Building a self contained device for project

AI Thread Summary
The project involves creating a self-contained device that can navigate through a standard doorway and transport an egg from an egg cup to a target beyond a cart, starting from a distance of 0.5 meters. The device must operate independently without any assistance or interaction once it begins moving. Participants are encouraged to brainstorm ideas and consider drawing a schematic to visualize their concepts. The challenge emphasizes the importance of design and engineering principles in creating a functional solution. Engaging with others for inspiration and feedback can help generate viable ideas for the project.

Homework Statement


We must build a self contained device which can pass through a standard doorway. It will start .5 metres from the egg cup with an egg in it this egg cup is then .5 metres from a cart that the egg has to pass through and continue going to a target on the other side of the cart. We can not touch the car after it has started moving and we can not assist it in anyway through the cart or picking up the egg.

I have no ideas so far and do not know where to start.

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'

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...
