AI Thread Summary
To calculate the tension force on the diving board with Sally's weight of 50 kg, additional information is needed, specifically the dimensions of the diving board and the spacing of the bolts. The tension forces in bolts A and C depend on these measurements, as well as the distribution of Sally's weight. Without this data and an initial attempt at solving the problem, further assistance cannot be provided. Accurate calculations require a complete understanding of the setup. Providing the missing details will enable a more precise analysis of the forces involved.

Hey guys, question:

Sally is standing on a diving board. Her weight is 50 kg. The diving board is fastened to a bracket with bolts A and B, and the bracket is fastened to the ground with bolts C and D.

Estimate the force of the bolts that are in tension (A and C) when sally is standing still..

Help please?

Hi, Rudeted,

Your problem statement is incomplete because you don't indicate any dimensions, like the length of the diving board and the bolt spacings. Please show what they are, AND also you must show some attempt at your work before we can be of further assistance.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

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 .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

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...
