AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a physics problem involving two boxes, m1 (12kg) and m2 (23kg), connected by a rope, with m2 being pulled by a 50N force. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the surface is 0.1. Key calculations include finding the tension in the rope and the acceleration of the system, while considering the frictional forces acting on both blocks. Participants are encouraged to draw free body diagrams to visualize the forces at play and to account for friction in their calculations. Understanding these concepts is essential for accurately determining the system's dynamics.

so you have two boxes m1 and m2 with weights 12kg and 23kg respectfully, with a rope connecting the two and also a rope pullling m2 with force 50n. I know how to find the tension of the string connecting the 2 and acceleration but how do you do this with respect to friction where the coeff of kenetic friction between each block and the surface is .1? Thanks for the help.


m1---T--- m2---->50N

m1=12kg
m2=23kg
T=17.14

Draw the freebody diagrams of both blocks. What forces act on the block? How can you account for them?
 
what about accel?
 

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}...
