AI Thread Summary
To calculate the ice volume in Antarctica, modeled as a semicircle with a radius of 2000 km and a thickness of 3000 m, one needs the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The discussion emphasizes the importance of showing some work before receiving help, as per forum guidelines. Users are directed to resources like Wikipedia for the necessary formulas. The conversation highlights a common issue of seeking homework assistance in inappropriate forums. Ultimately, understanding the volume calculation is crucial for accurately determining Antarctica's ice volume.

if antartica is a semicircle w/ a radius of 2000km and the ice covering it is 3000m thick then how many cm3 of ice doe antartica have?(ignore curvature of the earth)

anyone know this? i forgot the formula ^^;

Well, that will teach you not to post homework questions in the general technical forums :rolleyes: It's not just a PF rule, you really do get the best homework help in the Homework Help forums.

I'll go ahead and move your question to a Homework Help forum now.

<<moved>>

And here in the Homework Help forums, we ask you to show some of your work before giving you tutorial help. It sounds like you are just asking for the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder, right? You can find that on wikipedia.org if you've forgotten it and don't have a reference book handy. What does wikipedia say for the formula of the volume of a cylinder?

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...
