    Get Help Solving a Cylinder in Equilibrium Problem

    The force due to the right liquid comes out to be 3/2*rho*g*R^2*l (from integration).So we can see the pressure = 3/2*rho*g*R and area = R*l. so i think we can conclude that surface to be a cuboid of dimensions R*R*l

    Get Help Solving a Cylinder in Equilibrium Problem

    If you try to change the surface you still have to find the relation between the force on curved surface and any other surface.So I think there is no way without integration.

    What is the acceleration of the ring on a vertical rod with a spring?

    o,made silly mistakes. \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{k}{m}(\frac{D}{sinθ}-D)cosθ + g now what to do after this?Should we consider a small change in θ and integrate it over the "θ" range to find the velocity??

    What is the acceleration of the ring on a vertical rod with a spring?

    So i should write it as: F=k(D/sinθ -3) ... D =horizontal distance so putting this value in first equation: ma=Fcosθ + mg ma=k(D/sinθ-3)cosθ + mg dv/dt = k/m(D/sinθ-3)cosθ + g \frac{dv}{dt}=\frac{k}{m}(\frac{D}{sinθ}-3)+g

    What is the acceleration of the ring on a vertical rod with a spring?

    thanks for the reply Haruspex:smile: From hooks law: F=k*x ...where x is the length of spring. from geometry: cosθ=h/x so x=h/cosθ so F=k*h/cosθ
