AI Thread Summary
A 6.2 kg block of ice is on a 17-degree incline with a coefficient of friction of 0.030. The problem requires creating a free body diagram (FBD) to visualize the forces acting on the block. Key forces include the gravitational force acting downward, the normal force perpendicular to the incline, and the frictional force opposing the motion. The goal is to calculate the net force acting on the block. Understanding these forces is essential for solving the problem effectively.

Is there a question you can provide in your problem statement?
 
Oh yeah my bad i forgot to add that haha...First of all I'm supposed to draw a FBD, and then I have to find the Net force
 
well first of all you have the force mg on the object down. The normal force 90 degrees to the plane of motion and the friction force opposing motion.
 

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...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
