The discussion revolves around a hypothetical scenario involving two jugglers attempting to cross a bridge with a weight limit of 50kg while juggling five balls, each weighing 2kg. The focus is on the feasibility of crossing the bridge under these conditions, exploring concepts of weight, momentum, and forces involved in juggling.
Participants do not reach a consensus on whether either juggler can successfully cross the bridge. Multiple competing views and interpretations of the physics involved remain unresolved.
The discussion includes various assumptions about the jugglers' techniques, the effects of air resistance, and the time taken to catch and throw the balls, which are not fully specified or agreed upon.
Just to reiterate what I think is the definite argument in this case: The average force has to be larger than 50 kg-wt (55 kg-wt for 5 balls of 2 kg and one juggler of 45 kg to be precise), thus there must be points in time when the force is larger and the bridge breaks.AdityaDev said:The person exerts a force to throw the ball upwards and it came out to be more that 2kg.
