AI Thread Summary
A shop sign weighing 255 N is supported by a uniform beam weighing 145 N, creating a system in static equilibrium. The forces acting on the system include the weight of the sign, the weight of the beam, the tension in the guy wire, and the forces exerted by the hinge. In static equilibrium, the sum of all forces and the sum of torques must equal zero. The tension in the guy wire and the hinge forces can be calculated using these principles. Properly solving the equations will yield the required values for tension and hinge forces.

A shop sign weighing 255 N is supported by a uniform 145 N beam as shown in Fig. 9-54. Find the tension in the guy wire. Find the horizontal and vertical forces exerted by the hinge on the beam.

Write down all the forces acting on the system. The system is in static equilibrium so what can you conclude from it? (Meaning about the torque and sum of all forces).
 
i have that done just didnt know how to put it on the forum. i think they would be 0...
 
Right. Now solve the equations you have. Especially solve for what they're asking you.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
