A rocket fires two engines simultaneously

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the resultant force exerted on a rocket by two engines firing simultaneously. One engine produces a thrust of 655N directly forward, while the other provides 508N at a 34.0-degree angle above the forward direction. The first task is to determine the magnitude of the resultant force from these two thrusts. The second task involves finding the deviation of the resultant force's direction relative to the forward direction. Accurate calculations are essential for understanding the overall thrust dynamics of the rocket.

A rocket fires two engines simultaneously. One produces a thrust of 655N directly forward while the other gives a thrust of 508N at an angle 34.0∘ above the forward direction
1.Find the magnitude of the resultant force which these engines exert on the rocket.
2.Find the deviation of the direction (relative to the forward direction) of the resultant force which these engines exert on the rocket.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
