    How Much Force is Needed to Raise a Block on a Frictional Wedge?

    What I thought was, as force is a free vector, we could move it to the bottom of block or on the incline surface of wedge. The force is not normal to either surfaces. So, in that case, we generally take two components: one along the incline and one normal to it. Also, in any case, friction is...

    How Much Force is Needed to Raise a Block on a Frictional Wedge?

    Yes. I'll give it a shot. There is a wedge with 15 degrees wedge angle standing on rollers. The block placed is cut in such a way that it's bottom edge (the one which touches the wedge) is parallel to incline of the wedge. The block is placed in vertical channel and there are rollers in there...

    Work done in various frames of reference

    Homework Statement The problem, basically, is very simple but, it is confusing me. It says: "There is block on a moving train, which is being pushed by a man. The man applies force F to displace the block by s wrt Train. The moves S in that period. Find work done on the block by the force wrt...

    What Are the Different Equations for Free Fall Drop?

    they are same things. in second equation replace x by y and as the object is in free fall, initial velocity is zero.

    Rain and man problem. (relative motion)

    By using Pythagoras, you can find the actual velocity of rain. And then use it in the next case. Here, as V of rain wrt man is perpendicular to ground, you can constuct a triangle to find actual velocity of rain.

    Explanation of Mpemba effect for freezing of water

    I recently came across an odd phenomenon known as Mpemba effect. It says that hot water freezes quicker than cool water provided that temperature difference is not too much. E.g. it can be, say, 30 degrees Celsius and 50 degrees Celsius but not something like 99 and 1. Unfortunately, the book...
