    Ball Rolling
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on how the roughness of a hoop affects the time period of a ball rolling on it. The ball experiences a balance of gravitational and reaction forces at its mean position, but when displaced, torque is generated due to gravitational force acting about the hoop's center. The time period of the ball's motion is influenced by factors such as radius, gravitational acceleration, and the angle of displacement. Participants are encouraged to provide relevant equations and their work for further assistance. Understanding these dynamics is essential for solving the problem accurately.

Homework Statement
Finding the time period dependence upon another factors such as (radius, g, angular displacement) of the ball.
Relevant Equations
torque balance equation
If the ball's rolling on a vertical hoop placed in contact with floor and with the lowest point being the mean position of the ball undergoing to and fro motion with small angular displacement. In what ways it's time period is solved out provided the surface of the hoop is rough.
If the block is in mean position then the total gravitational force is balanced out with the reaction force.
But when it is displaced with small angle, let theta the gravitational force provides torque about the center of hoop and not about the lowest point which is in contact with the ground then such it depends upon the angle. The problem is the reaction force at this point has nothing to do with providing torque and point about which it rotates is the center of hoop.

Welcome to the PF. :smile:

You must show the Relevant Equations and post your work before we can be of tutorial help. Please reply with that information, and we will try to make sure that you are not leaving anything out of your work. Thanks.
 
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...
