AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a physics problem involving a rotating ring on a surface, specifically analyzing the acceleration of the center, the frictional force from the ground, and the normal reaction when the ring's geometric center has a velocity of $$ \sqrt{gR} $$. Participants are encouraged to provide their attempts at solving the problem to facilitate guidance. The conversation emphasizes the importance of showing work to receive constructive feedback. The thread also references a related discussion for additional context.

I'm not sure if I can add on by adding a similar question, if I am not allowed someone please tell me.

A ring is rotating as shown in the figure. At that particular instant when the velocity of the geometric center is $$ \sqrt{gR} $$ find the
1. Acceleration of center
2. Frictional force from ground
3. Normal reaction

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

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...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
