How Do You Solve for g in the Equation a = 1/(1+C) g sin θ?

AI Thread Summary
The equation a = 1/(1+C) g sin θ is discussed with a focus on rearranging it to solve for g. The initial attempt suggests g = (a + c)/sin θ, but there is confusion regarding the relationship between g and sin θ. Clarification reveals that the equation should be interpreted as a = (1/(1+C)) * g sin θ. The correct rearrangement leads to g = (a + aC)/sin θ. This highlights the importance of understanding the multiplication of g and sin θ in the equation.

1. The problem statement.


a = 1/(1+C) g sine pheta


Rearrange equation to solve for g.


My attempt of the solution is:


g = (a+c)/sine pheta

What confuses me is whether or not g sine pheta are all clumped together or if it's just g x sine pheta. Thanks!

Well gsinθ = g*sinθ

although I can't tell if your question is


a = \frac{1}{(1+C)g sin \theta} \ or \ a=\frac{1}{1+C}* gsin \theta
 
Ah, ok, thanks. It's the second one.

if so, then:


einsteinette said:

that's not correct,

<br /> \ a=\frac{1}{1+C}* gsin \theta

\ a{(1+C)}=gsin \theta
\ {(a+aC)}= gsin \theta
then
\ g=\frac{a+aC}{sin \theta}<br />
 
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...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
