Analytical Circular Rotation

Click For Summary

A point P on a smaller wheel cannot trace a straight line path inside a circular road due to the nature of circular motion. The discussion references an illustration from a physics resource to clarify the concept. Participants express confusion about the mechanics of circular rotation and how it relates to linear paths. The geometry involved complicates the idea of a straight line being traced. Understanding these principles is essential for grasping the relationship between circular motion and linear trajectories.

I do not catch what you mean. Do you mean what is illustrated in the lower figure of the attached I took from http://galileoandeinstein.physics.virginia.edu/tns_draft/index.html. ?

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
