Circular Motion - Triangular Frame

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around solving a problem involving a triangular frame in circular motion with an accelerating frame. A pseudo-force of 3mg/2 is applied to points B and C in the leftward direction due to the frame's acceleration. The Center of Mass (CoM) is identified as lying at the midpoint between B and C, with a known distance to point A. Participants express confusion about the application of forces and the conditions under which the masses complete a circular motion. The conversation touches on concepts from Lagrangian mechanics, work and energy, circular motion, and kinematics.

The Attempt at a Solution


I'm going to post all that I figured out or tried. Most of it is really just pieces of information that I don't know how to put together.

The frame is accelerating, so I have to apply a pseudo-force of \frac{3mg}{2} on B and C in the leftward direction.
The Center of Mass of the system lies on the midpoint on B and C. I know the distance between the CoM and A.

I tried energy conservation, taking zero potential at BC. That didn't help either.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i can't see your question
is it a pic?
 
If i am guessing right, frame is acc. along +X axis so you should apply pseudo force in -X

but i can't understand which is going where and masses should complete a circle in frame of A? ... it will if there is no gravity... and is the figure parallel to ground or what>?
 
are you familiar with Lagrangian mechanics
 
not exactyl that i have studied somthing like that but i have studied topics work&energy, circular motion, kinematics, momentum and stuff
 

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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
