    Angular Variables
AI Thread Summary
To determine the angular speed of the reel, the relationship between linear speed and angular speed is applied, where linear speed (v) equals the radius (r) multiplied by angular speed (ω). Given that the fishing line is wound onto the reel at a constant speed, the linear speed can be calculated by dividing the total distance of the line (2.6 m) by the time taken (8.4 s), resulting in a linear speed of approximately 0.3095 m/s. The radius of the reel is 3.0 cm, which converts to 0.03 m. Using the formula v = r * ω, the angular speed can be derived as ω = v/r, yielding an angular speed of approximately 10.32 rad/s. This calculation illustrates the relationship between linear and angular motion in the context of the fishing reel.

In 8.4 s a fisherman winds 2.6 m of fishing line onto a reel whose radius is 3.0 cm (assumed to be constant as an approximation). The line is being reeled in at a constant speed. Determine the angular speed of the reel.

If a disc spins, then the linear speed v of a pt on the circumference is given by v=r*w, where w(omega) is the angular speed of the disc.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
