This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Problem 1 (solved by Vaibhav Priyadarshi)

Find the value of $\log_2 10 - \log_8 125$

Ram Mohith - 3 years ago

$log_{2}10-log_{8}125$

= $log_{2}10-log_{2^3}125$

= $log_{2}10-(log_{2}125)/3$

= $(3log_{2}10-log_{2}125)/3$

= $(log_{2}10^3-log_{2}125)/3$

= $(log_{2}(1000/125))/3$

= $(log_{2}8)/3$

=3/3 =1.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 3 years ago

Now can I post a new question?

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 3 years ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – Yes you can post a new question

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

Please use \log in your solution.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

Another solution for Problem 1 :

$\log_8 125 = \log_{2^3} 125 = \dfrac{1}{3}\log_2 125 = \log_2 \sqrt[3]{125} = \log_2 5$

$\log_2 10 - \log_8 125 = \log_2 10 - \log_2 5$

$\implies \log_2 \dfrac{10}{5} = \log_2 2 = 1$

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

$\textbf{Problem 2 :}$

Find the value of $(5+2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}+(5-2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}$

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

$\frac{1}{4}(1+3\sqrt{13}+i(\sqrt{39}-\sqrt{3}))$ ?

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

Sir, if this is correct you can post a new question but whether it is correct or not Vibhav should tell it.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – I don't think the answer is "1"

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Just manipulate the expression using algebra and you will see that...wow... it turns out to be 1!

Some things look complicated but just do the math and you will get the answer.

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – I will give you a hint , note that $a^3+b^3=10$ . Rest is upto you

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vilakshan Gupta – Vilakshan Gupta why can't you post your solution if you have solved

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vilakshan Gupta – $(a^3+b^3)=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)=10$ , but I don't see where the "1" comes up. Both factors are complex conjugates.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Actually what I meant was Vaibhav's solution only, because if you cube the expression, the radicals get cancelled off.

If you let the expression to be equal to $x$ and then cube it, then you will get the equation $10-9x=x^3$ and from here, by observation , we can conclude that the answer has to be $1$ .

The other two roots have to be complex conjugates, but the answer in real numbers is $1$ .

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vilakshan Gupta – Ok. Now I understood. So you have solved it Vilakshan Gupta

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

Can you give explanation for it? Why isn't this a real number? Principal Cube root of real number should be real.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – First tell is it correct or not

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – A lot of algebra went into this, but i can't get rid of the complex part.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Let me try another way to do this

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – I think not.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

The answer is 1.

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

Yes it is correct!

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

How is it "1"? This expression is a root of a 4th degree polynomial with no real roots.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Let $(5+2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}$ + $(5-2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}$ = $x$

Cubing both sides, we get

$10+3(5^2-(2√13)^2)^{1/3}x$ = $x^3$

$10-9x=x^3$

It have 1 as a solution.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – Why have you posted the solution when you have posted the question

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Sir have asked me how it is 1, so I have given the reason.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – But the problem now is who solved this question and who will post the next one.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Vilakshan Gupta

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – Also I didn't understand how you got 9x

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – By using $a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)$

Here a+b=x.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – What about ab. When they both are multiplied they give a complex number

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – $(5^2-(2\sqrt{13})^2))^{\frac{1}{3}}$ is complex. You slipped up on sign. Or at least about fractional powers of $-1$ .

Let me try to see if I can save this....

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Is $(-27)^{1/3}$ not real?

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – Unfortunately, no. This is where it gets complicated.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Please explain me why.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – I agree that the principal root of $(-27)^{\frac13}$ is an imaginary number , but we are concerned about the real valued root , and that is , $-3$ .

Check this

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

Vaibhav shall I update the note as Vilakshan Gupta solved your question. What do you think?

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

Consider an arbitrary polynomial $X^{3}+aX+b\in\mathbb{R}[X]$ . Then, provided $\Delta:=(a/3)^{3} + (b/2)^{2} > 0$ , letting

$C:=-b/2+\sqrt{\Delta},\quad D:=-b/2-\sqrt{\Delta}$

one has (taking real cubed roots) that $C^{1/3}+D^{1/3}$ is the unique real root of $X^{3}+aX+b$ .

Now choosing $b:=-10$ and $a:=9$ , one has $5+2\sqrt{13}=5+\sqrt{52}=C$ and $5-2\sqrt{13}=5-\sqrt{52}=D$ (one may obtain the values of $a,b$ by simply solving $-b/2=5$ and $\Delta=52$ . Thus the expression in the problem, $\breve{x}:=(5+2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}+(5-2\sqrt{13})^{1/3}$ , is equal to the unique real root of

$X^{3}+9X-10$

Now, note that $1$ is a root of this polynomial. Thus it is the unique real root. Hence $\boxed{\breve{x}=1}$ .

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

Good. Now you too solved this question but you cannot post the new question because Vilakshan Gupta already solved it. But this solution comes into your account.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – If we rewrote the expression to $(5+2\sqrt{13})^{\frac{1}{3}}-(-5+2\sqrt{13})^{\frac{1}{3}}$ , then, yes, the value becomes $1$ . But what is done is to assume that $(-a)^{\frac{1}{n}}=-(a)^{\frac{1}{n}}$ , which is not true for all $n>1$ . That's not a safe step to take when doing computations, because what that does is to "convert a complex quantity into a real".

This is a controversal subject, involving fractional powers of complex numbers, which are multi-valued, and this sort of thing crops up on Brilliant from time to time.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – @Ram Mohith But this solution comes into your account. I have no idea what this sentence means. Regardless. I solved it for the sake of solving it. I don’t pay attention to who does what first nor do I look at other people’s solutions until I’ve done things myself.

@Michael Mendrin I worked completely in $\mathbb{R}$ . For odd $n\in\mathbb{N}$ the unique real $n$ th root of $-a$ does coincide with $-(a^{1/n})$ . I do appreciate that if we work in $\mathbb{C}$ it is all a matter of convention: there is no compelling reason to choose one argument over another (ie the choice of $k\in\mathbb{Z}$ in $\frac{\theta+2\pi k}{n}$ ).

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

@R Mathe – Well, right, what do we do if we have multiple values for this sort of thing? Just like just because we know that $(-2)(-2)=4$ doesn't mean it's safe to assume that $\sqrt{4}=-2$ . Likewise fractional powers of negative numbers. Whenever I see something like that arise, it's never safe to "convert a complex into a real".

What's the value of $(-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ ?

I meant to explore this more in detail this morning, but this Question Game moves on.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – The value of $(-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ should be $(-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ , which denotes a multiple-valued complex quantity. It's kind of analogous to some quantities in quantum physics, huh? "It can have a range of values, depending on how you look at it".

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – It is not a multivalued object (except maybe in set theory). In algebra, it’s just ill-defined. And in complex analysis one acknowledges the existence of many inverses, and the consequences of this being any choice of the $n$ th root function $f:z\in\mathbb{C}\mapsto \sqrt[n]{|z|}\exp(\imath\frac{\arg(z)+2\pi k}{n})$ is holomorphic except along a semi-infinite line.

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

@R Mathe – "In algebra, it' s just ill-defined" (!). Well, isn't that what I've been trying to argue?

Why is my value $\frac{1}{4}(1+3\sqrt{13}+i(\sqrt{39}-\sqrt{3}))$ any less valid than "1"?

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Being ill-defined here means there be no single-valued (inverse) function $f:\mathbb{C}\longrightarrow\mathbb{C}$ . Being multi-valued means a function of the form $f:\mathbb{C}\longrightarrow\wp(\mathbb{C})$ . Both of these are technically true. But in algebra, it is not sensible to work with the latter.

Your result is fine. The whole point of this discussion, was you disputing mine. I defended my result by stating that I’m working in the framework $\mathbb{R}$ . You’re working in the framework $\mathbb{C}$ . Which framework one chooses is another issue. As soon as these are fixed, the answers are what they are—within the framework $\mathbb{R}$ the only valid result is $1$ . In your framework, which is perfectly legitimate your result is one of several perfectly valid answers.

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

@R Mathe – Oh, I don't know how you got the idea that I was disputing your solution. My apologies. Yes, earlier, before you jumped in with your solution, I did blurt out, "let's make sure if 1 is right!" Well, it was late at night, and so I didn't get the chance to review the matter until this morning, and saw what the problem was.

This is not the first time I've run to this sort of thing in Brilliant.org, where powers of complex numbers are involved. Several problems have already been posted to explore this topic.

An annoyance that I have is that for the sake of rigor, a function of the form $y=f(x)$ is, by convention, defined to be single valued. This is the reason why $y=\sqrt{x}$ by convention only yields positive $y$ , i.e. only the top half of the parabola. But lots of implicit functions of the form $f(x,y)=0$ are multi-valued in both the $x$ and $y)$ directions. This is the reason why whenever complex quantities are involved, especially powers of them, it raises red flags for me and I move with caution, and ask myself, "okay, what's the convention with this, and in what context is this? " This is just from habit now.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Sir, please try to solve the latest problem 3

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Not a problem. Generally any randomly chosen implicit functions will have many locally well-defined branches. There’s no mathematical preference for any. By contrast there is sensible preference however, when one demands restricting a solution to say a particular field. Nonetheless, as I said, one always needs to fix a framework and work in it. If things happen to have more solutions in a larger framework, then so be it. For example asking, whether $X^{2}+X+1$ be irreducible without specifying an algebraic structure, is simply begging for problems, as the answers is yes or no, depending on the context (if the field is $\mathbb{R}$ , $\mathbb{Q}$ , $\mathbb{C}$ , $\mathbb{F}_{2}$ , … or if one works in a ring, etc.).

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Your example with even values is irrelevant to what I was saying. I referred only to odd $n\in\mathbb{N}$ . For odd powers there is only one real root.

For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ odd, the map $f:x\in\mathbb{R}\mapsto x^{n}\in\mathbb{R}$ is continuous and unbound above and below, thus the image (as a continuous image of a connected set) is all of $\mathbb{R}$ , moreover the map is injective. Hence there is a unique Inverse in $\mathbb{R}$ . Thus for all $a\in\mathbb{R}$ there is exactly one value $b\in\mathbb{R}$ such that $b^{n}=a$ . This is the unique real $n$ th root. Eg, the unique real $3$ rd root of $-1$ is $-1$ .

it's never safe to "convert a complex into a real"

I disagree with this. What is sensible is it is never safe to not fix a framework. And fix a framework I did. There is no compulsion to work in one particular field. Since eg $\mathbb{Q}\subseteq\mathbb{R}\subseteq\mathbb{C}\subseteq\mathrm{GL}(\mathbb{C},3)\subseteq\ldots$ are field extensions, one could by your logic also argue, that it’s never safe to work in $\mathbb{C}$ and that one should always work in some $\mathrm{GL}(\mathbb{C},3)$ .

R Mathe - 2 years, 12 months ago

@R Mathe – Let me try to explain what I think the problem is. Suppose instead of something as complicated as the original expression, the problem asks, "what's the value of $(-1)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ "? There is no one unique answer, unless the problem asks for the unique real root. If one argues that "1" is a valid value of the original complicated expression, I can equally argue that my complex value is equally valid.

What I am saying, in ordinary mathematical computations, one must be careful about assuming only the unique real roots of such fractional powers of negative quantities. Otherwise, I could "show" that $-1 = \frac{1}{2} +\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i$ , for example (and therefore -1= 3!)

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

It's creative. I want to join into your discussion.

Matin Naseri - 2 years, 12 months ago

You can. In fact I am encouraging everyone to join this. Try to solve any question the first and you can post a new question.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

$\log_2 10 - \log_8 125$

$\log_8 125 ={\log_{2^3} 125}$

$\dfrac{1}{3}{\log_{2}125}$ , $\sqrt[3]{125}=5$

Thus $\log_2 5 ={\log_8 125}$

$\log_2 10 -$ $\log_2 5 =$ $\log_2{\frac{10}{5}}=$ $\log_2 2 = 1$

Matin Naseri - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Matin Naseri – Fine but you are the third solver to that question

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Ram Mohith – What I should do?

Also I have fixed my code,My last line had Errors.

Matin Naseri - 2 years, 12 months ago

@Matin Naseri – No problem. Leave your solution. It will come into your account. If you solved another question you will have 2 solutions and will be top in the leader board. Try to solve the latest question : Problem - 3

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

$\text{Problem 3:}$

In the $\triangle ABC$ , $O$ is any arbitrary point in the interior of the triangle. Lines $OA$ , $OB$ , $OC$ are drawn such that the angles $OAB$ , $OBC$ and $OCA$ are each equal to $\omega$ , then prove that $\cot A+\cot B+\cot C=\cot \omega$ and $\csc^2A+\csc^2B+\csc^2C=\csc^2\omega$

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 12 months ago

Ok. It is tough but no problem. But from next time onwards try to post problems of Easy and Medium difficulty.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 12 months ago

Let $a,b,c$ be the angles of the triangle and $x$ be the angle common to all 3 vertices. Then using Law of Sines, we have

$\dfrac{Sin(x)}{OB}=\dfrac{Sin(b-x)}{OA}$
$\dfrac{Sin(x)}{OC}=\dfrac{Sin(c-x)}{OB}$
$\dfrac{Sin(x)}{OA}=\dfrac{Sin(a-x)}{OC}$

Hence

$4{ \left( Sin(x) \right) }^{ 3 }=4Sin(a-x)Sin(b-x)Sin(c-x)$

And from there on, using product-to-sum and sum-to-product trig identities, we have

$3Sin(x)-Sin(3x)=Sin(2a+x)+Sin(2b+x)-Sin(2(a+b)-x)-Sin(3x)$

then after rearrangement and adding the term $-Sin(2a-x)$ on both sides

$-Sin(2a-x)+Sin(x)+Sin(2(a+b)-x)-Sin(2b+x)=-Sin(2a-x)-2Sin(x)+Sin(2a+x)$

then

$-4Cos(x)Sin(a)Sin(b)Sin(a+b)+4Cos(a)Sin(b)Sin(a+b)Sin(x)=$ $-4Cos(b)Sin(a)Sin(a+b)Sin(x)+4Cos(a+b)Sin(a)Sin(b)Sin(x)$

and finally

$Sin(a)Sin(b)Sin(c)Sin(x)(Cot(a)+Cot(b)+Cot(c)-Cot(x))=0$

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 12 months ago

Good solution sir. If it is correct you are the one who can post the next question. But let's see what Vilaskhan Gupta says.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 11 months ago

Can you explain your first step, from where did the first equation come?

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Vilakshan Gupta – I'll put that first step in, see my solution

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Vilakshan Gupta is Micheal Mendrin solution correct or not. Please tell I have to update the note.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Ram, the full solution is going to be much longer than what I've posted, many more steps inbetween. What I've posted are the key steps, especiallly the middle part. I've not been able to figure out a shorter way to prove it. Maybe Gupta can just post a new question and start over.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – The solution seems fine, mine is also a similar solution. Then according to the rules of this game, you can post a new question Sir.

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Vilakshan Gupta – Ok.Now the question is solved by Michael Mendrin sir and he can now post the latest questions.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 11 months ago

Two unit disks are randomly thrown on the plane. If they overlap, what's the expected distance between their centers?

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

$\text{Problem 4:}$

Two unit disks are randomly thrown on the plane. If they overlap, what's the expected distance between their centers?

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 11 months ago

Ah, that's what's wrong with this problem, if I say your answer is wrong, then somebody else will probably figure out the correct answer.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

I solved it like this: If they overlap, maximum distance between their centres would be 2(if they just touches each other). Minimum distance between their centres would be 0, when they are coincident. So expected distance can be average of maximum and minimum which is 1.

Vaibhav Priyadarshi - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Vaibhav Priyadarshi – Okay, well, no, 1 is not the correct answer. In fact, if you do a computer simulation, randomly throwing unit discs on the plane, you won't get 1.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

The answer is $\boxed{0}$ .

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Tom Clancy – The minimum and maximum possible distances are 0 and 2, so the expected value is somewhere inbetween.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Okay, thus I think the final answer is $\boxed{0.5}$ .

What about $\boxed{0.5}$ ?

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Tom Clancy – In mathematics, you don't get to guess. But, I can tell you it's some kind of a fraction.

It's not 0.5 and it's not 1/2

Pick a fraction between 0 and 2.

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

I know two methods of doing it, but I know none!

One method is by using an excel sheet and other is by integration (both of which I don't know)

Just another guess....0.67

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 11 months ago

Yes, the correct answer is 2/3

Michael Mendrin - 2 years, 11 months ago

@Michael Mendrin – Sir,you may ask another question since this was solved by none...

Vilakshan Gupta - 2 years, 11 months ago

Sir, I will mark this as solved by Vilakshan Gupta. I am giving chance for Mohammad Farhan to post the latest problem.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Mohammad Farhat – Just Kidding

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

The correct answer is $8$ sweets.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

Explain

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Mohammad Farhat – I have posted my solution. I forgot to tell one thing. Please write the question number (here Problem 5) at the starting of your question.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – OK

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

Solution for Problem 5

The number of letters in each person's name is the count of sweets they have.

That's Right! That's what the Gifted Education Programme in Singapore has

You are now tied With Vilakshan Gupta

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

But Vilakshan Gupta answer two questions which are not posted by himself. But I answered one question which I itself posted and now your question. So, first priority is given to him.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – OH

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

Ram, You forgot to follow (Combinatorics) and (Electricity and Magnetism)

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

Because those chapters are not started yet in our academics.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

But do you know permutations?

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Mohammad Farhat – Yes some basics in our class 10.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Then at least learn more fundamentals and make your fundamentals strong as you said

$\text{Problem - 6}$

A ball falls on surface from $10~m$ height and rebounds to $2.5~m$ . If the duration of contact with floor is $0.01$ seconds. Find the average acceleration during the contact ?

$(A) 2100~m/s^2$

$(B) 1400~m/s^2$

$(C) 700~m/s^2$

$(D) 400~m/s^2$

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

Wow, you are even kinder. You gave options

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

How many times can we pick the options?

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

It not based on how many times you attempt. The first one who gives the correct solution with explanation is said to be as the first solver.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

(D) because 10/2.5 =4

according to acceleration = m/s^2

so 4/0.01=400

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 10 months ago

No. wrong explanation.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

I think the correct answer is $2100{\frac{m}{s^2}}$ but I'm not sure about it.

Note: you have a typo in your first line. Find no fid

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 10 months ago

Yes you are correct. But you should provide your explanation.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Again I'm not sure about my solution.

$2.5×10=25;{\frac{25}{0.01}}=2500$

$10÷2.5= 4; {\frac{4}{0.01}}=400$

$2500 - 400 = 2100$

Hence the answer is $2100{\frac{m}{s^2}}$

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Tom Clancy – Okay but why you multiplied and divided 2.5 and 10

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Is my solution right?

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Tom Clancy – Yes it is correct. Tom Clancy you have solved this question so you can now post a new question.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Okay, I will post my problem as soon as possible, but is it your own problem?

Tom Clancy - 2 years, 10 months ago

@Tom Clancy – Tom Clancy when are you going to post your problem.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 9 months ago

@Ram Mohith – I have been waiting for a new question....

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 1 month ago

@Ram Mohith, When will @Tom Clancy post a new question

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 8 months ago

Don't know. As he is a new user he came to brilliant only 2 or 3 days and then he stopped.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Ram Mohith – Maybe you post a new question

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Mohammad Farhat – I am now in vacation and out of station and will not be available for 2 days more. So I cannot post a problem now.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Ram Mohith – ohh! Relax on your vacation

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 8 months ago

@Ram Mohith – @Ram Mohith, can you please post another question?

Mohammad Farhat - 2 years, 7 months ago
