AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a challenging Webwork problem that the original poster has struggled with while attempting to apply Stokes' Theorem. Despite multiple attempts, they have not achieved the correct answer and seek assistance from others. The poster mentions an issue with embedding an image of the problem due to restrictions on the forum. Ultimately, they report having solved the problem and express willingness to share the solution if others are interested. The conversation highlights the collaborative nature of problem-solving in mathematics.

That is the problem. It has been driving me nuts. I have tried stoke's theorem but I cannot get the correct answer. I know this because this is a webwork problem and I have attempted it 30 times.

i would like to embed the picture of the problem but it says img code is off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
