    What Forces Act on a Static Cylinder on an Inclined Plane?

    My problem is the force diagram. Does the friction F act upward opposing the motion down and the torque caused by the tension?

    What Forces Act on a Static Cylinder on an Inclined Plane?

    Hi everyone, If I have a static cylinder on an inclined rough plane at an angle alpha supported by a chord under tension, which leaves the surface of the cylinder at a tangent upwards and parallel to the plane. Does the weight component trying to pull it downwards equal the sum of the friction...

    Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution derivatives

    You're absolutely right, I completely over-thought the problem. So, t[SUB]1 = Time particle takes between the 2 discs = d/u = L/u t[SUB]2 = Time taken for disc 2 to reach correct position = θ/ω For a particle to pass through both notches & hit detector, t[SUB]1 must equal t[SUB]2 So, L/u =...

    Maxwell-Boltzmann speed distribution derivatives

    Hi everyone, Molecules move into a vacuum chamber from an oven at constant T. The molecules then pass through a slit. They reach two rotating discs before finally reaching a detector. Show that a molecule that passes through the first slit will...
