Mass being dropped on spinning disk problem NEED HELP

AI Thread Summary
A disk with a radius of 1.25m and a mass of 10kg is spinning at 10 rad/s when a 5kg mass is dropped onto it at a distance of 0.50m from the center. The problem involves calculating the time and distance the mass slips on the disk, given a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.40. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts and specific points of confusion to facilitate assistance. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing work to receive effective help. Engaging with the community can lead to a clearer understanding of the physics involved.

Mass being dropped on spinning disk problem NEED HELP!

1. A disk has a radius of 1.25m and a mass of 10kg. It lies flat on a smooth table and is spinning with an initial velocity of 10 rad/s about a pin at its center. A 5kg mass is dropped on it at a distance of 0.50m from its center. Find:
(Extra credit) if the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the disk is 0.40, determine:
i. the time while slipping























ii. the distance traveled while slipping

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...
