But if you put only Δh=0, so the equation is then Δu+PΔν=0. But Δv=0 assuming it is incompressible. So, we get only Δu=0. Then how do I solve the problem?
Thanks BvU. Yes, I googled similar problems and understood what needs to be done. By displacing the block by θ I calculate the new CM height which comes out to be
h=Rcosθ+Rθsinθ+2cosθ
Now, it is just differentiating twice. So, for...

Hi Chet, thanks for your reply. Yeah, I had a brief introduction to it a long time back. I read it again and I think I have solved the problem. Basically, all the terms cancel out and we are left with the following equation: Q=m(h2-h1) where enthalpy per unit mass h=u+Pv...
