Cookware handles
Health
March 31, 2020
Question
I have had prudential waterless cookware since 1970. Love it. Can I put the frying pan in the oven or will the handles be ruined?
Diana - USA (29402)
Answer
It is great that your cookware has lasted so long. However, putting the frying pan in the over could possibly damage the handles. It would be better to use some other type of pan.

Hi there,
Karen here from Autism Parenting Magazine, the leading magazine for parents of autistic children as well as professionals seeking to work with children on the spectrum.
I am just reaching out because of your piece here: https://school-for-champions.com/mentalhealth/resources.htm
Now the reason it caught my eye is that I recently put together an updated post and guide on the best vitamins and supplements for autism which I thought would make a very worthy addition into your piece.
If you'd like to check it out, the link is below:
https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/best-supplements-vitamins-autism/
If it's worth it, I was wondering if you might consider dropping my link into your wonderful piece?
I would be super grateful if you might consider it or do you want to do some collaboration?

Special exponent cases
Algebra
February 24, 2020
Question
Thank you sir for the opportunity to ask a question.my question goes like this:
we talk of a^m ×b^m = (axb)^m , and a^m × a^n = a^(mn); But if we have:
Q1. a^m × b^n = ??, And
Q2. 16a^5 ÷ 4a^2 = ???
Please help on what to do in these cases since no law backs them.
Kwo - Cameroon (29367)
Answer
Often it is handy to write the problem with small numbers to understand the rule.
Note that a^m × a^n is not = a^(mn). Consider a^2 x a^3 = aa x aaa = a^5 = a^(2+3) or a^(m+n)
Q1: Even using small numbers, you can see the a^m x b^n cannot be simplified.
Q2: 16a^5 ÷ 4a^2 = (4^2*a^5)/(4a^2) = 4a^(5 - 2) = 4a^3
I hope that helps. Best wishes for success in Algebra.

Coefficient of friction on an incline
Physics
February 17, 2020
Question
When finding the coefficient of friction on an incline, is it helpful to go with the lowest value or should I take the average? Or both?
Hannah - USA (29361)
Answer
First there is static friction on an incline, holding back the object. Then once the object slides, there is sliding friction, which as a lower coefficient of friction. Typically, you only state the sliding coefficient.

Distribution of pressure
Physics
February 5, 2020
Question
Considering that Pressure is force over Area, i.e. If a place a 1,600 pound distributed over a bar of say a bar of 4 FT X 1 Ft weight -> the pressure in psi is calculated over the area of the bar.
I am told that If a place under the still bar (supporting the 1,600 pound weight) a 5 FT X 4 Ft a 1" thick playwood sheet / board the 1,600 Lb Pressure is then distributed over the area if the 5' X 4' area.
Is this correct ? Thank you for assisting an 80 year old engineer that is not clear on these matter.
Tony - USA (29345)
Answer
The pressure is distributed over the area in contact. The pressure from the 4 X 1 bar on the 5 X 4 sheet only concerns 1600 X 4 X 1. However, the pressure of the plywood sheet with the bar on top of it on the ground would relate to the area of the sheet.
