Calculating Angular Velocity and Gear Ratio for a Winding Drum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating angular velocity and gear ratio for a winding drum. The user calculates angular velocity using the formula w = 2PI f, resulting in 66.66 radians/second. They then compute the linear velocity of the drum as V = wr, yielding 19998. The user also attempts to find the motor velocity by dividing the drum velocity by the gearbox reduction ratio of 200, resulting in 99.99. The conversation highlights the importance of correct formulas and calculations in solving the problem.

Homework Equations



w = 2PI f

v = wr

Time = 2PI R/V

The Attempt at a Solution



w = (2000/PI x 60) x 2PI = 66.66 Radians/Sec

V = wr = 66.6 x 300 = 19998 ( Is this velocity of the winding drum)

19998/200 = 99.99 ( Velocity/200 reduction gearbox, gives me the velocity of the motor?)


Help Appriciated.

Sorry my mistake i have posting the wrong image its ment to be:

I was thinking to my self, iIve been working on that question, with someone from the froums.

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 .
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...
