To calculate the distance from the dog to the column when the rope breaks, the scenario involves a 1.20 m rope tied to a dog and wrapped around a square column with 24 cm sides. When the dog pulls on the rope, it breaks at the collar. The resulting distance from the dog to the column is determined to be 27.2 cm. Clarification is needed on terms like "sliding laze" and the specifics of the column's dimensions. Visual aids, such as a diagram, could help in understanding the setup better.

a rope of 1.20 m length has at one end a tie slide and in another a collar that attaches to a dog. The rope is passed through the sliding laze and around a square column of 24 cm from side to keep the tied-up dog while his master departs; but the dog pulls rope, and manages to break it by the collar. Calculate the distance from the dog to the face of the column when the rope breaks.
answer 27,2 cmI have no idea how I can solve it

Please draw a diagram. I am not sure what a "sliding laze" and a "square column of 24 cm from side" are.

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'

Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
