Calculate the hieght of the cones by using Solid angle?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the height of cones using solid angles, it is important to understand that two cones can share the same solid angle while differing in height if one is scaled. The discussion highlights the need for more information to solve the problem effectively. The equation for solid angle, denoted as d(omega), is mentioned but not elaborated upon. Participants express confusion about how to proceed with the given data. A clear understanding of the relationship between solid angle and cone dimensions is essential for solving the problem.

Nothing much with that information. You can have two cones with the same solid angle and different heights if one is scaled, say, to be twice as large as the other.

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'

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...
