Click For 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 '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...
