    didn't mean dat,,only if u catch that thing,,,,

    3. to find out direction of friction force,,,, just assume the surfaces smooth,,,,then find out direction of relative motion between the two surfaces,,,,the friction will always try to stop this relative motion,,,, in ur case when the cylinder is rolling up,,,frictional force (acting upward)...

    Undergrad How Does Archimedes' Paradox Explain Buoyancy in Immiscible Liquids?

    first thing this is not a paradox at all... u shud go thru d basics of fluid mechanics,,,, Archimedes principle is nothing but net upward force due to pressure difference.,,, in ur problem the net force on the curved surface is zero (balanced),,, net force on the upper part is downward which...
