correct cuz I seems to get the wrong answer in my first attempt by inserting 0.054mm as the heigh.... the height seems a bit small to me.

Check again your conversion of the 29 m distance into cm.
And make sure you get the distance image in the last step.

All conversions were to mm.

Check your calculation of ##d_i##. There is something you forgot to do.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
