Question:
A string spring is connected between two bodys with a rope above them.

What I do not get is why should a stress much lower than yield point cause deformation in a material?
If temperature is high intermolecular attraction is reduced and thus even low stress can deform things.
But if it is low
Then a force lower than yield point should be less than intermolecular...

What came to my mind for this question is:
Consider one of the cars. The velocity and mass of this car are V and M respectively.
And the velocity and mass of the piece attached to the car are m, v respectively.
Before the collision, the velocity of this piece relative to this car is zero. So its...
qvB=mv^2/R
R=mv/qB= p/qB !
As you can see, the difference between this relation and the relation in question is in 'c'.
Maybe my way is wrong. Maybe I should get help from relativity because the speed of light is involved here.
Please help. Thankful

My approach:
Let us take two orthogonal axes: x, parallel to the racket's plane and y, perpendicular to it. For the ball to not spin, the components of initial velocities of the racket and the ball along x axis must be same. Also, as the line of collision is along the normal to the racket's...

On object 2: There are only 2 horizontal forces - Friction and Tension (of the spring).
T = km2g
On Object 1: There are 3 horizontal forces and the minimum value for F is when:
F - km1g - km2g = 0
F = kg(m1 + m2)
However, Solution is:
F = kg(m1 + 0.5 m2)
Any opinion?

I just wanna know the difference between those rules:
1. R^2 = F1^2 * F2^2 + 2*F1*F2*COS(the angle between F1 and F2)

Which one is correct?
