AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the maximum tension in cable ABAD while ensuring that the moment at point A does not exceed 217 N.m. The problem involves a small boat suspended from two brackets, with specific forces acting on it. The calculated maximum tension in the cable is determined to be 196 N. Clarifications are provided regarding the relationship between the moment and the tension in the cable. Understanding this relationship is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

A small boat hangs from two brackets, one of which is shown in the figure. It is known that the moment, on the z axis, the resulting force Ra applied in the point A of support must not exceed the value of 217 N.m, in value absolute. Determine the more value possible the traction force in cable ABAD.

Not understand the problem. What is the issue? How can I fix?

Hi Apprentice123! :smile:

It means, if the moment of RA about that z-axis is 217 N.m, what is the tension in the cable? :wink:
 

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...
