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 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'
Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...
