AI Thread Summary

To calculate the moment of inertia of a tyre about its central axis, one can combine the moment of inertia of the tyre itself with that of the rim. The moment of inertia for a solid cylinder can be used as a reference, but specific formulas for the tyre's geometry may not be readily available. It is suggested to consult external resources for detailed calculations and methods. Understanding the distribution of mass in both the tyre and rim is crucial for accurate results. Properly calculating these values is essential for applications in physics and engineering.

how could i calculate the moment of inertia of a tyre
if i needed the moment of inertia about the central access of the tyre
could i add the moment of inertia of the tyre+ the moment of inertia of the rim

and how do i calculate the moment of inertia of the tyre, i can't find any assosiated formula for tht geometry

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
